How Does WhatsApp API Work?

Getting started is easy. Here’s how you can begin using our WhatsApp API:

Step 1: Download our mobile app on iOSor Android on the phone where your WhatsApp account is active. The app is designed to work seamlessly on both platforms.

Step 2: After installing the app, create a free account on your mobile device. Once registered, you will receive access codes to our dedicated dashboard.

Step 3: Navigate to the "WhatsApp Connect" menu in the dashboard to activate the service. A secure and fast connection process will link your WhatsApp account to our API.

Once connected, you can start sending messages via our API or through integrations like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Zapier. Enjoy the flexibility of using your personal number to communicate with customers on their preferred platform.
