What is Facebook Business Verification?

Facebook Business Verification is the process of verifying a Facebook Business Manager account to confirm that it belongs to a legitimate organization. Your business must be registered with local authorities and have an official phone number and postal address.

Why do I need to be Facebook Business verified in order to use Charles?

Without getting your Facebook Business verified, you won't have complete access to the WhatsApp API. You'd only have limited access in which you will be in a 30 day trial period. Thus, we require all customers to be verified to use Charles. The Admin of the Business Account has to go through this process within the Facebook Business Manager

🚨Keep in mind that Facebook Business Verification differs from Facebook Business Page Verification. Refer to the image below to understand the difference.
