Embedded Signup

What is it?

The business platform API is not an app; so it works when an app embeds the API into its environment. This can be achieved manually by configuring the API account and insert the configuration into PCG MS or by using the embedded signup that automatically do the things for you. You can start the signup process in the Business Numbers page when clicking on Connect to Facebook blue button. This button only exists if the business haven't completed the embedded sign-in.

Below is a video showing the signup steps included in the embedded signup:

  1. Log in to your personal Facebook account if you haven't already done so. If your business already has a Meta business account, it's advisable to log in to the Facebook account associated with your business location. For instance, this could be accounts that have access to or own the Facebook page of your business.
  2. Create or select a Meta Business account. If you've logged in to a Facebook account with access to or ownership of a Facebook page, the business account linked to that page will be listed as an option for selection. Alternatively, you can create a new business portfolio.
  3. Create or choose a WhatsApp Business profile associated with the Meta Business account.
  4. Input and verify the phone number you'd like for your business. See business numbers to know more
  5. Agree to the permissions required to enable us to operate your business on your behalf.

At this stage, PCG MS can use and manage your business’s data on your behalf. For more info, please read the data protection policy.
