I will use it to send messages to my customers notifying them about purchases, product status, delivery.

You risk my number being blocked by whatsapp? Who uses today in production, works 100%?

There are a few good pratices to follow if you don't want your number banned:

[ ] Don't spam
[ ] Make sure your customer has consented about receiving messages from your bot
[ ] Let your custumers contact your bot first

If you plan to send just a few messages per day it shouldn't be a problem I also suggest reading #416 where we discuss more about bans.

Curiosity, Is there any official Facebook API that can be used for this purpose?

lfdelphino commented 5 years ago

Sure, Facebook has developed an (still closed) API for WhatsApp Business

You can check it here: Facebook or Twilio
