Meta Business Account Verification for WhatsApp

Meta Business Account Verification for WhatsApp

Why Verify Your Business Account?

Until your business is verified, you'll have limited use of WhatsApp. You will be limited to a maximum of 2 phone numbers and you will start with lower messaging limits.

Once verified, you'll be able to use WhatsApp's complete messaging capabilities.

Benefits of Verification

Scale Your Phone Numbers

• Remove the 2-phone number limit

• Add multiple numbers for different departments

Professional Display

• Show your business name instead of phone numbers

• Create professional customer experience

• Required to become eligible for an official WhatsApp business account

Scale Messages Faster

• Unverified businesses start at 250 conversations in a rolling 24-hour period

• To reach 1,000 conversations, unverified businesses must first send 1,000 delivered messages outside customer service windows to unique phone numbers in a 30-day moving period (using high quality templates) - taking a minimum of 4 days

• Verified businesses start at 1,000 conversations in a rolling 24-hour period

• Both can scale higher from there, but verified businesses start 4x higher
