QR Code for WhatsApp
Let customers start a WhatsApp chat with you in a single scan.
Phone numbers get mistyped and chats never begin. A QR code for WhatsApp opens a conversation with your business instantly, even prefilling a message so customers know what to ask. Keep it dynamic and you can switch the number behind it, route to a different agent, or update the greeting text at any time while tracking how many conversations each placement starts.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Zero typing
Customers reach your WhatsApp chat directly, no saving contacts or copying numbers.
Prefilled context
Start the chat with a ready message so inquiries arrive clear and on-topic.
Reroute anytime
Point the code to a new number or team without reprinting a single sign.
How to set it up
- 1
Build your wa.me link with number and optional message
- 2
Turn it into a dynamic code with QRmkr
- 3
Display it on counters, packaging, or ads
Before you print it
If your whatsapp code may ever need to point somewhere else, create it as a dynamic QR code you can edit after printing. The printed pattern never changes; only the destination behind it does. It also means you can track every scan by day, device, and location and see which placement actually worked.
WhatsApp FAQ
Can I change the WhatsApp number behind the code?
Yes. Update the destination anytime to route chats to a new number or department.
Can I see how many chats it generates?
Scan analytics show how many people opened a chat and which placement drove them.
Can each location or salesperson have their own WhatsApp code?
Yes. Make one dynamic code per shop, van or rep, each pointing at that person's wa.me link with its own prefilled message, and print them separately. The analytics are per code, so you can see which branch or rep gets the most inbound chats. On Business you can also have up to five team members managing the codes.
Can I prefill a message so I know which sign the customer scanned?
Yes, the prefilled text is part of the wa.me link, so you can write something like "Hi, I saw your window sign" and the customer just hits send. Give each placement its own wording and the incoming chat itself tells you the source. You can edit that wording later on a dynamic code without reprinting the sign.
Do people need a special app to scan it?
No. Any modern iPhone or Android camera reads QR codes natively - point, tap the banner that appears, done.
General questions about how QR codes work, what they cost and how to print them are answered on the QR code FAQ.
