To set up WhatsApp Business for customer inquiries, install the free-to-download app, verify a phone number, complete a useful business profile, and configure greeting and away messages. You can add a catalog for customers to browse and link additional devices if more than one person needs to respond. Menu names can vary by app version and platform; if a path differs, update the app and look for the equivalent setting.

Before you set up WhatsApp Business

WhatsApp Business is a separate app for Android and iPhone. You need a phone number you can verify. The same number cannot be active in WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business at the same time. If you already use that number in Messenger, WhatsApp says you can migrate the account, including its chat history and media. Review the terms and any regional privacy policy shown during setup before continuing. WhatsApp Business overview · WhatsApp Business app download and setup

How do I set up WhatsApp Business for my small business?

  1. Choose the number and app. Decide whether to move an existing Messenger account or register a different number. Download WhatsApp Business from your device’s app store.
  2. Verify the number. Open the app, accept its terms, and follow the prompts to verify the phone number. If you are moving an existing account, follow the migration instructions in the app.
  3. Create the profile. Follow the in-app profile flow. WhatsApp’s setup instructions include a business name, up to three categories, business hours, and a profile photo. Address, website, and description fields may also be available and can be added later.
  4. Check the public details. Make sure the name and contact information are accurate before customers rely on them. Screens and labels can differ between iPhone and Android and may change after an update. See WhatsApp’s setup instructions

What should I put in my business profile?

Use the profile to answer the questions a new customer is likely to ask before sending a message. WhatsApp’s business profile guidance covers details such as name, category, description, hours, contact information, and website. Add an address only if it is appropriate for your business; if you serve customers at their locations or online, use suitable service-area details instead of suggesting that visitors can come to an office that does not receive them.

  • Name and category: Use the name customers recognize and the most relevant category or categories.
  • Description: Briefly explain what you offer and who you serve.
  • Hours: Keep these aligned with the times you actually monitor inquiries. They can inform customers and support after-hours message scheduling.
  • Contact details: Add an email, website, address, or service information where relevant and accurate.
  • Profile photo: Choose an image that customers can recognize, such as your business logo.

WhatsApp recommends keeping business profile information complete and accurate so customers can find basic details, including hours. About your business profile · How to edit your business profile

How can I automatically reply to customers on WhatsApp Business?

WhatsApp Business offers greeting messages for certain new or returning conversations and away messages for times you are unavailable. They are useful for setting expectations, but they do not replace a person answering the customer’s question.

Set a greeting message

  1. In WhatsApp Business, open Tools > Greeting message.
  2. Turn on the greeting message and edit its text.
  3. Choose who should receive it, then save.

WhatsApp says the greeting is sent to customers who message you for the first time or after 14 days of inactivity in the chat. The device needs an active internet connection to send it. Greeting messages are automatically disabled if Meta Business Agent is connected. How to use greeting messages

Choose a setup that fits your inquiry workflow

The WhatsApp Business app is a practical starting point for a small business setting up a profile and handling customer conversations. WhatsApp points businesses seeking an enhanced business experience toward the WhatsApp Business Platform, but the information cited here does not establish its current technical requirements, pricing, or eligibility. Avoid choosing a platform based on assumptions about those details; check WhatsApp’s current information for your business and region.

  • One person handling inquiries: Start with one verified number, a complete profile, and messages that reflect your actual availability.
  • Several people or devices involved: Consider whether linked devices are sufficient for your workflow and whether a subscription-dependent option is available to you.
  • Customers need to compare offerings: Add a catalog and allow time for review before directing customers to its listings.
  • You need work and personal conversations separated: Decide whether a separate business number is worth managing. WhatsApp’s setup guidance does not require buying a separate phone or prescribe a device model.
