How to use your WhatsApp QR code
- Shop windows, posters and flyers so passers-by can message you in one scan.
- Packaging, receipts and invoices for support and re-orders.
- Business cards and brochures to start a chat instead of a call.
- Events and signboards, for example property signs. See WhatsApp chatbots for real estate and WhatsApp for admissions.
- Print and screen ads. For ads on Facebook and Instagram, use Click-to-WhatsApp ads instead.
Tips for a QR code that scans every time
- Print it at least 2 cm (about 1 inch) wide, and larger for posters.
- Keep strong contrast: dark code on a white background, with a clear margin around it.
- Keep the pre-filled message short. Longer messages make a denser code that is harder to scan.
- Always test the printed code with two or three different phones before you print in bulk.
Turn scans into conversations
A QR code starts the chat. With the WhatsApp Business API you can answer instantly, qualify the visitor with a chatbot flow, assign the chat to an agent and keep the contact in the WhatsApp CRM. Prefer a link? Use the WhatsApp link generator, or add a chat button to your website. For a deeper guide, read WhatsApp API QR codes and click-to-chat automation.
