Frequently Asked Questions: WhatsApp QR Codes
Everything you need to know about FreeQRStore and generating QR codes.
How does the WhatsApp QR code work?
The QR code encodes a standard WhatsApp click-to-chat deep link (wa.me). When scanned by any smartphone camera, WhatsApp opens directly to a chat window with your specified phone number and optional pre-filled message.
Does the scanner need to save my phone number in their contacts first?
No! One of the biggest advantages of WhatsApp wa.me links is that users do NOT need to save your phone number to their contacts before starting a chat with you.
Do I need to include the plus sign (+) in the country code?
When generating the QR code, omit any plus signs, spaces, dashes, or brackets. Only enter numbers (e.g. 1 for US, 44 for UK, 91 for India followed by your mobile number). Our generator cleans and formats the input automatically.
Can I include a pre-filled greeting message?
Yes! You can enter a default text such as "Hi, I would like to inquire about your services." When the user scans the code, this message appears pre-typed in their chat input box ready to send.
