WhatsApp OTP API for Saudi Arabia
Coming soon: verification codes over WhatsApp, with the same two calls. The code will travel over Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform, in an approved authentication template with a one-tap copy-code button, from Tawked's verified business number.
Tawked Verify is an OTP verification API for Saudi numbers.0.09 SAR per SMS code sent. A send the network refuses is refunded at once.
Key points
The same API
The channel is a field in the verify/start request, and the check is the same verify/check call. No extra integration.
Meta-approved authentication template
An official verification message from a verified business number, with a button that copies the code in one tap.
For Saudi mobile numbers
The same number formats, 05... or +9665..., and the same protection: short expiry and limited attempts.
The code only
The authentication template carries the code and the copy button, without your app's name; the SMS names it.
Common questions
Do I need my own WhatsApp Business number?
Not for verification codes: they will come from a verified business number through Tawked. Sending WhatsApp messages under your own name from your own number, such as order updates, is Tawked Notifications: connect your WhatsApp Business Account from the dashboard and send approved templates from your code.
What if the user does not have WhatsApp?
Send the code by SMS from the same API. The channel is a field in the request, so you choose per user.
What does it cost?
The price per WhatsApp code appears on the pricing page when the channel opens.
