What is a WhatsApp QR Code?
A WhatsApp QR code lets people start a WhatsApp conversation with you instantly. When they scan the code, WhatsApp opens with your number pre-loaded — and if you want, a pre-filled message ready to send. The person doesn't need to save your number first. They just scan and message.
WhatsApp has over 2 billion users worldwide, making it one of the most popular ways for businesses to communicate with customers. A WhatsApp QR code removes every barrier between your customer and a conversation with you. One scan and they're in your inbox.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the person scanning need to have WhatsApp installed?
Yes, the person scanning must have WhatsApp installed on their device. If WhatsApp is not installed, the link may open the web version of WhatsApp (web.whatsapp.com) instead.
Can I pre-fill a message?
Yes. In the WhatsApp QR code form, enter a message in the pre-filled message field. When someone scans the code, WhatsApp opens with that message ready — they just tap send.
Should I include the country code in my WhatsApp number?
Yes, always include the country code (like +1 for USA or +44 for UK). Without it, WhatsApp may not recognize the number correctly and the QR code won't work.
Can businesses use WhatsApp QR codes?
Yes. Both personal and WhatsApp Business accounts can use QR codes. WhatsApp Business users can also use QRWing to create custom-designed codes for their business.
What if I want to change my WhatsApp number later?
Since QRWing creates static QR codes, the number is fixed in the code. If your WhatsApp number changes, you'll need to create a new QR code with the updated number.
