What is a WhatsApp QR Code?

A WhatsApp QR code launches a chat thread in WhatsApp using your number and an optional prefilled message. It removes typing friction so customers can contact you in seconds.

How WhatsApp QR Codes work

QRUpp builds a WhatsApp deep link in the format https://wa.me/<number>?text=<encoded message>. When scanned, WhatsApp opens with your contact and the message ready to send.

Best uses

  • Sales & enquiries: quick chat from posters, flyers, or product pages.
  • Customer support: triage with prefilled context in the message.
  • Bookings & appointments: message templates to collect details.
  • Events & pop‑ups: staff backline for questions and directions.

Tips for faster replies

  • Use an international format (e.g., +44…) so the link works worldwide.
  • Keep the prefilled message short with clear prompts (e.g., “Name + enquiry”).
  • State your response hours and expected reply time near the QR.
  • Test on iOS and Android; ensure WhatsApp is installed or a web fallback appears.

WhatsApp QR Code: FAQs

On desktop, WhatsApp Web opens; on mobile without the app, users are prompted to install WhatsApp.

Use the full international number with country code and no spaces (e.g., +447700900123).

WhatsApp deep links don’t track scans. Include a short link in the prefilled message or pair with a Dynamic URL for attribution.
