The name your customers know.
What to prepare: Display name
Choose a name that clearly represents your business and matches its public branding.

Pay Meta directly. No markup.
What to prepare: Meta billing
Be ready to add your payment method in Meta's WhatsApp billing settings.

Good to know: limits, verification and badges
Messaging limits and verification are managed by Meta. Check the allowance shown in WhatsApp Manager before planning a campaign; verification alone is not a promise of a particular sending limit.
A verified badge is separate from getting your business connected. You do not need to buy a badge to start with Dharix.
