WhatsApp Connection Readiness Checker

Before You Apply

Why This Checker Matters

Meta Business Verification and WhatsApp phone number onboarding are related, but they are not the same thing. You may be ready for Meta Business Verification while still needing access to the WhatsApp number before the number can be connected.

Business Verification

Checks whether your business is legitimate, documented, and properly represented.

Current Number Usage

How your number is currently used determines whether standard Cloud API, Coexistence, or another connection is appropriate.

Three Connection Options

WebWMS2U supports standard Meta Cloud API, Coexistence with the WhatsApp Business app, and Personal Device Connection.

Important disclaimer: This checker is only a guide. WebWMS2U can assist with setup and onboarding, but Meta Business Verification approval is decided by Meta. Availability and approval are decided by Meta, and not every account or number is necessarily eligible for Coexistence. WebWMS2U cannot guarantee verification or onboarding approval.

What You Need

Basic Documents and Information

Before starting Meta onboarding, prepare the following information.

For Registered Businesses

SSM or company registration document
Legal business name
Business registration number
Business address
Website or official online presence
Access to the WhatsApp phone number for setup
The number’s current WhatsApp registration status
For Coexistence, access to the active WhatsApp Business app

For Agents Under Another Company

Confirm whether the company owns the Meta Business account
Check if you are authorised to use the company’s business identity
Avoid applying using only a personal or team name
