What is a WhatsApp QR code?
A WhatsApp QR code starts a chat with you the moment it is scanned. WhatsApp opens with your number and an optional pre-filled message, so customers reach you without saving your contact first.
It is the fastest way to turn a poster, menu, or shopfront into a conversation. Use it for enquiries, bookings, or support, change the number or message any time, and it works with both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business.

Frequently asked questions
Do customers need WhatsApp installed?
Yes — the QR opens wa.me which requires WhatsApp to be installed. On desktop it can also open WhatsApp Web.
Can I set a pre-filled message?
Yes — e.g. "Hi, I scanned your menu QR — I have a question about the vegetarian options." Customers can edit it before sending.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes — it uses the same wa.me link format which works with both personal WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business accounts.
Can I change the phone number later?
Yes — update the number or pre-filled message from your dashboard any time. Existing printed QRs update immediately.
Can I add multiple WhatsApp numbers?
Each QR code points to one number. Create separate QR codes for each team member or department.
