What is a WhatsApp QR code?
A WhatsApp QR code is a wa.me link to your number, with an optional message filled in. It works with WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business on iPhone and Android, and customers don't need to save your number first.
Popular uses
- Orders and bookings for small businesses
- Customer support on packaging and receipts
- Shop windows, flyers and delivery bags
- Restaurant takeaway orders
- Real-estate signs: "Message me about this house"
Tips for a code that scans
- Enter the full number with the country code and no leading zero, for example 447700900123.
- Use the prefilled message to say where the scan came from, such as "Hi, I saw your poster".
- Test it with your own phone before printing.
