Frequently asked questions
What is the WhatsApp Business API?
The WhatsApp Business API (Cloud API) is Meta's official interface for medium and large businesses to send and receive WhatsApp messages at scale — for notifications, customer support, and marketing. Unlike the WhatsApp Business app, it supports whole teams on one number, automation, and integrations.
How long does onboarding take with InfiQ?
Most businesses are live within 2 hours. As an official Meta Business Partner, InfiQ handles Facebook Business verification, phone-number registration, and display-name approval for you.
Do I need a new phone number?
You need a phone number that is not currently registered on the WhatsApp consumer or Business app. A landline or virtual number works — it only needs to receive one verification call or SMS.
How is WhatsApp API pricing structured?
WhatsApp messaging is billed by category (marketing, utility, authentication) with rates varying by the customer's country. With InfiQ you pay a platform subscription plus messaging charges — the live rate card in your dashboard shows the exact rate before you send.
Can I get the green tick (verified badge)?
Yes. InfiQ submits green-tick verification requests on your behalf. Approval is at Meta's discretion and favours well-known brands with clean business verification.
