Business profile checklist
Name, category, hours, and about text ready before you ever open Meta Business Suite.
WhatsApp Business
Get your shop ready for WhatsApp — without an agency build.
WaReady helps local and mid-market owners — shops, clinics, contractors, and service businesses that already get asked, “Can I text you on WhatsApp?” Agency builds take weeks and cost thousands. WaReady gets the profile, message templates, routing, and an inbox preview ready before you connect Meta yourself.
WaReady prepares your shop for WhatsApp. Messages do not go through Meta until you connect your own WhatsApp Business account.
Starter $29/mo · See pricing
7-day free trial. A card is required. About 100 practice inbox replies in the browser preview (not Meta sends). The subscription auto-converts to $29/mo (or $290/yr) unless you cancel. One trial per business email and phone.
After you connect Meta, some WhatsApp service messages (like approved templates outside the 24-hour window) are billed by Meta. That is Meta's cost, not a hidden WaReady fee.
The shared inbox is a browser preview with sample threads. Replies are practice only — nothing is delivered to customers' phones.
