(For LandinChat– WhatsApp Business API)
A Meta Business Manager account is mandatory if you want to use the WhatsApp Business API with LandinChat.
Without a Business Manager:
- You cannot properly use WhatsApp Business API
- Messaging limits remain extremely low
- Business verification is impossible
This guide walks you through creating a Business Manager account correctly, so you don’t run into limits or verification issues later.
Why You Need a Business Manager Account #
A Meta Business Manager allows you to:
- Manage WhatsApp Business API assets
- Unlock higher messaging limits
- Verify your business with Meta
- Control users, permissions, and billing
- Run WhatsApp campaigns professionally
Without it, you’re stuck with restricted access.
Prerequisites (Have These Ready) #
Before you start, make sure you have:
- An active personal Facebook account
- A business email address (recommended, not Gmail/Yahoo)
- Basic business details (legal name, address, website)
Using fake or incomplete details will cause problems later.
Step-by-Step: Create Meta Business Manager Account #
Step 1: Start Registration #
- Visit:
https://business.facebook.com/create - Click Log in with Facebook
Step 2: Log in to Facebook #
- Use your personal Facebook account
- This account will become the admin of the Business Manager
⚠️ Use the account you intend to manage the business long-term.
Step 3: Enter Business Details #
Fill in:
- Business Name (legal or official name)
- Your Full Name
- Business Email Address
Make sure details are accurate. They matter during verification.
Step 4: Verify Your Email #
- Check your email inbox
- Click Confirm Now in the verification email
- Complete email verification
Without email verification, setup is incomplete.
Step 5: Access Business Settings #
Once verified:
- Open Business Settings
- Your Meta Business Manager is now created
- You’re ready for WhatsApp API setup and verification
Verification Comes Later (Important) #
Creating a Business Manager ≠ business verified.
Verification is a separate step and requires:
- Official business documents
- Matching business information
Do not rush verification until everything is ready.
Common Mistakes to Avoid #
- ❌ Using personal email instead of business email
- ❌ Creating multiple Business Managers for the same business
- ❌ Entering incorrect or fake business details
- ❌ Using a temporary Facebook account
These mistakes slow down WhatsApp API approval.
What to Do After Creating Business Manager #
Once your Business Manager is ready:
- Connect WhatsApp Business API using LandinChat
- Add payment method
- Verify your Meta Business Manager
- Start WhatsApp messaging and campaigns
Final Reminder #
Your Meta Business Manager is the foundation of everything:
- WhatsApp API
- Phone numbers
- Billing
- Verification
- Messaging limits
Set it up once, correctly.
