Higher error correction keeps the code readable when it is printed small, worn or partly covered, but makes it denser.

How a WhatsApp QR code works

The code contains a wa.me click-to-chat link with your phone number and, optionally, a pre-filled message. Scanning it opens WhatsApp with a chat to your number ready to send, without the customer having to save your number first.

Ideas for using it

  • Restaurants and takeaways: take orders and reservations by WhatsApp.
  • Shops and services: add it to the shop window, receipts and business cards.
  • Flyers, posters and packaging: give customers a direct line to support.
  • Events: let attendees ask questions or join a group chat.

Tips

  • Always include the country code (e.g. +353 or +40) and leave out leading zeros.
  • Use a pre-filled message so you know where the customer found the code, e.g. “Hi! I saw your flyer”.
  • WhatsApp Business numbers work exactly the same way.

Frequently asked questions
