WhatsApp Business Account - Accelerated Onboarding

Traditional WhatsApp Business verification can take up to 14 to 21 business days – that's nearly three weeks of missed customer conversations. With Accelerated Onboarding, you can get your WhatsApp Business account verified and start messaging customers in as little as 5 minutes to 24 hours.

What is Accelerated Onboarding?

Accelerated Onboarding is WhatsApp's fast-track verification process designed specifically for businesses that want to start communicating with customers immediately. Instead of waiting weeks for Meta's standard review, this streamlined process gets you up and running quickly.

Perfect for businesses that:

• Need to start WhatsApp messaging urgently
• Don't have an extensive website or online presence yet
• Want to focus specifically on WhatsApp (not Instagram or Facebook)- Are tired of waiting in Meta's standard verification queue

Immediate Benefits:

• Messaging limit jumps to 1,000 messages/day (from the standard 250)
• Scale to 20 phone numbers per business account
• Display your business name in customer chats immediately
• No website requirement — we validate business legitimacy manually
• Approval in 5 minutes to 24 hours (vs. weeks with traditional verification)

Think of it as the express lane for serious businesses that can't afford to wait weeks while competitors capture market share.

What You Need: The Complete Document Checklist

Critical requirement: All information in your Meta Business Manager and WhatsApp Business Account must match your documentation exactly. Any discrepancy will cause delays or rejection.

Essential Documents

1. Company Registration Documents

• Certificate of Incorporation
• Articles of Association
• Any official government registration document proving your company exists

2. Proof of Business Activity (within last 2 months)

• Utility bill showing the company address
• Bank statement with business transactions
• Tax filing or government correspondence
• Insurance documents

3. Business Manager Requirements

• Valid Meta Business Manager account with complete business information
• Business address matches your registration documents
• Authorised personnel with admin access to approve 360dialog permissions

Document Quality Standards

• All documents must be clear, legible scans or PDFs
• No mobile phone photos of documents
• Documents must be in English or include certified translations
• All information must be current (registration documents can be older, but activity proof must be recent)

The Accelerated Process: What Happens Next

1. Document Submission: Submit your complete document package through ZEPIC's support channel. Our team performs initial validation to ensure Meta compliance.
2. ZEPIC & 360dialog Validation: Our verification specialists review your documents against Meta's requirements. This typically takes 2-6 hours during business hours.
3. Meta Submission Once approved by ZEPIC & 360dialog, your request goes directly to Meta through our Premium Partner channel for expedited review.
4. Activation: You'll receive a webhook notification confirming your increased messaging limits and display name approval. Your business can immediately start messaging at scale.

Important Limitations to Understand

• No Green Badge Eligibility: Accelerated onboarding doesn't qualify you for the Official Business Account (OBA) green verification badge. For that prestigious green checkmark, you'd need traditional Meta Business Verification.
• WABA-Only Verification: This process only verifies your WhatsApp Business Account. Instagram and Facebook page verification require separate traditional processes.
• One-Time Opportunity: If rejected, you'll need to address Meta's feedback before resubmitting. Ensure documents are perfect the first time.

Pro Tips for Success

• Document Prep: Have your accountant or legal team review documents before submission. Missing details or inconsistencies are the #1 cause of delays.
• Business Manager Setup: Ensure your Meta Business Manager is fully configured with accurate business information before starting. Changes during verification can cause complications.
• Timing Strategy: Submit during business hours (Monday-Friday) for the fastest response times from both 360dialog and Meta review teams.

Expected Timeline

• Document review by 360dialog: 2-24 hours
• Meta approval: 5 minutes to 24 hours
• Total process: Under 12 hours in most cases

Compare this to traditional verification taking 3-4 weeks, and you'll understand why forward-thinking businesses choose ZEPIC's accelerated path.
