A PRACTICAL QR GUIDE

QR codes for WhatsApp

Open a conversation with your business number and an optional starting message. The visitor still decides whether to send it.

Static: A direct wa.me link can open the chat without our redirect service.

What to put behind the code

Your WhatsApp number in international format and a short introductory message.

Print for the place it will live

Starting size: 3 × 3 cm. This is a starting point, not a scanning guarantee. Keep the code close to readable contact information.

Print on a matte contact panel with room for the country code in text. Keep the four-module quiet zone intact and use dark modules on a light background. Read the print-size guide.

Where to place it

  • Service counter
  • Business card reverse
  • Delivery support insert

Mistakes to avoid

  • Using a number without a country code
  • Promising an automatic message send
  • Putting sensitive details in the prefilled text

Before committing to a print run

Print a proof on the final material. Scan it with more than one phone, from the normal viewing position. Check the opened destination while signed out and confirm it leads to the intended page or action. A readable fallback address or contact detail helps visitors who cannot scan.

Questions about whatsapp

Is a message sent automatically?
No. The link opens a conversation and may prefill text; the person confirms sending.
What should I test before printing?
Scan the final whatsapp artwork on more than one phone. Check the destination or imported details, the real viewing distance and the final printed surface.
