Summary
When initiating your journey with the PulpoChat's WhatsApp Business API, Meta provides a complimentary WhatsApp number (typically with a +1 555 prefix) to facilitate a quick start.
This "test drive" environment is excellent for initial configuration and exploring the platform's capabilities without immediate verification hurdles.
However, this free number is a temporary solution with specific constraints. To unlock the full power of the platform—including high-volume campaigns, advanced messaging tiers, and the official verified "green tick"—you will eventually need to transition to a verified business number.
This article details how to navigate the Embedded Signup (ES) process when opting for a free number or when your business does not yet have a live website.
