How to Create a WhatsApp QR Code
A WhatsApp QR code opens a chat with your number — optionally with a message already typed. It's perfect for support desks, sales, and lead capture.
Steps
- Build your link: https://wa.me/<number> (international format, digits only).
- Optional: add a pre-filled message with ?text=Hello.
- Paste the link into the Studio.
- Add colors or a logo, then download PNG or SVG.
Best practices
- Double-check the country code and number.
- Keep pre-filled messages short and friendly.
- Use a dynamic code if your number might change.
