Frequently asked questions

Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?

No. The QR code works with any WhatsApp account — personal or Business. A WhatsApp Business account adds auto-replies and catalog features but is not required.

Can I include a pre-filled message in the QR code?

Yes. When generating the QR code, you can add a default message that will appear in the chat input when the user scans it. Great for prompting customers.

What format does the phone number need to be in?

Include the full international number without spaces or dashes (e.g. 14155552671 for a US number). The + sign is optional.

Does the user need WhatsApp installed to use it?

Yes, WhatsApp must be installed on the user's device. If it is not installed, they will be redirected to download it from the App Store or Google Play.

Can I track how many people scanned my WhatsApp QR code?

Yes, with a dynamic QR code on a paid plan, you get full scan analytics: number of scans, country, device, time of day and more.
