Your code appears here

Type your WhatsApp number above and the link and live QR build themselves — pick a message, a dress, and where it will live. Copying the link is always free.

Sellers also ask

Will the QR still scan with my logo in the middle?

Yes — the moment a logo goes on, we switch the code to its highest error-correction level (H), which is built to survive about 30% of the symbol being covered, and we cap the logo well under that. We also refuse logos on tiny tag-insert codes, where no logo is safe. Test-scan one print before ordering a thousand — we say that on the download too.

Do I need WhatsApp Business for a wa.me link?

No. wa.me links open a chat with any WhatsApp number — personal or Business. Business does add a shop profile and catalogue on your side, which looks more professional when the customer lands, but the link and QR from this tool work the same either way.

What is the correct wa.me link format for an Indian mobile number?

https://wa.me/919876543210 — the country code and the 10-digit mobile joined together, with no plus sign, no leading zero, no spaces and no dashes. A stray 0 or + in front is the most common reason a link opens WhatsApp and then goes nowhere. Paste the number however you have it saved; this tool strips those characters and checks that an Indian mobile is 10 digits starting 6, 7, 8 or 9.

Can the WhatsApp link open with a message already typed in?

Yes. The message rides in the link after ?text= and lands in the customer's chat box ready to send, and they can edit it before sending. Tap one of the ready lines — asking for today's gold rate, or about a piece — or write your own up to 2,048 characters. Keep it short for codes going on tags: a longer message makes the code denser.

How big should the WhatsApp QR be on a counter card compared with a jewellery tag?

A QR scans comfortably from about 10 times its printed width, so a 40 mm code on a counter card reads from roughly 40 cm — arm's length across the counter. A 45 × 12 mm tag insert only has room for a 10 mm code, so that one is a close-up scan and prints without a logo. Keep printed modules above 0.4 mm, and test-scan one print before ordering a batch.

My wa.me link says the number is invalid — what is wrong?

Usually the number still carries something wa.me will not accept: a plus sign, a leading 0, spaces, dashes, or no country code at all. The link needs 91 followed by the 10 digits and nothing else. The other cause is a number not registered on WhatsApp — a landline, or a SIM you never set WhatsApp up on. Open your own link on a phone to check which it is.

How many QR downloads do I get on the free plan?

Three downloads a day. Copying your wa.me link never counts against that, so you can paste it into your Instagram bio, parcel inserts and broadcasts as often as you like. Free covers the two plain designs, Ivory and Heirloom, as a 1200 × 1200 PNG. Tools Pro adds five designed codes, your logo on the code, the print-ready files and saved numbers.
