WhatsApp QR Code Generator: Free QR Code That Opens a Chat

By Alva Chew 3 min read Updated November 11, 2026

Make a QR code that opens a WhatsApp chat with you. Enter your number and an optional pre-filled message, then download the QR code as an image. When a customer scans it with their phone camera, WhatsApp opens with your message ready to send. Free, no sign-up.

Your QR code appears here.


Where to put your WhatsApp QR code

  • Packaging and inserts: customers scan it when the parcel arrives, so questions about the order reach you in one chat.
  • Receipts and invoices: a quick route for reorders and after-sales questions.
  • Your shop counter, menu or booth: walk-in customers can keep the conversation going after they leave.
  • Flyers, posters and event banners: one scan starts a chat, with no number to type.

Use a different pre-filled message for each place, such as “Hi, I scanned the code on my parcel”, so you can tell where each chat came from.

Print tips

  • Print it at least 2 cm (about 0.8 in) wide, bigger if people scan it from a distance.
  • Keep plenty of white space around the code and print it dark on a light background.
  • Test the printed code with two or three different phones before a big print run.
  • Add a short line next to it, such as “Scan to chat with us on WhatsApp”.

When more chats start coming in

A QR code on every parcel means more messages, and most of them are the same few questions: where is my order, can I return this, do you have it in stock. AeroChat answers those for you on WhatsApp and your other channels, looks up the order in your store and finishes the job in the chat. Your team steps in only when a conversation needs a person. You can also make a plain link with our WhatsApp link generator.

Questions

Is this WhatsApp QR code generator free?

Yes. The code is made in your browser and needs no sign-up. We don’t store your number or message.

Does the QR code expire?

No. It holds a normal wa.me link to your number, so it keeps working as long as the number is on WhatsApp.

Will it work with WhatsApp Business?

Yes. It works with the WhatsApp app, WhatsApp Business and numbers on the WhatsApp Business API.

Can I change the message later?

The message is part of the code. To change it, make a new code here and print the new one.

Answer every chat your QR code brings in

AeroChat answers your customers on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok Shop, web chat and email, and finishes the job in the chat.
