• WhatsApp Business API is an upgraded version of
  the existing WhatsApp Business App. Other than
  the security and reliability for businesses and
  customers that WhatsApp marketing brings, it also
  offers a spectrum of extra features, such as
  multiple logins, quick replies, chatbots, mass
  broadcasting, custom messages, and much more to
  support business sales in gaining more profit.
• However, there are some requirements your
  business must meet in order to get authorisation
  by WhatsApp API, and this blog aims to discuss
  those prerequisites in detail.

Requirements for WhatsApp Business API

• There are several prerequisites you must meet to
  smoothly operate your business account on
  WhatsApp API. These are as follows

• Meta Business Account

• A WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) allows your
  company to use the WhatsApp Business Portal to
  engage directly with its clients. WhatsApp uses a
  Business Account to verify the legitimacy of a
  brand for each account on the platform. If the
  account's administrator has completed Business
  Verification, the domain name of the business is
  displayed even if the user has not saved it to
  their address book. A Legitimate Business
  Account, on the contrary, displays a green check
  mark in its profile and conversation thread
  headings.

• Business Website or App

• You must create an app or website associated with
  your Meta Business Account, to provide all the
  necessary details about your business
  proceedings and related documentation.

• User Access Token

• API tokens are short snippets of code assembled
  to secure API access. API servers receive these
  diminutive strings, where the token acts as
  identification, verifying whether the user or the
  application has the credentials of the API.

5

• Permissions

• You will also need permissions that act as a form
  of granular, user-granted API authorization.
  Before the app can use endpoints to access any
  user's data, the user must give your app all
  permissions mandated by the said endpoint.

• Business Management

• The WhatsApp business management license allows
  your app to read and manage WhatsApp business
  assets you own or have access to, by other
  companies. These assets include WhatsApp business
  account information, phone numbers, statement
  templates, QR codes, and webhook subscriptions.

6

• Business Messaging

• The WhatsApp business messaging permission
  permits an app to transmit WhatsApp messages to a
  specified phone number, upload and recover media
  from messages, operate the WhatsApp business
  profile data, and register the phone numbers with
  WhatsApp Meta.

• Phone Number

• A new phone number on which WhatsApp Business API
  will function is necessary. A new number implies
  that you have not registered it on any WhatsApp
  App at the given moment.

Conclusion

• While the WhatsApp Business App supports small
  scale businesses with fundamental functions such
  as company profile integration, auto-replies,
  tags, and so on, the options are limited,
  particularly for those dealing with more clients
  and everyday inquiries. You need to fill out the
  application form on behalf of the company to get
  started with the registration process for
  WhatsApp Business API. The form includes basic
  details of the business and some specific entries
  related to the WhatsApp Business API. Once youre
  verified by WhatsApp Marketing API, youre all
  set!
