A WhatsApp QR Code opens a chat directly with your number, without the person having to save your contact first. You can include an opening message that appears ready in the text field, which makes first contact easier for clients, leads or patients.
Frequently asked questions
Does the person scanning need my number saved?
No. The QR Code takes them straight to a chat with your number, even if they have never saved your contact.
Does it work with the international number format?
Yes, and that is how it should be filled in: country code followed by the area code and the number, with no spaces, dashes or symbols.
Is the opening message sent automatically?
No. The message appears ready in the WhatsApp text field, but the person still has to tap send to confirm.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. The code works the same way for numbers registered on regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business.
