What is a WhatsApp click-to-chat link?

A click-to-chat link opens a WhatsApp chat with your number, even if the customer hasn’t saved it. It looks like https://wa.me/919876543210. It works on phones and on computers (through WhatsApp Web or the desktop app), and you can add a message that’s already typed in for the customer, so they only need to press send.

Where to use your link and QR code

  • Your website: as a “Chat on WhatsApp” button (copy the button code above).
  • Instagram and Facebook bio, and your Google Business Profile.
  • Printed material: visiting cards, menus, shop counters, packaging and flyers. Use the QR code here.
  • Email signatures and online ads.

Tips that get more chats

  • Pre-fill a helpful message. “Hi! I’d like to book an appointment” tells you what the customer wants before you reply, and makes it easier for them to start.
  • Use different messages in different places, such as “Hi, I saw your Instagram” and “Hi, I scanned your menu”, so you know where each chat came from.
  • Print the QR big enough: at least 2.5 cm wide on a card, and larger on a poster. Download the SVG for printing; it stays sharp at any size.
  • Test before printing. Scan the QR with your own phone first.
  • Use WhatsApp Business (free) for a business profile, quick replies and an away message for after hours.

How the link works

The number goes in with the country code and without “+”, spaces or a leading 0. For India that’s 91 followed by your 10-digit mobile number. A message is added as ?text= followed by your words, encoded for the web. This tool does all of that for you. The link and QR code never expire, because they’re just your number and message.

FAQ

Common questions

Do my link and QR code expire?
No. They contain only your number and message, so they keep working as long as your WhatsApp number is active.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. The link works for both normal WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business numbers.
Do you see my number or message?
No. The link and QR code are made in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to our servers.
Can I change the message later?
The message is part of the link, so a new message needs a new link and QR code. If you print the QR, consider leaving the message short and general.
Why doesn’t the link open a chat on my computer?
On a computer, the link opens WhatsApp Web or the WhatsApp desktop app. You’ll need to be logged in to WhatsApp there.
