Next, either create a new WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) for your business or select an existing one.
Ensure that the business information you provide is accurate and visible to WhatsApp users.
If you already have a WhatsApp Business account, select it; if not, create a new one.
Set up your WhatsApp Business profile with information that will be visible to WhatsApp users.
Enter the mobile number you wish to connect, then verify it using the one-time password (OTP) sent to that number.
Allow some time for your WhatsApp Business instance to be prepared.
Once your instance is ready, authorize BizMagnets for integration, enabling seamless communication between your WhatsApp Channel and BizMagnets.
These numbers behave the same way as standard business phone numbers (display names must be reviewed and approved, subject to conversation-based pricing rules, impacted by quality ratings, etc.), with the following key differences:
Have a US country calling code (+1)
Have a 555 area code
Are verified automatically
Cannot be migrated to another WhatsApp Business Account, or used outside of the WhatsApp Business platform
If your business customers are eligible for 555 numbers and want to register one as an additional number, instruct them to go through your implementation of Embedded Signup again. When asked to select a business phone number, they will automatically be given the option to choose a 555 number:
Verified businesses and businesses that have had their Cloud API are eligible for up to two 555 business phone numbers.
