Add payment method and tax to WhatsApp Business
Learn how to configure your billing details and tax information to ensure uninterrupted messaging services.
To send messages beyond the free tier, Meta requires a valid payment method on file. Adding your tax details (like GST or VAT) is also crucial for receiving accurate invoices and complying with local regulations. This guide walks you through the setup process in the Meta Business Suite.
Navigate to Business Settings
Log in to your Meta Business Suite and select the Business Account associated with your WaDoot workspace. Click on the 'Settings' icon at the bottom left and then select 'Business Settings'.
Access the Payments Section
In the left-hand menu, under the 'Accounts' or 'Payments' tab, click on 'Payment Methods'. This is where you manage all credit cards and payment profiles for your business assets.
Add a Credit or Debit Card
Click the 'Add' button. Enter your card details, including the CVV and billing address. Meta will perform a small temporary authorization charge to verify the card. We recommend using a card with international transaction capabilities.
Configure Tax Information
Once the payment method is added, go to the 'WhatsApp Accounts' section under 'Accounts'. Select your WABA account and click on 'Settings' > 'Payment Settings'. Here, you can enter your Tax ID (GST, VAT, etc.) and legal business address for invoicing.
