Everything you need to ship a carousel campaign

From design to delivery to attribution.

2–10 cards per carousel

Stack up to 10 product or offer cards in one message. Each card carries its own image (hero / square), headline, body text, and up to 2 CTAs.

Per-card images and CTAs

Each card is independently configurable. Mix product photos with lifestyle imagery, mix 'Shop now' buttons with 'Learn more' URL CTAs and phone-call actions.

Personalization variables

Use {{first_name}}, {{order_id}}, {{loyalty_tier}}, or any custom field per card. The same carousel template serves thousands of recipients with personalized content.

Per-card click tracking

See exactly which card each recipient clicked. Find your best-performing offers and double down. A/B test card order, headlines, and images.

Product catalog sync

Pull cards directly from your Shopify or WooCommerce catalog. Carousels auto-update when prices or inventory change — no manual rebuild.

Meta-approved templates

All carousels go through Meta's standard template review. We handle the submission flow and surface rejections with actionable feedback so you fix the right issue.

Why carousels are the WhatsApp template type to invest in

WhatsApp added carousel templates to its Business API in 2024 because their data showed engagement on multi-card messages was 3x higher than on single-image templates. That gap holds up in our customer data too — carousel campaigns consistently see open-to-click ratios of 30–50% vs 8–15% for static broadcasts.

The reason is psychological: a carousel feels like a curated selection, while a static template feels like an ad. Customers swipe through carousels because each card is a low-cost interaction — they're not committing to anything by looking at card 4. By the time they've swiped through 6 cards, they've spent 15 seconds with your brand and probably found something they want to click on. That's a fundamentally different experience from a single image with one button.

Edesy supports the full 10-card carousel format Meta allows. We give you a visual builder so you can compose the carousel without writing JSON, and we handle the Meta template submission flow — including parsing rejection reasons so you know exactly what to change. If you have an e-commerce catalog (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce), you can pull cards directly: pick a collection, configure the per-card CTA template, and the carousel auto-updates as inventory and prices change.

The compounding advantage is the analytics. Most platforms track only 'carousel sent' and 'carousel clicked'. Edesy tracks every click per card per recipient — so you know which products in a 10-card lineup are pulling and which are dead weight. After a few campaigns, you'll have meaningful data on which images, copy, and CTAs convert best for your audience. That's not theoretical — it's the difference between a campaign that breaks even and one that 5x's.
