Your WhatsApp number

Everything updates as you type.

Filled in when the chat opens. Customers can edit it before they send. Shorter messages make a QR code that's easier to scan.

How it works

Make a WhatsApp link in three steps.

  1. 1

    Enter your number

    Add your country code and WhatsApp business number. Spaces, dashes and brackets are fine.

  2. 2

    Add a starter message

    Optional. It's filled in when the chat opens, so customers know what to ask.

  3. 3

    Share the link or QR code

    Copy the wa.me link for your website and bios, or download the QR code as a PNG for print.

Why it matters

A chat link takes the effort out of the first message.

Customers who already use WhatsApp can reach you in one tap, without saving your number or typing it in.

Faster first contact

One tap opens the right chat. Nobody has to copy your number, open the app and start from scratch.

Better first messages

A starter message can ask for what you need, like the service, the address or a preferred time.

One link, many places

The same link works on your website, social profiles, quotes and follow-ups. Make it once and reuse it.

Where to use it

Put the link where customers already find you.

Website and social profiles

A contact button, a service page, an Instagram bio or your Facebook page. Anywhere a visitor might want to ask a quick question.

Counters, vans and flyers

Print the QR code on signs, vehicles, menus and handouts, so people can message you from where they're standing.

Quotes, invoices and follow-ups

Add the link to estimates and after-job emails, so customers have an easy way back to you.

FAQ

WhatsApp link questions.

Short answers about wa.me links, starter messages and QR codes.

How do I create a WhatsApp link?

Enter your country code and WhatsApp number above. The tool builds a link in the form https://wa.me/ followed by your full number in digits only. Add a starter message if you like, then copy the link or download the QR code.

Does a WhatsApp link work if the customer hasn't saved my number?

Yes. A wa.me link opens a chat with your number whether or not the customer has it saved. On a phone it opens the WhatsApp app. On a computer it offers WhatsApp Web or the desktop app.

How do I add a message to a WhatsApp link?

Type it in the starter message box. The tool adds it to the link as text= and encodes spaces and punctuation so it arrives intact. The message is ready in the chat box when it opens, and the customer can change it before sending.

What format does the phone number need?

WhatsApp needs the full international number: country code first, then the number, digits only, with no + and no leading 0. You don't have to format it yourself. The tool removes spaces, dashes and brackets and drops the leading 0 used for local calls.

How do I use the WhatsApp QR code?

Download it as a PNG and print it on a counter sign, your van, flyers, menus or receipts. Scanning it with a phone camera opens the same chat as the link. Test a scan before you print, and keep the starter message short so the code stays easy to read.

Is the WhatsApp link generator free?

Yes. It's free with no sign-up, and the link and QR code are made right in your browser. A wa.me link has no expiry date. It keeps working as long as the number is on WhatsApp.
