Card Adding Process on Meta

To start the WhatsApp Business API, the user needs to add their card on their meta business accounts.

You can pay for messaging with a credit card via Visa or Mastercard. The meta currently doesn’t accept American Express or digital payments such as PayPal.

Note: When you set up the payment method, you may be required to provide your tax information as part of your business information.

FAQs

Q. What is the card adding process in Meta?

Ans. The card adding process in Meta involves entering your debit or credit card details to set up a payment method for your WhatsApp Business Account.

Q. Is it necessary to add my card in Meta to use Verified WhatsApp?

And. Yes, if you plan to send messages (also known as template messages) via the WhatsApp Business API, adding a valid payment method is mandatory.

Q. Do I need a GST number during the card adding process?

Ans. Adding a GST number is optional, but recommended for businesses in India. If provided, GST invoices will be generated under your company’s GST ID, which can help with tax input credits. If you don’t enter it, Meta will still charge you, but the invoice won’t include your GST details.

Ans. Yes, once your payment method is successfully added and your WhatsApp Business account is approved and verified, you can start sending messages—especially template messages (like alerts, OTPs, etc.). However, if your number is still in review or the templates are not yet approved, you’ll need to complete those steps first.
