WhatsApp Business API onboarding: checklist to production

Structured onboarding cuts delays. Prepare corporate documents, dedicated numbers and a template plan before opening real traffic.

Business verification and brand assets

Align legal names and domains with Meta requirements; complete linked profiles to avoid unnecessary holds.

Phone numbers and quality

Prefer stable numbers; monitor quality ratings and user reports. Respond quickly to maintain health.

Initial template plan

Line up must-have templates (welcome, OTP, order updates) and submit early for approval.

Controlled go-live

Start with low volume, watch API and webhook errors, then scale. Train support on updated scripts.
