How to use the WhatsApp QR Code Generator

    Enter your WhatsApp number with the country code and no plus sign or spaces, for example 8801XXXXXXXXX.

    Optionally type a pre-filled message such as “Hi, I would like a quote”.

  3. 3

    Design the code, download it and add it to your shop window, flyers, packaging or website.

Frequently asked questions

Does the QR code work with WhatsApp Business?+

Yes. It uses the standard wa.me link, which works for both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business numbers.

Can I include a message that is already typed?+

Yes. Whatever you enter in the message field appears in the customer's chat box ready to send, which saves them typing and tells you why they got in touch.

How should I write the number?+

Use the full international number without a plus sign, spaces or dashes. A Bangladesh number starting 01 becomes 8801…, and a US number becomes 1….

Will it expire?+

No. The link is stored inside the code. It keeps working as long as that WhatsApp number exists.

Turn passers-by into WhatsApp conversations

In many markets, customers prefer a quick WhatsApp message to a phone call or an email form. A WhatsApp QR code puts that conversation one scan away, from a shop window, a delivery box, a business card or an advert.

Ideas for a pre-filled message

  • Sales: “Hi, I would like a quote for…”
  • Support: “Hello, I need help with order number…”
  • Bookings: “I would like to book a table for…”
  • Campaign tracking: use a different message per poster (“Hi, I saw your ad in the metro”) so you know which placement worked.

Where WhatsApp QR codes work best

Restaurant menus and table cards, product packaging, storefronts, real estate signs, event banners, invoices and email signatures all work. Add a frame with CHAT WITH US for a clear call to action.

Good practice

  • Use a dedicated business number so personal chats stay private.
  • Set an away message and business hours in WhatsApp Business.
  • Test the code from a phone that does not have your number saved.
