Question 1

How does a WhatsApp QR code work?

Accepted Answer

The QR code contains a wa.me link with your phone number. When scanned, it opens WhatsApp directly to a new chat with you — the sender doesn't need to save your number first.

Question 2

Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?

Accepted Answer

No. The QR code works with both regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business accounts. Just enter your phone number with the country code.

Question 3

Can I pre-fill a message?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can set a default message that appears in the chat input when the user opens the conversation. This is great for order inquiries, support requests, or booking confirmations.

Question 4

What phone number format should I use?

Accepted Answer

Enter your full international number including country code, without the + sign or dashes (e.g., 15551234567). The generator formats it automatically.

Question 5

Where should I use a WhatsApp QR code?

Accepted Answer

Restaurant tables, product packaging, business cards, storefronts, event badges, and social media profiles are all popular placements.
