WhatsApp QR code that opens a chat with the first message ready
Put in your number with the country code and, if you like, the sentence you want people to send you. Scanning opens WhatsApp with the chat open and the message waiting — the person only presses send.

Scanned code
- 01
Number with the country code
Digits only — 48 for Poland, 44 for the United Kingdom, 1 for the United States. No plus sign, no spaces, no brackets.
- 02
Write the opening sentence
“I would like to book a table for two” works better than an empty chat, because it saves the person the hardest part: starting.
- 03
Put it where people wait
The counter, the window, the invoice, the parcel. A code beside a queue collects more messages than a phone number on a sign.
Works without a business account
The code points at wa.me, WhatsApp's own address for opening a chat. Nothing to register, nothing to pay, works for a private number too.
The prepared message actually gets sent
Because the person does not have to think of a first sentence. That is the whole trick, and it is why prefilled codes get answers where bare numbers get silence.
Your number is not stored anywhere
The code is built inside this page. We do not see the number, so there is no list of numbers to leak or to sell.
It will still work in three years
Static code, no redirect, nothing to renew — unlike codes from services that route the scan through their own address.
Questions people ask
Do I need WhatsApp Business?
No. This works with an ordinary account. WhatsApp Business gives you its own code inside the app, but only for the account it belongs to, without a prepared message and without a file you can print at any size.
How do I write the number?
Country code and number, digits only: 48123456789. Do not put a plus, spaces, dashes or brackets — WhatsApp reads them as part of the number and the chat does not open.
Can the message contain emoji or several lines?
Yes. Both are encoded properly. Remember that every character makes the code denser: a long message means a bigger code, which needs a bigger print.
Does the person need to have my number saved?
No, and that is the point. The chat opens with you even if they have never had your number, and after the first message you appear in their WhatsApp as a normal conversation.
Will it work on a computer?
Yes, the same address opens WhatsApp Web. The person scanning with a phone gets the app; the person clicking on a computer gets the browser version.
