Our partner ecosystem plays a crucial role in this vision by helping businesses from around the world plan, build, and implement solutions on the WhatsApp Business Platform.

WhatsApp Business Platform Ecosystem

The ecosystem is split into two types of partners

Tech Partners

Tech Partners are third party developers who build value added solutions on top of the WhatsApp Business Platform. These solutions can be offered independently or as part of a joint solution with a Solution Partner.^*

Third Party Developers → Tech Provider → Tech Partner

^* Note: Third party developers must onboard first as a Tech Provider before upgrading to Tech Partner.

Solution Partners

Solution Partners offer end-to-end solutions for businesses which includes driving awareness of WhatsApp Business Platform solutions, providing integration services, and offering customer support. Only Solution Partners can extend a line of credit to businesses for payment.
