Tenants connect their WhatsApp Business Account through Meta's **Embedded Signup** flow, which runs on your Meta app. For that flow to work for the public, Meta must approve your business as a **Tech Provider** on the WhatsApp Business Platform. Once approved, you can: * Onboard businesses (your tenants) onto the WhatsApp Business Platform * Send and receive messages on behalf of your tenants * Manage message templates and phone numbers through the WhatsApp Business API Until your app is approved, Embedded Signup only works for people who hold a role on the app (admins, developers, testers). Complete this guide before you enable **Embedded Signup** in [Settings → Channels](/pa/channels#whatsapp). ## Before you start Make sure you have the following: | Requirement | Details | | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Registered business** | A legally registered business entity in your country. | | **Live domain** | The domain your platform runs on, with a public **Privacy Policy** page. | | **Meta Business Portfolio** | Also called Business Manager. You need **admin** access to it. | | **Business verification** | Company documents (registration certificate, utility bill, or similar) for Meta's business verification. | | **Two screen recordings** | Short videos of sending a message and creating a message template. See **Step 10**, Record videos for App Review. | ## Choose how to onboard Meta offers two ways to become a Tech Provider. Both require App Review. | Option | When to choose it | | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Independent Tech Provider** | You manage tenants yourself. **This is the usual choice for a reseller platform.** | | **Working with a Solution Partner** | You partner with a Meta Solution Partner. You need their **App ID** to create a partner solution. | ## Set up your Meta app Go to [Meta Business Suite](https://business.facebook.com) and sign in with your Facebook account.
