Can I use WhatsApp Business to connect?

You can connect a WhatsApp Business number to your Whapi.Cloud channel — it works the same way as a regular WhatsApp account. Just scan the QR code or use OTP pairing as usual. WhatsApp Business gives you access to additional features via the API: business profile fields (address, description, website, working hours) and a product catalog. These are available through the /business endpoints in the documentation.

How do I check if my number is a work number or a regular phone number?

This is visually reflected in the dashboard: open the channel page at panel.whapi.cloud - if the connected number is a business account, the WhatsApp Business icon will appear in the channel.

To check the account type via api сall GET /health and check the is_business field in the response:

{
  "status": { "code": 4, "text": "AUTH" },
  "is_business": true
}

true — WhatsApp Business, false — regular WhatsApp account.
