Question 3

Where can I use the generated QR code?

Accepted Answer

These QR codes are perfect for bridging your physical and digital marketing. You can download the code and add it to business cards, flyers, product packaging, restaurant menus, posters at events, or in-store displays. When a customer scans it, a WhatsApp chat with you will open on their phone.

Question 4

Is this different from the QR code inside the WhatsApp app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The QR code inside the app is primarily for adding contacts. This tool creates a QR code for the "click-to-chat" feature, which is better for business and marketing. It allows anyone, even people who don't have your number saved, to start a conversation with you instantly, and you can even prepare a starting message for them.

Question 5

Do these QR codes expire?

Accepted Answer

No, the QR codes generated by this tool are static and do not expire. They directly encode the wa.me link with your phone number. As long as your WhatsApp number is active, the QR code will continue to work forever.
