Repeat Grow is an approved Meta Tech Provider for the WhatsApp Business Platform. If you are choosing a WhatsApp CRM or broadcast tool, that phrase tells you a lot about how safe your number will be and who controls your data. Here is what a Tech Provider is, how it differs from other kinds of WhatsApp tools, and how to check any provider before you connect your business number.
What a Meta Tech Provider is
Meta runs the WhatsApp Business Platform (the Cloud API) for companies that build software on top of WhatsApp. A Tech Provider is a software company that Meta has approved to connect other businesses to that platform. To become one, a company has to:
- verify its own business with Meta;
- pass Meta's app review for the WhatsApp permissions it uses, such as sending messages and managing WhatsApp Business Accounts;
- onboard customers through Embedded Signup, Meta's own sign-in window, rather than asking for passwords or QR codes.
In short, Meta has checked who the provider is and what its app does with WhatsApp, and every business it connects goes through Meta's own flow.
Tech Provider, Solution Partner and unofficial tools
| Meta Tech Provider | Meta Solution Partner (BSP) | Unofficial tool | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uses the official WhatsApp API | Yes | Yes | No (WhatsApp Web or app automation) |
| Approved by Meta | Yes | Yes | No |
| How you connect | Embedded Signup | Embedded Signup or managed setup | QR code or phone login |
| Who bills WhatsApp message fees | Meta, directly to you | Meta or the partner | Not applicable |
| Risk of a ban for the tool itself | No | No | High |
Tech Providers and Solution Partners are both on the official platform. The main practical difference is billing: with a Tech Provider such as Repeat Grow, Meta charges message fees to your own WhatsApp Business Account, so there is no markup on them. Unofficial tools are a different category altogether. We explain why in official vs unofficial WhatsApp tools.
What it means for your business
- Your number is safe to use. Messages go through Meta's Cloud API, so WhatsApp has no reason to ban you for the software you use.
- You own the account. Your WhatsApp Business Account, number and templates live in your own Meta Business portfolio. You can remove Repeat Grow's access there at any time.
- No markup on message fees. Meta bills WhatsApp fees directly to you at its published rates. See how WhatsApp pricing works.
- Every official feature. Approved templates, broadcasts, interactive buttons, catalogs, WhatsApp Pay and WhatsApp calling all work, because they are part of the platform.
- Setup in minutes. Embedded Signup connects your number from inside Repeat Grow, and we help with business verification.
How to check a WhatsApp provider is genuine
- Look at the connect screen. A genuine provider opens a Facebook window (Embedded Signup) to connect your number. If it asks you to scan a QR code, it is not using the API.
- Check your Meta Business settings. After connecting, your WhatsApp Business Account should appear under your own business at business.facebook.com, with the provider's app listed under connected apps.
- Look for a display name review. On the official API, Meta reviews your display name and you get a quality rating and messaging limits.
- Ask who bills message fees. A clear answer such as “Meta bills you directly” is a good sign.

Frequently asked questions
Is Repeat Grow a Meta Tech Provider?
Yes. Repeat Grow is an approved Meta Tech Provider for the WhatsApp Business Platform. Businesses connect their own WhatsApp number to Repeat Grow through Meta’s official Embedded Signup.
What is the difference between a Meta Tech Provider and a BSP?
Both use the official WhatsApp Business Platform. A Tech Provider builds software and onboards businesses with Embedded Signup, and each business pays Meta directly for its messages. A Meta Business Partner (Solution Partner, often called a BSP) can also bill message fees to the business on Meta’s behalf.
Who owns my WhatsApp Business Account?
You do. The WhatsApp Business Account and phone number stay in your own Meta Business portfolio. Repeat Grow gets permission to send and receive messages for you, and you can remove that access from your Meta Business settings at any time.
Does Repeat Grow add a markup to WhatsApp message fees?
No. Meta bills WhatsApp message fees straight to the payment method on your WhatsApp Business Account. Repeat Grow charges only its plan price.
Can my number get banned for using Repeat Grow?
Not for using Repeat Grow itself, because it runs on the official API. Any WhatsApp number can still be limited if customers block or report it, so follow WhatsApp’s messaging policies and only message people who opted in.
