# 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](https://whapi.readme.io/reference/getbusinessprofile) 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](https://panel.whapi.cloud/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.<br>

To check the account type via api сall [GET /health](https://whapi.readme.io/reference/checkhealth) and check the `is_business` field in the response:

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

`true` — WhatsApp Business, `false` — regular WhatsApp account.
