WhatsApp Business API FAQs
Clear answers to the questions businesses ask most before applying for the WhatsApp API.
What is the WhatsApp Business API?
The WhatsApp Business API is Meta's official interface that lets medium and large businesses send and receive WhatsApp messages at scale. It has no app interface of its own, so businesses use it through an approved provider such as Messagedly, which sets up the Business API for your own number and gives your team a dashboard to work from.
Is the WhatsApp Business API free?
Access to the WhatsApp Business API depends on your provider's plan, and Meta charges separately for template messages based on the message category and the recipient's country. Replies inside the 24-hour customer service window are generally free. Messagedly keeps its pricing transparent with no hidden charges, and you can check Meta's current rate card and the Messagedly pricing page for exact figures.

What is the difference between the WhatsApp Business App and the WhatsApp Business API?
The WhatsApp Business App is a free app for small businesses with limited linked devices and basic quick replies. The WhatsApp Business API is built for higher message volumes, unlimited agents, approved template messages, clickable buttons, analytics and integrations. Messagedly gives you the dashboard to use the Business API without writing code.
Which businesses should use the WhatsApp API?
The WhatsApp API suits any business that talks to many customers, including e-commerce, education, banking and fintech, healthcare, real estate, automobile and travel companies. If you are outgrowing the regular app or need several agents on one number, Messagedly can help you move to the Business API.
Can I use the WhatsApp Business App and the API on the same number?
In many cases, yes, through WhatsApp's coexistence option. Availability depends on your region and account setup, so contact the Messagedly support team to confirm the safest way to run both.
Can multiple team members use one WhatsApp API number?
Yes. With Messagedly your team can log in from mobile, PC or tablet and reply from the same business number. The number of agents depends on your plan.
What do I need to apply for the WhatsApp Business API?
You need a business website, a Facebook Business Manager account and a phone number that can receive a verification code. If the number is already registered on WhatsApp, ask Messagedly about the safest way to migrate it before you apply.
How long does WhatsApp Business API approval take?
Timelines depend on Meta's checks for your business and display name. Because Messagedly handles the WhatsApp Business Account setup and guides you through each step, most of the process is straightforward, though Meta's review time can vary.
How can I get the Green Tick on WhatsApp?
The Green Tick is a verified badge that Meta grants after reviewing your business, and approval is at Meta's discretion. Messagedly helps you apply for it once your official WhatsApp Business API account is live.
Can I go back to the regular WhatsApp Business App later?
Yes. A number can be moved from the WhatsApp Business API back to the regular app. Contact the Messagedly support team for the exact steps for your account.
