FAQ

Questions people ask

Straight answers to what usually decides whether this is the right tool for the job.

What happens when someone scans a WhatsApp QR code?

Their phone opens WhatsApp on a chat with your number, with your pre-written first message already typed into the input box. They only have to press send, which removes the two steps — finding the number, working out what to say — where most enquiries are abandoned.

Can I change the phone number or message later?

Yes. Both the number and the pre-filled message are stored against the code rather than baked into the pattern, so you can update either one at any time without reprinting.

Does this work with WhatsApp Business?

Yes. Any number registered on WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business works, including numbers using the WhatsApp Business API.

Do customers need to save my number first?

No. The click-to-chat link WhatsApp supports opens a conversation with an unsaved number, which is precisely why it works on packaging and signage aimed at strangers.

Can I see how many people scanned it?

Yes. Every scan is recorded with a timestamp, device type, and approximate location, so you can compare a code on a shopfront window against the same offer on a takeaway bag.
