Best practices and useful tips

What does a WhatsApp QR code contain?

The code points to a WhatsApp chat action using the intended phone number and optional message information. It does not replace the WhatsApp account itself.

Why is the country code important?

WhatsApp contact links generally need the phone number in an appropriate international format. Check the number carefully and test the resulting chat link.

How should businesses use it?

Give customers a clear reason to scan, such as asking a question, requesting a quote, checking availability, or contacting support. Avoid misleading labels.
