Feature
WhatsApp Business API setup for small businesses, step by step
To send campaigns and run a chatbot you connect a number to the WhatsApp Business Platform. ClickCard gives you a guided checklist for the Meta side — developer account, app, number, token and webhook — and checks each value with Meta the moment you save it.

Recommended setup
- Create a Meta developer account and a business app.
- Add your WhatsApp number and copy its Phone Number ID and WABA ID.
- Create a system user and a permanent access token.
- Paste the three values into ClickCard and save.
- Set the callback URL and verify token in Meta, then send a test message.
Quality tips
Use a number that is not logged in to the WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app.
Use a permanent token from a system user so the connection does not expire.
Keep the Meta app in Live mode, or real customer messages will not arrive.
Frequently asked questions
No. The guide explains each step and each field; the first connection usually takes around fifteen minutes.
A number used with the Business Platform is handled through the platform, so plan to use ClickCard for that number. A separate number can stay on the phone app.
Press Check permissions on the number. It tests the token, its permissions, the account and the number, and says what to change.
