How to Find Facebook Business Manager ID [May 2022]

Facebook Business Manager ID is important especially when you want to give business service providers (BSPs) access to your Facebook Business Manager — also known as Meta Business Portfolio. Regardless of why you need it, we’ll show you how to find your Facebook Business Manager ID in under 2 minutes. But first, let's take a look at what Facebook Business Manager ID is.

What is Facebook Business Manager ID

Facebook Business Manager ID is a unique 15-digit identifier that corresponds to your Facebook Business Manager account. It is used to differentiate and identify each Business Manager account on Facebook.

Note that Facebook Business Manager ID is not the same as Facebook Page ID or Facebook Ad ID. Each of these Facebook Business IDs has its own function and you can find all of them in your Facebook Business Manager.

If you’re signing up for WhatsApp Business API through the classic sign-up method, you’ll need to connect your WhatsApp Business API account to your Facebook Business Manager. To do this, you need your Facebook Business Manager ID.

The ID will allow WhatsApp to identify your Facebook Business Manager account and associate your phone numbers with it. Once your WhatsApp Business API is connected, you can start the Facebook Business verification process.

Having that said, businesses are only required to verify their Facebook Business Manager account to prove the legitimacy of their organization when they want to increase their WhatsApp Business API messaging limits.
