WhatsApp Onboarding & Verification Terms

WhatsApp imposes reviews, such as Facebook business verification, to ensure the quality of businesses using WhatsApp products. These reviews are prerequisites to using the WhatsApp Business API and Wapify. WhatsApp also retains discretion to approve the Customer’s usage of WhatsApp products.
