How do I get the WhatsApp green tick (verified business account)?
The green tick (official business account badge) isn't something you buy — Meta grants it based on brand notability and policy compliance, and you can only apply once you're on the official WhatsApp Business API through an approved provider. Unofficial or "WhatsApp Business app" setups can't get it.
Practically, that means: get onto the official API, verify your Meta Business Manager, maintain a good message quality rating, then submit the green-tick request. Providers like GetGabs run on the official API and help you apply as part of onboarding — https://saaskart.co/software/getgabs.
Meta doesn't guarantee approval, and notability (press coverage, public presence) is a big factor. Has anyone here been approved recently — how long did it take, and what tipped it over the line?
