What is WhatsApp Business?

WhatsApp Business is a dedicated communication channel designed to help your business connect with customers professionally and efficiently.

Requirements for Connecting WhatsApp to Facebook

Before you bridge the gap between your Facebook Page and WhatsApp Business, you must ensure you have a few essential prerequisites. Here are the key requirements to ensure a smooth and successful connection:

• A Verified WhatsApp Business Account: You need an active and verified WhatsApp Business account. This ensures you have access to the business-specific features necessary for the integration.

The checklist is complete! Now, on to the fun part—setting it all up.

How to Connect WhatsApp to Facebook: A Step-by-Step Guide

Now that you've ensured you meet the necessary requirements, let's walk through the process of linking your WhatsApp Business account to your Facebook Page. This connection can be made through a computer or your smartphone.

Connecting WhatsApp Business to Facebook via Computer

Here are the steps to link your accounts using a computer:

1. Go to Your Facebook Page: Open your web browser and navigate to your business's Facebook Page. Ensure you are logged in as the Page administrator.
2. Access Page Settings: Click on the "Settings" option under the ‘Manage Page’ tab of your Facebook Page. It is usually located in the left-hand menu or at the top of the page.
3. Navigate to WhatsApp: In the Page Settings menu, scroll down and find the "WhatsApp" section. Click on it.
4. Connect Your Account: You will see a prompt to connect your WhatsApp account. Click on the "Connect WhatsApp" button.
5. Enter Your WhatsApp Business Number: A pop-up window will appear asking for your WhatsApp Business phone number. Enter the phone number associated with your WhatsApp Business account, including the country code.
6. Get Verification Code: Click on the "Continue" button. WhatsApp will send a verification code to the phone number you provided.
7. Enter the Code: In the pop-up window on Facebook, enter the 6-digit verification code you received on your WhatsApp Business number.
8. Confirm Connection: Click on the "Confirm" button. Your WhatsApp Business account is now connected to your Facebook Page. 
9. Add the WhatsApp Button: After confirming your connection, return to your main Facebook Page view. Below your Page's cover photo, you should see an "Add Button" option (if you haven't added one before) or the current button displayed. Click on this button.
10. Select "Send WhatsApp Message": A menu with various button options will appear. Scroll through the list and select "Send WhatsApp Message." Facebook might automatically suggest this option after you've connected your WhatsApp.
11. Save Changes: Click "Save" or "Create" to add the WhatsApp button to your Facebook Page.

Connecting WhatsApp Business to Facebook via Smartphone

The steps to link your accounts using your smartphone (iOS or Android) are similar:

1. Open the Facebook App: Launch the Facebook app and go to your business's Facebook Page.
2. Access Page Settings: Tap on the "More" option (for iOS users) or the three horizontal lines (menu icon for Android users) and then scroll down to find "Settings & Privacy." Tap on "Settings."
3. Navigate to Linked Accounts: Scroll down to the "Audience and Visibility" or "Permissions" (Android) and tap "Linked Accounts."
4. Select WhatsApp: Tap on "WhatsApp."
5. Connect Your Account: Tap on the "Connect Account" button.
6. Enter Your WhatsApp Business Number: Enter the phone number associated with your WhatsApp Business account, including the country code.
7. Send Code: Tap on "Continue." WhatsApp will send a verification code to the number you entered.
8. Enter the Code: Enter the 6-digit verification code you received on your WhatsApp Business app.
9. Confirm Connection: Tap on "Confirm." Your WhatsApp Business account is now linked to your Facebook Page.
10. Add the WhatsApp Button: Go back to your main Facebook Page view in the app. Below your Page's cover photo, look for the "Add Button" option (or the existing button). Tap on it.
11. Select "Send WhatsApp Message": From the list of button options, choose "Send WhatsApp Message."
12. Save Changes: Tap "Save" or "Create" to add the WhatsApp button to your Facebook Page.

Connecting WhatsApp to a Newly Created Facebook Business Page

If you've just created a Facebook Page for your business, the process of connecting WhatsApp to Facebook is even more simple: 

1. Initial Pop-up: As one of the first steps in setting up your new Facebook Business Page, you may see a pop-up asking if you want to connect your Page to WhatsApp.
2. Direct Input: If you see this, you can directly enter your WhatsApp Business phone number in the prompt.
3. Follow Verification: Facebook will then guide you through the standard verification process of sending a code to your WhatsApp Business app, which you'll need to enter to confirm the connection.

Once you've successfully linked your WhatsApp Business account to your Facebook Page, you gain additional ways to make it easier for customers to connect with you directly:

• Make WhatsApp Your Primary Action Button: You can designate WhatsApp as the main call-to-action button on your Facebook Page. This means that the prominent button below your cover photo will directly prompt visitors to "Send WhatsApp Message," providing an immediate and direct route for inquiries and engagement.
• Display Your WhatsApp Business Number Publicly: You can showcase your WhatsApp Business phone number in the "About" section of your Facebook Page. This allows customers who prefer to contact you directly via phone to easily find your WhatsApp number, offering an alternative communication method.

You can enable either or both of these options within your Facebook Page settings after completing the initial connection process. This flexibility allows you to tailor how you want your WhatsApp contact information to be presented to your Facebook audience.

Have you got everything connected but need to make some tweaks? Let's see how you can easily undo the connection if needed.

How to Remove WhatsApp Business Account from Facebook Page?

Even with the best intentions, there might be times when you need to disconnect your WhatsApp Business account from your Facebook Page. You may have initially linked the wrong WhatsApp number, or you're restructuring your communication channels. Whatever the reason, removing the connection is a straightforward process.

Removing WhatsApp Business from Facebook Page (via Computer or Facebook App)

These steps generally apply whether you're using a computer or the Facebook app on your smartphone:

1. Go to Your Facebook Page: Open your web browser or the Facebook app and navigate to your business's Facebook Page. Ensure you are logged in as the Page administrator.
2. Access Page Settings:
   
   • Computer: Click " Settings " in the left-hand menu or at the top of the page.
   • Facebook App: Tap on "More" (three horizontal lines or your profile picture) > "Settings & Privacy" > "Settings."
3. Navigate to WhatsApp: In the Page Settings menu, scroll down and find the "WhatsApp" section. Click or tap on it.
4. Disconnect Account: Your connected WhatsApp Business number will be displayed. Look for an option like "Disconnect," "Remove Account," or a similar phrase next to the number. Click or tap on this option.
5. Confirm Removal: A confirmation window will appear, asking if you want to disconnect your WhatsApp Business account. Click or tap "Disconnect" or "Remove" to confirm the action.

Your WhatsApp Business account is now unlinked from your Facebook Page. The WhatsApp button on your page will be removed, and your WhatsApp number will no longer be displayed in the "About" section (if you have enabled that option).

Removing Your WhatsApp Account from Facebook Page Through the WhatsApp Business Application

While the primary method for disconnecting is through the Facebook Page settings, you can sometimes initiate a form of removal indirectly through the WhatsApp Business application, although this typically involves removing the linked Facebook Page from the WhatsApp Business app's linked accounts, which achieves a similar result:

1. Open WhatsApp Business App: Launch the WhatsApp Business application on your smartphone.
2. Access Business Tools: Tap on the three vertical dots (Android) or "Settings" (iPhone) located in the top right or bottom right corner.
3. Go to Linked Accounts: Look for an option like "Linked Accounts" or "Connected Accounts" and tap on it.
4. Select Facebook: You should see your linked Facebook Page listed. Tap on it.
5. Remove or Unlink: You will likely see an option to "Remove" or "Unlink" the Facebook Page. Tap on this option.
6. Confirm Removal: A confirmation prompt will appear. Confirm that you want to remove the linked Facebook Page.

While this method is initiated from the WhatsApp Business app, it essentially breaks the connection from WhatsApp's perspective, achieving the desired outcome of unlinking the two accounts. The primary control for managing this connection resides within the Facebook Page settings.
