How it works
The QR encodes a wa.me link with your phone number in international format (for Australia: +61 followed by your number without the leading 0). Scanning it opens WhatsApp with a chat to your number ready to go — and if you set a pre-filled message like 'Hi, I'd like to book…', the customer only has to press send.
Where businesses use it
Shop windows and counters ('Order on WhatsApp'), vehicle signage, market stalls, service flyers, packaging inserts and social profiles. WhatsApp is where many customers already are — a QR removes the number-typing friction entirely.
Static or dynamic?
The generator above creates a free static WhatsApp QR — perfect if your number won't change. Choose the dynamic version (free for your first QR) if you want scan analytics or the ability to swap the number or move the code to a different destination later without reprinting.
