Free WhatsApp Link and QR Code Generator

Make a WhatsApp link and QR code for your business in a few seconds. Enter your number with its country code, or your WhatsApp username, and, if you like, a message for customers to send you. You get a wa.me link to copy and a QR code to download. It is free, there is no sign-up, and nothing you type leaves your browser.

How a WhatsApp link works

A WhatsApp link is a web address in the form https://wa.me/ followed by your full international number. When someone taps it on a phone, WhatsApp opens a chat with you. On a computer it opens WhatsApp Web or the desktop app.

The number is written as digits only: country code first, then the number, with no plus sign, spaces, dashes or leading zero. A Singapore number +65 9123 4567 becomes https://wa.me/6591234567 (example).

If you add a message, it goes on the end as ?text= followed by the message, encoded for the web. The customer sees it already typed in the chat box and only has to press send. The generator above does the encoding for you.

If your business has a WhatsApp username, the link can use it instead: https://wa.me/ followed by your username, for example https://wa.me/yourbusiness (example). Customers reach you without seeing or saving your number. WhatsApp is rolling usernames out gradually, so this works once usernames are live on your account.

The QR code holds the same link. Anyone who scans it with their phone camera opens the same chat. The link and the QR code never expire, and they keep working as long as the number is on WhatsApp.

Where to use your WhatsApp link and QR code

• Instagram, TikTok and Facebook bios. Paste the link so followers can message you on WhatsApp in one tap.
• Your website. Put it behind a "Chat on WhatsApp" button on product, contact and booking pages.
• Email signatures and invoices. Customers with a question reply on WhatsApp instead of waiting on email.
• Packaging, receipts and flyers. Print the QR code so customers can ask about their order or reorder.
• In store and at events. Put the QR code on the counter, table cards or your booth so people can message you before they leave.

Use a different pre-filled message in each place, such as "Hi, I scanned the QR on my parcel", so your team can see where each chat came from.

Pre-filled messages that work

A good pre-filled message tells you what the customer wants before you reply. Copy one of these into the message box above.

• Hi, I'd like to book an appointment.
• Hi, I'm asking about my order.
• Hi, is this item in stock?
• Hi, I'd like a quote.
• Hi, I saw your post and want to know more.

What happens after customers tap the link

The link starts the chat. What turns that chat into a booking or a sale is how fast and how well it is answered. A link on a busy Instagram bio can bring more messages than a small team can answer quickly, and the customers who wait often go elsewhere.

AeroChat answers on the same WhatsApp number at any hour. It checks your booking system and books the slot, looks up orders in your store, takes payment with a link in the chat, and hands the conversation to your team when a person is needed. It does this on Instagram, Messenger, TikTok, Telegram, web chat and email too, because it is chat infrastructure that connects to the systems you already use.

• Book appointments on WhatsApp, directly into your booking system. See the 60 booking systems AeroChat books into.
• Take a deposit in the same chat before a booking is confirmed.
• Every WhatsApp workflow, ready to copy.

Questions

Is the WhatsApp link generator free?

Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no limit. The link and QR code are yours to use anywhere.

Do the link and QR code expire?

No. They hold your number and message directly, so they keep working as long as the number is on WhatsApp. There is no redirect in between that could stop.

Does it work with WhatsApp Business and the WhatsApp Business API?

Yes. A wa.me link works for any number on WhatsApp, whether it runs on the WhatsApp app, the WhatsApp Business app or the WhatsApp Business API.

Can I use my WhatsApp username instead of my number?

Yes. Switch the generator to Username and enter your username without the @. You get a wa.me link and QR code that open a chat with you by username. WhatsApp is rolling usernames out gradually, so the link works once usernames are live on your account. For a pre-filled message, use a number link, since WhatsApp documents pre-filled messages for number links.

Do you see or store my number?

No. The link and the QR code are made in your browser. Nothing you type, number or username, is sent to AeroChat.

Why does my link open the wrong number or say the number is not on WhatsApp?

Usually the country code is missing, or the number still has its leading 0. Enter the country code first, then the number without the 0. For example, a UK number 07700 900123 becomes 447700900123 (example).

Can I change the message later?

The message is part of the link, so a new message means a new link and QR code. Make a new one above and replace the old one where you use it.
