Generate a QR code that points to a WhatsApp chat link. It is useful for service enquiries, order questions, bookings, customer support, and promotional materials where customers already expect to message the business. Add a short, prefilled message when it helps explain why someone is contacting you.
Use the country code but omit spaces, brackets, and the plus sign in the wa.me phone number. The number must be registered with WhatsApp for the chat to work. Test the link on a phone where you are not signed in as the business account.
How to use this tool
- Enter the WhatsApp number with country code and digits only.
- Add an optional message for the user to edit.
- Scan the code and make sure it opens the correct chat.
Practical guidance
A WhatsApp chat link works best when the destination number is a business or support account that someone actively monitors. A suggested first message can help identify the context, for example an order question or booking enquiry, but leave room for the customer to edit it. Share only information that is appropriate for a public printed QR code.
Checks before you use the output
Use the international country code followed by digits, without a plus sign or punctuation. Then test the link on a phone that is not logged in as the recipient account. Confirm the correct profile opens and that the prefilled message is readable. The feature opens a chat; it does not deliver a message until the visitor sends it.
Questions and answers
Does the QR code send the message automatically?
No. It opens the conversation, and the user reviews and sends the message.
Can it open a business account?
Yes, provided the entered number is active on WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business.
Can I use a landline number?
Only if that number is registered with WhatsApp. The code can open a chat link, but a number that is not supported by WhatsApp will not start the intended conversation.
