QR Codes for WhatsApp
A WhatsApp QR code opens a chat with you the moment it’s scanned — no one has to save your number first. It uses a “click to chat” link and can even pre-fill the first message, so customers reach support or sales in a single tap. It’s a popular choice for businesses that handle inquiries and orders over WhatsApp.
Popular Use Cases
- Customer support links on packaging and receipts
- Storefront and counter “message us” signs
- Lead capture on ads, flyers, and posters
- Click-to-chat in catalogs and brochures
- Order and booking inquiries for small businesses
