How to make a WhatsApp QR code

  1. Enter your WhatsApp number, country code first and digits only.
  2. Add an optional first message.
  3. Choose a style and a logo, then download the code.

Where to use it

Customer support

Print it on receipts, packaging or a shop counter.

Orders and bookings

Start every chat with a message such as I would like to book.

Business cards

Put the code on a card so people can message you without saving your number.

Tips for a code that scans

  • Use the number exactly as WhatsApp has it, with the country code and no plus sign or spaces.
  • A short first message such as Hi, I scanned your code saves time.
  • Check the chat opens on your own phone before you print.
  • Keep strong contrast between the dots and the background, and leave the empty border around the code.
  • Print it at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide, and larger if people scan it from a distance.
