My Website Is Still Under Construction, Can I start using the Platform?

Ritvik

Hi Team,

I want to use this WhatsApp software for my business.

But my website isn’t ready yet — we’re still working on it and it might take some time.
Can I still go ahead and use the API?

Hi Ritvik,

According to Meta’s rules, you do need an active website or at least a functioning landing page that clearly shows your business details and is on your own domain. It helps establish credibility during setup

Ritvik

So no website, no API?

newdata

Meta checks for a public online presence.

A simple landing page with your business name, your logo, contact details, and a short description can be enough as a temporary solution

Ritvik

What happens if I skip it and try to apply?

newdata

They will ask for website, without that you can't proceed

Ritvik

Got it. So I could put up a landing page now and then update to a full website later?

newdata

Exactly!

A light, professional page will help you get through setup smoothly. Once everything is live, you can upgrade to a full site without affecting your API access.

Ritvik

Alright, that makes sense.

I’ll ask my team to put up a quick landing page with our business info.
Once that’s live, I’ll get back to you.
