Connect WhatsApp Business
Link the number buyers already message so Timi can reply on the same line.
Step 1
Open Settings → WhatsApp
Click Connect and sign in with the Facebook account that manages your WhatsApp Business. Allow pop-ups for Meta’s signup window.
Open WhatsApp settingsStep 2
Pick the right number
Choose the Business number on your posters and Instagram bio — not a personal test line. Numbers you already use in the WhatsApp Business app work, and so do new business numbers you set up during connect.
Step 3
Finish shop setup first
Timi stays Off while you add your shop details. After setup, choose Off, All, or From ads only in Feed or Settings → WhatsApp.

Confirm it works
After connect, your number appears under Settings → WhatsApp. Open Feed when you are ready — chats from buyers on that line show up there.

Tips
- A number already linked to another Timi shop must be disconnected there first — Timi never auto-takes over a line.
- Keep the tab open until Meta finishes; closing early can leave the connection incomplete.
- Personal WhatsApp update alerts are separate — save and verify that number under Settings → Account.
