In order to begin using WhatsApp Business API and noApp we need to get a few things ready beforehand:

1. A phone number capable of receiving calls or SMS

Buying a new number is the easiest and recommended way to get started with noApp as this number is not yet associated with a WhatsApp account. This means that you'll be able to use it right away.

💡 Make sure that the number you buy is capable of receiving voice calls or SMS, this is required for the verification process.

Here are other phone numbers you may be tempted to use. Click on them to read the details.

2. Access to a Meta Business Manager Account (or Meta Business Suite), formerly Facebook Business

One of the key things you need in order to get started is having a Meta Business account (formerly Facebook Business). We'll guide you in the process of creating one, however if you already have one and wish to use that one instead feel free to skip this step.

3. A domain name, a website with a privacy policy and a branded email (e.g. [email protected])

Make sure your legal business name is present anywhere on the website. Preferred to have it in footer, or privacy policy page.
