What is a WhatsApp QR Code?
A WhatsApp QR code contains a link in the format https://wa.me/+91XXXXXXXXXX?text=Hello. When scanned, WhatsApp opens on the user's phone with your number and the pre-filled message — ready to send with one tap.
How Does it Work?
The QR code encodes a standard WhatsApp deep link. When scanned on any phone with WhatsApp installed, the app opens a new chat to your number. If WhatsApp is not installed, it opens wa.me in the browser with a prompt to download the app.
How to Create a WhatsApp QR Code
Select WhatsApp from the QR type picker on the homepage.
Enter your country code (e.g., +91 for India) and your WhatsApp number (without spaces or dashes).
Add a message the customer will see when the chat opens — e.g., "Hello! I saw your menu and want to enquire about…". This reduces friction and increases conversions.
