WhatsApp Business API Setup

Onboarded onto the official API without the three-week guessing game.

From
₹28,000
Timeline
3–10 days, depending on Meta

Meta's onboarding is genuinely confusing: business verification, display-name rules, number migration, template categories and messaging limits all interact, and a rejection can cost you weeks.

We've done it enough times to know which document Meta wants and which display names get rejected. Most clients are live within a week.

Scope

What we build

  • Facebook Business Manager setup and business verification
  • Provider selection — Meta Cloud API direct or an Indian BSP
  • Number provisioning or migration from consumer WhatsApp
  • Display name compliance review before submission
  • Green tick (Official Business Account) application
  • Template creation across marketing, utility and authentication categories
  • Messaging-limit tier progression
  • Quality-rating monitoring and remediation
In practice

Examples of this work

Concrete builds rather than capability statements.

Number migration without losing customers

An existing WhatsApp Business App number can move to the API, so you keep the number customers already have saved. The trade-off is that chat history on that device is deleted — we plan the switch for a quiet window.

Recovering a rejected verification

The usual cause is a name mismatch — the registered name on the utility bill not matching the GST certificate, or a display name Meta won't accept. We identify which check failed and resubmit with documents that agree.

FAQ

WhatsApp API setup — questions we get asked

Can we keep our existing WhatsApp number?

Yes, but migrating deletes the chat history on that device and the number can't be used in the consumer app afterwards. We plan the switch for a quiet window and notify frequent contacts first.

How long does the green tick take?

It's discretionary and Meta rejects most first applications. It helps to have genuine press coverage and an established brand presence. We'll advise honestly whether you're likely to qualify before spending your time on it.
