Common questions
How does the QR open a chat?
The code encodes a wa.me link containing your number. Scanning it opens WhatsApp with a new chat to that number already staged.
Does it need a special instance or 'WaMe' code?
No — the wa.me link form works for any WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business user with no extra account.
Does it work on desktop?
Yes — scanning on a phone opens WhatsApp; opening the link in a desktop browser invites the chat window without adding the number first.
Can I pre-fill a message?
Yes. Add ?text=Your+message to the wa.me link and the chat opens with that text ready to send.
Do I need WhatsApp Business?
No — personal WhatsApp works too. WhatsApp Business just adds features like quick replies and catalogs.
What if I change my number?
Create a new QR with the updated number. Old codes stop working, so replace printed versions.
