3 Types of WhatsApp QR Codes Explained

📱 Chat QR (with pre-filled message)

When scanned, opens WhatsApp with your number selected and an optional pre-typed message ("Hi, I want to order…"). Best for shop signs, packaging, business cards.

🛒 Catalog QR

Opens your WhatsApp Business catalog directly — customer browses your products inside WhatsApp without leaving the chat. Requires WhatsApp Business app + catalog setup.

👥 Group Join QR

Direct link to join your WhatsApp group. Get the invite link from WhatsApp group → settings → invite link, then paste here. Useful for community marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a WhatsApp QR code?+

Pick a QR type (Chat, Catalog, or Group), enter your WhatsApp number with country code (e.g. 919876543210), optionally add a pre-filled message, and download. Print at minimum 2 cm × 2 cm. Test by scanning with two different phones before mass printing.

Is the WhatsApp QR static or dynamic?+

Static. The QR encodes a https://wa.me/[number] link directly — no third-party redirect, no analytics tracking, no expiry. Works forever as long as your WhatsApp number is active. Dynamic QRs (where you can change destination later) require paid services like Bitly or Beaconstac.

What if my customer doesn't have WhatsApp?+

If WhatsApp is not installed, scanning the QR opens wa.me/[number] in the phone browser, which prompts them to install WhatsApp. ~95% of Indian smartphone users already have WhatsApp installed, so this is rarely an issue.

Can I track scans?+

Static QR can't track. For analytics (scan count, location, time), use a paid dynamic-QR service. For most Indian shop owners, scan tracking isn't worth the monthly fee — measure success by inbound message count instead.

What format should I print at?+

Download SVG for any printed material (packaging, business cards, banners) — vectors scale without pixelation. PNG works for digital sharing. Minimum printed size: 2 cm × 2 cm. Always test-scan with two phones before mass printing.

What's the difference vs the generic QR generator?+

The generic QR generator handles any URL, text, UPI, WiFi, etc. This WhatsApp-specific tool guides you through the WhatsApp click-to-chat format and validates your number is in the right format (no plus sign, no spaces).
