What if your Facebook Business is not verified?

• You can still get access to ChatDaddy & WhatsApp Business API but with limited access.
• When your Facebook Business is not verified, you're subject to a few limitations:
  • You can send business-initiated messages to up to 50 contacts per 24 hours
  • You can add up to 2 numbers on WhatsApp Business API
• If the conversation is initiated by the user, you can send unlimited replies to those conversations without any limitations.

Will anything be free?

• The first 1000 conversation messages per calendar month will be free (Business or User Initiated).
• Conversations will not be charged when users message businesses using call-to-action buttons on Ads that click WhatsApp or a Facebook Page CTA. Free entry-point conversations can only be user-initiated.
• Incoming messages from end-users (user-initiated messages) will be free, until businesses reply to them.

How long does it take to get approved for WhatsApp Business APIs?

• Typically, businesses are approved for Green Tick Verification within 1-3 weeks.

WhatsApp Business APIs require you to be approved by WhatsApp Team. ChatDaddy is an Official Partner for WhatsApp Business Solutions, but we do not guarantee that a business will be approved by WhatsApp, as it is their decision.
