How to Create a QR Code for WhatsApp Chat

Generate a QR code that opens a WhatsApp chat with your phone number. One scan to start a conversation.

What Is a WhatsApp QR Code?

A WhatsApp QR code encodes a wa.me link — when scanned, it opens a chat window with your phone number pre-filled. The customer taps Send and the conversation begins. No need to save your number as a contact first. This is widely used by businesses for customer support, order inquiries, and lead generation.

Creating Your WhatsApp QR Code

Use our WhatsApp QR Code Generator. Enter your phone number with country code (e.g., +1 for US, +44 for UK). Optionally add a pre-filled message that will appear in the chat box when the user scans. The QR code generates instantly.

The pre-filled message is a great touch for context: 'Hi, I found your QR code on your business card. I'd like to know more about...' helps you understand where the lead came from.

Where to Use It

Customer support: print on product packaging, receipts, or in-store signage. Lead generation: include on business cards, trade show materials, and flyers. E-commerce: add to order confirmation pages or shipping labels for easy post-purchase support.

WhatsApp QR codes are especially effective in regions where WhatsApp is the dominant messaging platform — much of Latin America, Europe, India, and Southeast Asia.
