WhatsApp Business API Setup & Green-Tick Verification
The WhatsApp Business API is the official, verified way for a business to send broadcasts, run automation and connect WhatsApp to your CRM, far beyond the free WhatsApp Business app. We handle the full setup: Meta business verification, WhatsApp Business Account creation, display-name approval, number migration and verification (the grey tick most businesses qualify for, plus the green-tick application for eligible brands). It is the foundation every other WhatsApp service is built on.

Why you need the API, not just the WhatsApp Business app
The free WhatsApp Business app is fine for a one-person shop replying by hand, but it can't broadcast to large opt-in lists, automate flows, connect to your CRM, or support a team answering from one number. The WhatsApp Business API does all of that, officially. It's how serious businesses send appointment reminders, run drip campaigns, recover abandoned carts and qualify leads automatically, all from a verified account that won't get blocked for 'spam-like' behaviour the way unofficial bulk-sender tools do.
Getting onto the API involves several steps people often get stuck on: verifying your business with Meta, creating a WhatsApp Business Account on an official provider, getting your display name approved, and verifying the number. We handle the whole process and set it up on the right platform for your needs, so you start clean and compliant.
- Broadcast to opt-in lists, automate flows, connect your CRM
- Let a whole team answer from one verified business number
- Stay safe: official API, never a banned grey-market sender

WhatsApp Business app vs the official Business API.
Green tick vs grey tick — what's realistic?
There are two kinds of verification. The grey tick means your approved display name shows in chats, which gives customers a branded, trustworthy experience, and almost every business qualifies for it. The green tick (the 'Official Business Account' badge) is reserved by Meta for notable, well-known brands and is approved at Meta's discretion, so we set honest expectations rather than promising it. For nearly all SMBs, a verified display name with the grey tick is exactly what's needed to look professional and message at scale. For eligible brands we prepare and submit the green-tick application properly to give it the best chance.
WhatsApp Business API — FAQs
What's the difference between the WhatsApp Business app and the API?
The free app suits one person replying manually. The official API adds bulk broadcasts, automation, CRM integration and multi-agent support from one verified number, everything a growing business needs, without the ban risk of unofficial bulk tools.
Can my business get the green tick?
The green tick is reserved by Meta for notable, well-known brands and isn't guaranteed. Almost every business qualifies for the grey tick (verified display name), which gives a branded, trusted chat experience. We set honest expectations and apply for green-tick where you're eligible.
Will I lose my existing WhatsApp number or chats?
We migrate your existing number to the API cleanly. Note that the API uses a connected platform rather than the phone app, so we plan the move with you to keep your business continuity intact.
Is bulk messaging on the official API safe from bans?
Yes, when done correctly with opt-in lists and approved templates. The official API is built for business volume. The bans you hear about come from unofficial grey-market bulk-sender apps, which we never use.
How much does WhatsApp Business API setup cost?
Setup is a one-time onboarding, and ongoing use has platform and per-conversation costs set by Meta. We price the setup and management per project. Get a free quote for your business.
I just want a proper WhatsApp for my business, can you set that up?
Yes. We set up an official, verified business WhatsApp with your name and branding, so you can message customers, send updates and let a whole team reply from one number, all the safe, approved way.
Which BSP do you onboard on, and do you handle WABA, template approval and webhooks?
We onboard on the right BSP for you (AiSensy, Interakt, Gallabox, WATI or Gupshup), handle Meta business verification, WABA setup, display-name and message-template approval, and wire up webhooks and CRM or API integration.
