FAQ
Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?
No. WhatsApp QR codes work with normal WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business numbers as long as the number can receive WhatsApp messages.

Yes. Add a message before generating the code and the QR code will encode a wa.me link with that message included as the text parameter.
Can I use this QR code on flyers and packaging?
Yes. Download or copy the generated QR image URL and use it on printed materials, product inserts, event signs, menus, and business cards.
Is the phone number visible in the QR code link?
Yes. The QR code encodes a wa.me URL, so anyone who inspects the QR code can see the WhatsApp phone number. Use a business number if privacy matters.
