Green tick (Official Business Account)

What the green tick requires, where to apply in Meta, and what PayPerWA checks for you in Settings → Green tick.

Last reviewed 21 October 2026

The green tick marks an Official Business Account. Meta grants it to notable brands; it is not a paid feature and PayPerWA cannot approve it for you.

What Meta looks for

  • Business verification completed in Meta Business Manager.
  • Two-step verification enabled on the number and a display name that matches the brand.
  • Notability: coverage in several independent news or industry publications. Paid or promotional articles do not count.

How to apply

  1. Open Dashboard → Settings → Green tick. PayPerWA checks the prerequisites it can see (verification, display name, two-step).
  2. In WhatsApp Manager open Phone numbers → your number → Profile → Official business account and submit the request with links to your coverage.
  3. Meta replies within a few days to a few weeks. Declined requests can be resubmitted after 30 days.
