data-start=\"2420\" data-end=\"2490\">To activate WhatsApp API, business verification is generally required.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2492\" data-end=\"2512\">Common requirements:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2513\" data-end=\"2647\">\n<li data-start=\"2513\" data-end=\"2528\">Business name<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2529\" data-end=\"2538\">Website<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2539\"

data-end=\"3028\">Step 5: Register a Dedicated Business Phone Number<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3030\" data-end=\"3082\">Choose a phone number specifically for WhatsApp API.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3084\" data-end=\"3100\">Important rules:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3101\" data-end=\"3248\">\n<li data-start=\"3101\" data-end=\"3124\">Number must be active<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3125\" data-end=\"3216\">It should not already be linked to a personal WhatsApp account (unless migrated properly)<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3217\" data-end=\"3248\">Prefer a business-only number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3250\" data-end=\"3315\">This number becomes your official customer communication channel.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3317\" data-end=\"3320\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"3322\" data-end=\"3357\">Step 6: Verify Your Phone Number<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3359\" data-end=\"3426\">Meta will verify your business phone number using OTP verification.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3428\" data-end=\"3436\">Process:<\/p>\n<ol data-start=\"3437\" data-end=\"3521\">\n<li data-start=\"3437\" data-end=\"3458\">Enter phone number<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3459\" data-end=\"3494\">Choose SMS or

data-end=\"3889\">Step 8: Configure Messaging Templates<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3891\" data-end=\"3972\">WhatsApp requires pre-approved templates for certain business-initiated messages.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3974\" data-end=\"3983\">Examples:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3984\" data-end=\"4126\">\n<li data-start=\"3984\" data-end=\"4004\">Order confirmation<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4005\"

your team handles customer communication, enable shared access.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4952\" data-end=\"4963\">This helps:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"4964\" data-end=\"5028\">\n<li data-start=\"4964\"
