Is it necessary to add my card in Meta to use Verified WhatsApp?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And. <\/strong>Yes, if you plan to send messages (also known as template messages) via the WhatsApp Business API, adding a valid payment method is mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q. Do I need a GST number during the card adding process?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ans. <\/strong>Adding a GST number is optional, but recommended for businesses in India. If provided, GST invoices will be generated under your company\u2019s GST ID, which can help with tax input credits. If you don&#8217;t enter it, Meta will still charge you, but the invoice won\u2019t include your GST details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q. Can I start sending WhatsApp messages after adding my card in Meta?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ans. <\/strong>Yes, once your payment method is successfully added and your WhatsApp Business account is approved and verified, you can start sending messages\u2014especially template messages (like alerts, OTPs, etc.). However, if your number is still in review or the templates are not yet approved, you\u2019ll need to complete those steps first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To start the WhatsApp Business API, the user needs to add their card on their meta business accounts.
