To make a WhatsApp QR code, choose the WhatsApp type, enter your phone number in international format and an optional starting message, then download the code. Scanning it opens a chat with you.

Select the WhatsApp tab in the generator.
Use international format: country code followed by the number, without the leading 0 (for example +234 for Nigeria, +254 for Kenya, +44 for the UK, +353 for Ireland).
A pre-filled message such as 'Hi, I'd like to order…' makes it easy for customers to start the chat.
Add it to flyers, shop signs, packaging and receipts.
The QR code contains a standard wa.me link. When scanned, WhatsApp opens a chat with that number. It is a link, so the code never expires.
Shop windows, delivery bags, business cards, social posts and invoices all work well. Add a short call to action beside it, such as 'Scan to chat on WhatsApp'.
No. The link works with a normal WhatsApp account or a WhatsApp Business account.
Yes. Scanning opens a chat with your number, so use a business number if you don't want to share a personal one.
