Getting started
Plain answers on WhatsApp Business: costs, templates, consent, Shopify and moving your number. Written by the Qubox team and checked against Meta’s own pages.
Move your WhatsApp number to a new provider
You can keep your WhatsApp Business number when you change provider. Under Meta's new account model the number does not move: you share your WhatsApp account with the new provider through Meta's own sign-in. Then remake your templates there, add a payment method, import contacts with their consent, and export old chats you want to keep.
Updated Getting startedUse the WhatsApp Business app and API on one number
Meta lets you connect your WhatsApp Business app number to the API and keep using the app on your phone. Recent chats and contacts can be synced and messages from the app stay free. But some app features are switched off, sending is capped at 20 messages a second, and the API cannot do everything the app does.
