Let customers start a WhatsApp chat without saving your number

CodeKit's WhatsApp QR Code Generator builds official wa.me click-to-chat links encoded into a scannable QR code. When a customer scans the code on your storefront window, product packaging, receipt, or flyer, WhatsApp opens directly to a chat with your business number and pre-populates your custom message in their text box.

Frequently asked questions

How should I format my phone number for a WhatsApp QR code?

Include your country code followed by your phone number using digits only (e.g., 15551234567). CodeKit automatically strips spaces, dashes, or plus signs to match WhatsApp's wa.me standard.

Does this work with WhatsApp Business?

Yes. It works with both standard WhatsApp accounts and WhatsApp Business numbers.

Do WhatsApp QR codes expire?

No. As long as your phone number remains active on WhatsApp, the generated QR code will work permanently.
