It ensures that your business profile is recognized as legitimate, unlocking full access to WhatsApp Business API features.
What is WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification?
WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification is a process that verifies a business profile on WhatsApp, ensuring that it is a legitimate, authorized business. The blue tick badge appears next to the business name on the profile, signifying authenticity to customers. This is particularly important for businesses using the WhatsApp Business API to build trust with their customers.
How can my business get WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification?
To get WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification, your business must apply through WhatsApp's Business Verification process. This involves submitting details such as your business name, phone number, website, and proof of identity. After submitting your application, WhatsApp will review your submission and verify your account, granting you the blue tick if approved.
Is WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification mandatory for using the WhatsApp Business API?
No, you can use the WhatsApp Business API without the Blue Tick, but it’s highly recommended to apply for it. Without the Blue Tick, your business will have limited features and reduced trust with customers. The Blue Tick ensures that your messages are perceived as coming from a verified, authentic source, which is crucial for customer engagement and trust.
How long does it take for WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification to be approved?
The WhatsApp Business Blue Tick Verification process usually takes anywhere from 2 to 7 days. This can vary depending on the accuracy of the information you provide and WhatsApp's review process. Once your business profile is verified, you’ll be granted access to the full features of WhatsApp Business API, including the Blue Tick.
Can my WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification be revoked?
Yes, WhatsApp can revoke the Blue Tick verification if they find that the business no longer meets their verification criteria. This could happen if there are issues such as policy violations, changes in the business name, or misrepresentation of business details. It’s important to keep your profile and business information up to date to avoid any issues with the verification.
Does a business need to be a registered company to get WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification?
While it’s not mandatory for the business to be a registered company, having legitimate business documentation can help with the verification process. WhatsApp generally requires that the business be legally established, and providing proof of business registration may improve the chances of approval.
Can a business get verified if it's a small or new business?
Yes, even small or new businesses can get verified, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements. However, businesses with established presence or significant activity tend to have a higher chance of approval.
What happens if my WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification request is rejected?
If your application for WhatsApp Blue Tick verification is rejected, you will be notified with the reason for rejection. Common reasons for rejection include incomplete business profiles, incorrect documentation, or failure to meet WhatsApp's guidelines for verified businesses. You can reapply after resolving the issues.
How do I appeal or reapply after a WhatsApp Blue Tick verification rejection?
If your verification request is rejected, you can make necessary corrections to your business profile or submit missing documents and reapply. Make sure your Facebook Business Manager profile is complete and up to date before reapplying.
