Why do I need a Facebook Business Manager ID when I apply for a WhatsApp Business Platform Account?

WhatsApp requires a Facebook Business Manager ID as part of the application process for a WhatsApp Business Account. Without a valid Facebook Business Manager ID, WhatsApp will not approve your Business Account application.

Facebook Business Manager ID is a 16-digit number that uniquely identifies your business with Facebook.

How  to find your Facebook Business Manager ID:

  • Log into your Facebook Business Manager account
  • Go to Business Settings
  • Click Business Info
  • Below Business Manager info, you will see your Facebook Business Manager ID
