I don’t have any official documents, to use WhatsApp Business API

Vijay

Hey,

I’m interested in using WhatsApp Business API for my business, but I don’t have any official documents.

Can I still get started?

You can start even without GST or PAN, but there are some limits.

250 messages per day: This is the basic limit for sending messages daily, if you didn’t have these
certificates

Vijay

That's great. the message limit will be same for lifetime?

No, If Meta sees that you're sending useful, non-spammy messages, your daily limit will automatically increase over time — you don’t even have to apply for it.

Just make sure:

You're only messaging customers who know your business
You use approved templates
You avoid spammy or overly promotional content

So yes, you can go live even now, and your account will grow as you use it responsibly

Vijay

Ohh okay, that makes sense.

So if I start sending messages to my regular customers with proper templates, the limit will go up on its own?

Yes, exactly

As long as you follow those basic guidelines, WhatsApp will automatically monitor your usage and gradually increase your limit.

Vijay

Can you let me know how it will work?

newdata

Step 1: Start with 250 messages/day
This is the basic limit if you haven’t submitted business documents yet.

Step 2: Send messages consistently
Start sending to your regular customers using approved templates

Step 3: Keep your message quality high
Avoid spammy messages. If customers respond, don’t block you, and you keep a good quality rating — Meta sees that you’re a trustworthy sender.

Step 4: Automatic Upgrade
Meta can increase your limit from 250 → 1,000 users/day.
And after that, it may go up to 10,000 or more depending on your performance.

Vijay

Okay, understood
