How to Create a WhatsApp QR Code
A WhatsApp QR code can open a chat link so customers can message you faster.
Quick answer
Create a WhatsApp QR code by building a WhatsApp click-to-chat link, turning that link into a QR code, and placing it on posters, packaging, menus, or storefronts. Use a dynamic QR code if you want to track scans or change the WhatsApp number later.
