Additionally, they will verify whether you have authorized access to the business or website domain.\n\nWhile not all businesses need verification on Facebook, verification may be required to access certain features or display business information to users. For example:\n\nWhatsApp Business: When creating a WhatsApp Business account, business verification will be required.Weni, as an official Meta Business Partner (BPS), enables the business verification button for your company after the number integration. (It’s important to remember that Business Verification is the document verification process, not related to the Official Account Badge).\n\n## How to access Business Manager\n\n- Access the Business Manager as an administrator via this link: \\[https://business.facebook.com/settings/](https://business.facebook.com/settings/)\n- \\- Select the business account to be used.\n- \\- Follow the steps below to complete business verification.\n\n![](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/vtexdocs/help-center-content/refs/heads/main/docs/en/tutorials/weni-by-vtex/integrations/whatsapp-bussiness-api-how-to-verify-my-business_1.png)\n\n### Step 1\n\nClick on **WhatsApp Accounts** and select the account you want to verify.\n\n![](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/vtexdocs/help-center-content/refs/heads/main/docs/en/tutorials/weni-by-vtex/integrations/whatsapp-bussiness-api-how-to-verify-my-business_2.png)\n\nThe status is displayed when you select the account to be verified:\n\n![](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/vtexdocs/help-center-content/refs/heads/main/docs/en/tutorials/weni-by-vtex/integrations/whatsapp-bussiness-api-how-to-verify-my-business_3.png)\n\nClick on **Start Verification**, and a new window will open.\n\n![](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/vtexdocs/help-center-content/refs/heads/main/docs/en/tutorials/weni-by-vtex/integrations/whatsapp-bussiness-api-how-to-verify-my-business_4.png)\n\nHere are some important links for the Business Verification process:\n\n[Verify Your Business in Business Manager](https://www.facebook.com/business/help/2058515294227817?id=180505742745347)\n\n[Upload Official Documents to Verify Your Business](https://www.facebook.com/business/help/159334372093366)\n\n### Step 2\n\nIf you have already integrated your number into our platform via the **Integrations Menu \\> My Apps** or if the link between your Meta Business and Weni has been accepted, the **Start Verification** button will be available for you in the new page opened through **View Details**.\n\n![](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/vtexdocs/help-center-content/refs/heads/main/docs/en/tutorials/weni-by-vtex/integrations/whatsapp-bussiness-api-how-to-verify-my-business_5.png)\n\n### Step 3\n\nFollow Meta’s instructions carefully, read the requirements thoroughly, and enter the information that matches your company documentation/tax ID (CNPJ) or as requested by Meta.\n\nAt this stage, the official documents required for business validation will be requested. The accepted official documents are listed here.\n\n**Important**:\n\n- The company information must match the documents exactly;\n- Check that the company data suggested by Meta is up-to-date;\n- The phone number provided must be available to receive official calls, and this should be the number registered in the CNPJ;\n- If you choose the email option, it’s important to use a personal corporate email like **name@company.com**;\n- If using the Meta TAG method, follow the instructions carefully.\n\nFailure to comply with these requirements will prevent the verification code from being sent to the company.\n\nNow, just wait for the review, and your company will receive verification approval, which typically takes around 2 business days. In case of rejection, identify the issues and try again."}
