Where a WhatsApp QR code works best

  • Shop counters and billing desks — customers scan to save your number and get offers later.
  • Packaging and invoices — for re-orders, support and reviews.
  • Flyers, visiting cards and standees — scanning is faster than typing a number.
  • Newspaper, hoarding and metro ads — turns a print ad into a conversation you can measure.

Tips for a QR code that scans first time

  • Keep the white border around the code — scanners need it.
  • Print dark on light. Avoid putting the code on busy photos or low-contrast colours.
  • Add a short line next to it, like "Scan to chat on WhatsApp", so people know what they'll get.
  • Test the printed proof with a few different phones before printing in bulk.
  • Use a ready message that names the place, like "Hi, I scanned the code at your shop".

Free, no obligation. We only use your number to call you about this.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does the WhatsApp QR code expire?

No. The QR code simply contains your WhatsApp link, so it keeps working as long as the number is on WhatsApp. Nothing depends on our website.

Can I change the number or message later?

Not on a printed code — the number and message are inside the code itself. Make a new QR code if they change.

What size should I print it?

Big enough for the distance people scan from. For a counter or visiting card, a few centimetres is fine; a common rule of thumb is that people can scan from about ten times the code's width. Always test a print with two or three phones.

Is this different from WhatsApp's own QR code?

WhatsApp's app can show a QR code for your profile. This one also lets you add a ready message, works for any number and downloads as a high-resolution image for printing.
