Why use WhatsApp QR codes
Capture leads from offline
Turn foot traffic into online customers by placing QR codes at storefronts, events, and packaging.
Make it simple for customers to connect
No need to type a phone number - a quick scan starts a WhatsApp conversation instantly.
Track where leads come from
Add a unique pre-filled message to each QR code so you know exactly which location, campaign, or material drove the contact.
Best practices for WhatsApp QR codes
Match your brand style
Customise QR code colours to fit your brand identity and campaign theme. A consistent look builds trust and recognition.
Size for scannability
Keep QR codes at least 2 cm × 2 cm for print. There is no maximum - they can be billboard-sized - but always keep them square.
Include your logo nearby
Place your logo near or inside the QR code so people immediately know it belongs to your business and feel confident scanning.
Where to place your QR code
Posters and signs
Put codes on event posters, in-store signage, billboards, or bus-stop ads to convert passers-by into WhatsApp contacts.
Receipts and packaging
Drive repeat business by placing QR codes on receipts and packaging. Offer a discount when customers scan and send a message.
Brochures and menus
Print QR codes on brochures for events or in-store. Restaurants benefit by following up with promotions after a visit.
Business cards
A QR code on your business card lets contacts start a conversation with one scan - no manual number entry needed.
Where to use WhatsApp QR codes
Print materials
Add QR codes to business cards, flyers, brochures, and packaging so customers can chat instantly.
In-store displays
Place QR codes at checkout, on table tents, or on product shelves for quick customer support.
Event check-ins
Let attendees scan a QR code to RSVP, ask questions, or get event updates via WhatsApp.
