Put the code on your door, counter or menu, so customers can ask a question or place an order without saving your number.

Add the code to your print materials, so people can message you straight away instead of typing your number.
Packaging and support
Print the code on a box or an insert, with a starter message, so customers can reach you when they need help.
Frequently asked questions
How does a WhatsApp QR code work?
The code holds a WhatsApp chat link with your phone number. When someone scans it, WhatsApp opens a chat with you, without them saving your number first.
Do I need to add the country code?
Yes. Include your country code, such as +1 for the United States or +44 for the United Kingdom. Without it, the code may open a chat with the wrong number or none at all.
What is the starter message?
It's text that appears ready to send in the chat. The person who scans the code can edit it or send it with one tap. It's optional.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. The code works with any number that uses WhatsApp, including a WhatsApp Business number.
What if the person doesn't have WhatsApp?
They will need WhatsApp installed to chat with you on their phone. If it isn't installed, the link usually opens a page in their browser instead.
What happens if I change my phone number?
The old code will keep pointing to your old number, because the number is stored inside the code. Create a new code and replace the printed one.
Do WhatsApp QR codes expire?
No. The code keeps working for as long as your number stays active on WhatsApp.
