<div><span>Updated: Nov 14, 2025</span></div><div>This document describes how to customize Embedded Signup to bypass the [phone number addition screen](/books/meta-whatsapp/page/customizing-the-default-flow-developer-documentation) (shown below) and [phone number verification screen](/books/meta-whatsapp/page/customizing-the-default-flow-developer-documentation).</div><div>![](https://support2.chatarchitect.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/embedded-image-m6xsichk.png)</div><div>If you don’t want your business customers to have to enter or choose a business phone number in the phone number addition screen, you can customize Embedded Signup to skip the screen entirely. However, after a customer successfully completes the customized flow, you must [programmatically create and register their business phone number](/books/meta-whatsapp/page/registering-business-phone-numbers-developer-documentation), or build a UI in your app that allows them to do this.</div><div id="bkmrk-enabling-the-feature"><div id="bkmrk-enabling-the-feature-1"><div>### Enabling the feature

</div></div></div><div>To enable this feature, set `featureType` to `only_waba_sharing` in the [launch method and callback registration](/books/meta-whatsapp/page/implementation-developer-documentation) portion of the Embedded Signup code:</div><div>```

```

</div><div>When a business customer successfully completes the flow, the [session logging message event](/books/meta-whatsapp/page/implementation-developer-documentation) will have `event` set to `FINISH_ONLY_WABA`:</div><div><div>```
{
  data: {
    phone_number_id: "<CUSTOMER_BUSINESS_PHONE_NUMBER_ID>",
    waba_id: "<CUSTOMER_WABA_ID>"
  },
