Questions
What is a WhatsApp click-to-chat link?
It is a link in the form wa.me/number that opens a chat with that number in WhatsApp, on a phone or on WhatsApp Web, without the person saving the number first.
How do I write the phone number?
Use the full international number: the country code, then the number without its leading 0. For example, a Sri Lankan mobile 077 123 4567 becomes +94 77 123 4567, and a UAE mobile 050 123 4567 becomes +971 50 123 4567.
Can I add a message that is already typed?
Yes. Type it in the message box. It appears in the chat ready to send, and the person can change it before sending.
Where can I use the QR code?
On posters, menus, packaging, business cards, invoices and shop windows. Scanning it with a phone camera opens the chat. Download it as a PNG image and place it like any picture.
Does the link or QR code expire?
No. It works for as long as the phone number is on WhatsApp.
Is my number stored?
No. The link and the QR code are made in your browser. The number and message are not sent to this website.
