Product FAQ

Questions about Business Check

What does WhatsApp Business check?

It checks one phone number and returns registration status and whether the account is a WhatsApp Business account in the same synchronous response.

How much does Business Check cost?

Each completed check uses 2 credits. Failed or undetermined upstream requests do not keep the charge.

What phone number format is required?

Use E.164 format with the country code, for example +14155552671.

Does the response expose cache status?

No. Cache handling is internal and clients must not depend on a cached field.
