Whatsapp activation number requirements

To successfully activate your number using the WhatsApp Cloud API, you’ll need to prepare the following:

1. Website Requirements

• Your website must include two essential pages:
  ✅ Privacy Policy (Clearly outline data usage)
  ✅ Terms and Conditions (Specify service rules)

2. Phone Number Setup

• No existing WhatsApp account: Ensure your number isn’t linked to any active WhatsApp account. If it is, delete it first.
• SIM card ready: The number must be active in a phone to receive the OTP verification code.

3. Meta Business Account

• Create a Meta Business Account (formerly Facebook Business Manager).

4. Payment Method

• A valid credit/debit card or PayPal account for API subscription payments.

5. Device Compatibility

• Use a laptop/desktop (not a mobile device) for smoother setup.

Why These Steps Matter

• Website pages → Required for WhatsApp Cloud API compliance.
• Clean phone number → Avoids verification conflicts.
• Meta Business Account → Centralized management for WhatsApp services.
• Laptop recommended → Easier navigation during configuration.
