Visibility and permissions
Who can access this section
The Company billing information section is restricted and visible only to users with the following roles:

Billing Manager
Login behavior
If your billing profile is missing tax information, a pop-up will appear when an Administrator or Billing Manager logs in.
The pop-up asks you to select whether you are registering as an Individual or a Business.
If you select Business, you'll be redirected to the Billing Information page to provide your company name, billing address, and tax registration details (such as your GST or VAT registration number, where applicable).
Is this mandatory?
If you're using Wati for a registered business in a jurisdiction where GST or VAT applies, we strongly recommend updating your billing information.
Note: If your organization is a non-revenue-generating entity and does not have a GST number, enter N/A in the GST ID field under Billing Information in your Wati account.
