Wish to become a WhatsApp partner for WhatsApp Business API?
If you're looking to become a WhatsApp Partner and want to help your clients drive the potential of WhatsApp Business API, you're at the right place!!
To become a WhatsApp Partner, you require assistance from a WhatsApp Business Solutions Provider (BSP) like AiSensy.
By becoming a WhatsApp Partner with AiSensy, you will be able to:
- Get listed on the Meta Partner Directory and be eligible for the future incentive program from Meta Tech Provider.
- Get your own Embedded signup flow without the AiSensy branding.
If you're feeling confused with all the technical terms, don't worry, we've explained everything in this blog.
We'll discuss everything you need to know about becoming a WhatsApp Partner with AiSensy.
Who is a WhatsApp Business Solutions Provider (BSP) & how can they help you become a WhatsApp Partner?
Here's the backstory in a flash: WhatsApp didn't want to be flooded with the responsibility of approving requests from businesses who wished to become WhatsApp Partners for WhatsApp Business API. That's why they delegated this responsibility to WhatsApp Business Solution Providers (BSPs) like AiSensy.
You can't directly apply with WhatsApp to become a WhatsApp Partner.
A WhatsApp BSP is a partner chosen by Meta (earlier Facebook) and only through partners like AiSensy can you apply for a WhatsApp Partner.
Wondering where the WhatsApp Partners fit into this scheme?
Well, the official term for such WhatsApp Partners who are helped by a WhatsApp BSP is the Meta Tech Provider. In this blog, to avoid any confusion, we will refer to these partners by the term WhatsApp Partners.
But, what's the edge that WhatsApp offers over other platforms that should convince you to add WhatsApp Marketing to your services?
Let's have a look.

Onboarding Process
After selecting between Direct API partnership and Whitelabel partnership model, partners need to create an app in the Meta Developer account and showcase their solution through a video. In the video, partners have to show business management and messaging using the solution and share their dashboard credentials with Meta.
For Direct APIs, partners demonstrate their solution, while for Whitelabel, partners showcase the AiSensy Whitelabel dashboard.
Approval Process
Once your app is approved by Meta, partners will send a request to AiSensy for solution provider access. The AiSensy team will approve their request. Post that, AiSensy will create a Whitelabel Embedded Signup form for Whitelabel partners, and in Direct API Partnerships, partners have to create their own Embedded Signup form.

Initially, after getting approval from Meta, you will become a Meta Tech Provider.
