When to use a WhatsApp QR code
WhatsApp QR codes work well for customer support, restaurant reservations, personal trainers, small shops, and market stalls. Scanning opens the WhatsApp app or WhatsApp Web with your number loaded.
The optional message field saves your customers from typing the same intro every time. That makes it easier for them to reach you and more likely you will hear back.
- Shop windows: "Scan to order on WhatsApp"
- Business cards: direct line to your sales chat
- Product packaging: warranty or support requests
- Event booths: quick lead capture
- Flyers and posters: booking and questions
