Summary
Simplified Partner-Led Business Verification (SPLBV) is a new way Wati helps you get verified on Meta faster and safer. With SPLBV, Wati handles the verification for you, so your account is less likely to be blocked during setup.
Instructions
Why SPLBV
Completing your business verification (BV) is an important step to fully activate your account.
Until your BV is complete, you won’t be able to:
Submit message templates for approval
Send broadcasts
That’s why you’ll see reminders on certain pages to help you finish verification and unlock these features.
How SPLBV helps you
Normally, Meta checks your account directly during business verification, which can sometimes result in delays or automatic bans for new accounts. With SPLBV:
Wati performs the verification on your behalf.
Meta trusts Wati’s verification, so some checks are skipped.
Your WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) stays “on hold” until verification is complete, reducing the risk of immediate bans.
Availability
This feature is available by request for accounts with high messaging volume. If your account handles a large number of messages and you need assistance with Meta Business Verification, please contact our support team by visiting our help center.
How to use SPLBV
The setup process is mostly the same as the regular Embedded Signup (ES). Here’s what to expect if you’re eligible:
Step 1: Check eligibility during signup
When you start the ES process, you’ll see SPLBV mentioned in Step 1 of the signup form.
Step 2: Connect your number
After connecting your WhatsApp number, you’ll see reminders to submit your verification documents to Wati. You can find these reminders on:
Quick Start page
Channel Status → Business Verification page
Templates page (go to Broadcasts > Template Messages > Your Templates)
Step 3: Submit your documents
Book a call with Wati.
During the call, we’ll guide you and collect the required documents.
Wati will submit the documents to Meta for verification.
What makes SPLBV different from regular verification
WABA creation: Only happens after your verification is approved.
Account safety: Reduced risk of immediate bans.
Timing: SPLBV must be enabled before starting your Embedded Signup.
Flexibility: Regular PLBV is still available if you’ve already completed ES and want Wati to submit documents on your behalf.
