How to Earn Money Reselling WhatsApp to Your GoHighLevel Clients
Turn WhatsApp into a revenue stream for your GHL agency. Learn how to set markup pricing, automate billing, and earn recurring income with WH Connect's marketplace.
The opportunity: WhatsApp as a profit center
Most GHL agencies treat WhatsApp as a cost. WH Connect turns it into a revenue stream. With the built-in marketplace, you set your own prices for WhatsApp — your clients pay what you decide, and you keep the markup as pure profit. Every sub-account that activates WhatsApp becomes recurring monthly revenue for your agency.
How the marketplace works
WH Connect's marketplace is built specifically for the GHL agency model:
1. You connect your Stripe account during onboarding
2. You set your prices for each plan (Starter and Unlimited)
3. You add the WH Connect Custom Menu Link in GHL
4. Your clients see the link in their sub-account, click it, and pay YOUR price
5. WH Connect keeps the base cost, you receive the difference
6. Payments arrive in your Stripe weekly
Your clients never see WH Connect's branding — it's fully white-label.
Pricing strategy: how much markup to charge
WH Connect's base price starts at €29/month (Starter) and €35/month (Unlimited). You can set any price above that.
Common markup strategies:
• Conservative: Add €10-20/month markup. Low barrier, high activation rate
• Standard: Add €30-50/month markup. Good balance of profit and value
• Premium: Add €70-100+/month markup. Works when you bundle with done-for-you automation setup
With 20 active sub-accounts at €40 markup each, that's €800/month in pure profit — from a service that runs itself.
Selling WhatsApp to your clients
You don't need to hard-sell. WhatsApp sells itself when you frame it right:
• "Your competitors are already on WhatsApp" — urgency
• "98% open rate vs 20% for email" — data
• "$0 per message vs $0.05 per SMS" — cost savings
• "Setup takes 30 seconds" — zero friction
The best approach: set up a demo sub-account with WhatsApp connected, show your client a live workflow sending a WhatsApp message, and let them experience the speed and simplicity.
Automating client onboarding
With WH Connect, client onboarding is self-service. Your client clicks the WH Connect link in their GHL sub-account, chooses a plan, pays with their credit card, and connects their WhatsApp number via QR code. You don't need to touch anything.
The subscription, billing, and WhatsApp connection are all automated. You just collect the markup every month.
Scaling to 50+ sub-accounts
WH Connect's Unlimited plan lets you connect unlimited WhatsApp numbers. As your agency grows, your WhatsApp revenue grows with it — without additional work from your side.
Agencies scaling past 50 sub-accounts typically earn €2,000-5,000/month in WhatsApp markup alone. Combined with your GHL SaaS subscription revenue, WhatsApp becomes one of your most profitable add-on services.
