Step One

Create a Meta Developer App & WhatsApp Product

If you already have a Meta Developer App, skip to Step 2. Otherwise, creating one takes under 2 minutes:

  1. Log into developers.facebook.com with your Facebook account.
  2. Click My Apps at the top right, then click Create App.
  3. Select Other > Business as your app use case, then choose an App Name (e.g. My Store WhatsApp).
  4. In the App Dashboard, find the WhatsApp product card and click Set up.
  5. Meta will automatically create your sandbox test environment and your official WhatsApp Business Account (WABA).

Adding your real business phone number: In Meta Developers under WhatsApp > API Setup, scroll down to Step 5: Add a phone number to register your official business SIM or landline number.

Step Two

Retrieve Phone Number ID & Permanent Access Token

You need three keys from Meta to link your line into wsp.business:

A. Copy Phone Number ID & WABA ID

In your Meta Developers Console, go to WhatsApp > API Setup:

  • Phone number ID: A 15-digit numeric string (e.g., 300162959853824).
  • WhatsApp Business Account ID (WABA ID): A 15-digit numeric string (e.g., 345805008597649).

B. Generate a Permanent System User Token

Note: The token shown on Meta's API Setup page is temporary and expires in 24 hours. For live production, generate a permanent token that never expires:

  1. Go to Meta Business Settings.
  2. In the left sidebar under Users, click System Users.
  3. Click Add, name your system user (e.g. wsp-admin), and assign the Admin role.
  4. Click Generate New Token, select your App, and set token expiration to Never.
  5. Check the two required permissions:
    • whatsapp_business_messaging
    • whatsapp_business_management
  6. Click Generate Token and copy the token string (starts with EAAB...).

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about
WhatsApp Cloud API?

Can I use an existing WhatsApp phone number?

Yes. You can use an existing mobile or landline number. If the number is currently registered on a personal WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business mobile app, you must delete that account within the app settings before Meta Cloud API can claim and activate it.

Does my smartphone need to stay connected to the internet?

No! Unlike unofficial QR-code scrapers that require your physical phone to remain switched on and online, the official Meta Cloud API operates 100% in the cloud. Your business messaging runs 24/7/365 without battery or phone dependency.

Can I connect multiple WhatsApp numbers to one WooCommerce store?

Yes. wsp.business is an omnichannel multi-number platform. You can connect multiple numbers (e.g. Sales, VIP Customer Care, Delivery Dispatch) and assign separate AI bot personas or human support team queues to each line.
