Updated: Nov 14, 2025
This document describes the steps Solution Partners must perform to onboard new business customers who have completed the Embedded Signup flow.

Also, if you wish to test messaging capabilities using the customer’s business phone number, you will need a WhatsApp phone number that can already send and receive messages from other WhatsApp numbers.
