Guide
How to Set Up a WhatsApp "Click to Chat" QR Code
This QR code encodes a wa.me link — WhatsApp's official click-to-chat format. Scanning it opens a chat with your number already filled in, with an optional pre-written message, so a visitor can message you in two taps instead of saving your number first.
Getting the number right
Enter your number in full international format — country code first, no leading zero, no spaces or dashes (for example, a South African number starting 082... becomes 27 82...). This is the single most common reason a WhatsApp QR code fails to open a chat, so test it on your own phone before printing.
Pre-filled messages
Adding a short message — like "Hi, I'd like to ask about [product]" or "I'd like to book a table" — saves the customer from typing a first message and gives you context on what they're asking about before you even reply.
Where it's used
Restaurants and takeaways — print on menus or window signs for quick ordering.
Small business packaging and receipts — turn a one-time customer into a direct contact for support or repeat orders.
Real estate and services — "Message me about this listing" signage that skips the phone-dialler step entirely.
Events — RSVP or enquiry codes on flyers and posters.
WhatsApp Business
This works with both personal and WhatsApp Business numbers. If you're using it for a company, WhatsApp Business adds a profile with your business hours, address, and catalogue — worth setting up before the code goes out into the world.
Most QR generators route through their servers — a no-redirect QR code like ours encodes your URL directly. No middleman, no monthly fee, no ransom.

Privacy-first by design
QR codes are generated entirely on your device. We never see your URLs, WiFi passwords, or contact details. Zero server upload — the only privacy-first QR generator that’s actually honest about it.
