# Why don’t I see the MM Lite API button on my templates page?

The MM Lite API button is only visible if:

- Your WABA account has mmLiteEnabled = 0 (not yet processed)
- You are not using a sandbox account
- Your account meets Meta's basic requirements

If you don't see the button, your account may not be eligible or you may be using a sandbox environment.
