Frequently Asked Questions
We're here to answer all your questions
Is the WhatsApp Business API free?
No, the Official WhatsApp API is a paid service. Unlike the free mobile app, the API allows for bulk messaging and automation, which comes with a cost. The GreenTick Difference: While you must pay Meta for conversations, GreenTick charges very low markup on these fees. You only pay a flat software subscription, making us the most affordable option in the market.
How does WhatsApp API Pricing actually work?
WhatsApp Business API follows a conversation-based pricing model set by Meta. You are charged per 24-hour conversation window, and rates vary depending on the conversation category – marketing, utility, authentication, or service. Some BSP providers also add a markup on top of Meta’s base rates. For a full breakdown of how this works and what to watch out for, read our WhatsApp Business API Pricing guide.
Can I use a WhatsApp Chrome Extension for bulk sending?
We strongly advise against this. Chrome extensions are unofficial tools that violate WhatsApp’s Terms of Service. Using them for bulk messaging is the #1 reason businesses get their numbers permanently banned. GreenTick uses the Official Cloud API, which safeguards your number from bans.
How do I get started with WhatsApp Business API?
Getting started is simple – you just need a business phone number and a Meta Business account. We handle the rest. For a full step-by-step walkthrough, visit our Get WhatsApp Business API guide.
How do I get a WhatsApp Link (URL) for my business?
A WhatsApp link allows customers to message you by clicking a URL instead of saving your number. GreenTick includes a Free WhatsApp Link Generator inside the dashboard. You can create custom links (e.g., wa.me/yourbrand) and place them on your Instagram, Website, or Ads to drive traffic instantly to the chat.
Is there an API for WhatsApp integration with my CRM?
Yes! In future, GreenTick will be providing robust API endpoints and native integrations. You will be able to connect WhatsApp to Shopify, WooCommerce, HubSpot, Salesforce, and more. This will allow you to automatically trigger messages (like Order Confirmations or Payment Reminders) based on customer actions in your other software.
How do I get the "Green Tick" Verification badge?
The “Green Tick” is an official badge of authenticity granted by Meta. While no software can guarantee it, GreenTick (the company) helps you maximize your chances. We guide you through the application process, ensuring your display name and brand press coverage meet Meta’s strict verification criteria.
What is the difference between the WhatsApp Business App and the API?
Business App: Free, designed for small owners, works on one phone, manual messaging.
WhatsApp API (GreenTick): Designed for scale. Supports unlimited agents, bulk broadcasts to 100k+ users, automated chatbots, and 0% markup fees.
Will my number get banned for sending bulk messages?
Not with GreenTick. Unlike dangerous Chrome extensions or unofficial bulk senders, we use the Official WhatsApp Cloud API. This ensures 100% compliance with Meta’s policies, protecting your brand reputation and phone number.
Can I use my existing WhatsApp phone number?
Yes! You can migrate your current WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business App number to GreenTick. You will simply need to delete the account from the mobile app during the setup process, and our system will onboard it to the API in about 5 minutes.
Do I need a developer to set this up?
Absolutely not. GreenTick is built for founders and marketers, not coders. You get a clean, user-friendly dashboard to manage broadcasts, automated flows, and customer support. If you can use email marketing tools, you can use GreenTick.
Is the "Green Tick" verification guaranteed?
The “Green Tick” badge is granted solely by Meta based on your brand’s press presence and authority. However, as an official partner, we help you prepare your application and submit it correctly to give you the highest possible chance of approval.
