Migrating from Gupshup to 5MinutesAPI: A Technical Guide
By 5MinutesAPI Engineering•
The Volume Dilemma
Gupshup is a popular aggregator, but their pricing model heavily penalizes scale. Their per-message markups on top of Meta's rates quickly erode the margins of high-volume senders in regions like India and Latin America.The Zero-Markup Migration
5MinutesAPI flips this model. By offering a Dedicated WABA for $99/mo, we remove the per-message middleman tax entirely.
Migration Steps:
- Number Porting: Use the Meta Business Manager to disable two-step verification on Gupshup and port the number directly into your 5MinutesAPI workspace.
- Payload Mapping: Our REST API is streamlined. Update your backend HTTP requests from Gupshup's proprietary XML/JSON to our clean, standard Meta JSON structure.
- Go Live: Our Golang core takes over immediately, providing you with sub-15ms latency and automated micro-second refunds for failed deliveries.
