WhatsApp QR Code Generator
Turn your WhatsApp chat link into a scannable QR code for shops, packaging and posters.
⚠️ Test by scanning from inside GPay/PhonePe (their scan button) — phone cameras and Google Lens show UPI links as plain text instead of opening payment.
Scan → chat opens. That simple.
Paste your WhatsApp link in the format https://wa.me/919876543210 (country code + number, no plus sign or spaces) and generate a QR code. Anyone who scans it lands directly in a WhatsApp chat with you — no saving your number first.
Pre-fill the first message
Add ?text= to pre-write the customer's opening message: https://wa.me/919876543210?text=Hi%2C%20I%20want%20to%20order. Build the link easily with our WhatsApp link generator first, then paste it here for the QR. Pre-filled messages massively increase how many scans turn into actual chats.
Where businesses use these
Shop counters and visiting cards ("Scan to order on WhatsApp"), product packaging for support, restaurant tables for orders, delivery flyers, and Instagram bio link posters at events. For payments, pair it with the UPI QR generator — one code to chat, one to pay.
Frequently asked questions
What link format do I use?
https://wa.me/ followed by country code and number with no spaces, plus sign or dashes — e.g. https://wa.me/919876543210 for an Indian number.
Can the first message be pre-written?
Yes — append ?text=Your%20message to the link. When someone scans, the chat opens with that message ready to send.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes — wa.me links open whichever WhatsApp app is installed, personal or Business.
Will it work if my number changes?
No — the number is encoded in the QR itself, so a new number needs a new code. Print accordingly.
