Where to use your WhatsApp link

A WhatsApp link turns any button, post or poster into a chat with you. Common places businesses use it:

  • Facebook and Instagram ads: as the link on a "Send message" style ad, or in the post text.
  • Instagram and TikTok bio: one tap from your profile to a chat.
  • Your website: a floating chat button or a "WhatsApp us" button next to your prices.
  • Print: the QR code on your shop counter, menu, flyer, packaging or business card.

Write the ready message from the customer's side, and make it specific ("I want the price for…"). It tells you which ad or product they came from.

Questions about this tool

Is the link from WhatsApp itself?

Yes. It uses WhatsApp's own click-to-chat address, wa.me. Tapping it opens a chat with your number in the WhatsApp app or WhatsApp Web, with your message already typed.

Does the customer need to save my number?

No. The link opens the chat straight away without saving the number first.

Does the QR code expire?

No. The QR code simply holds the wa.me link, so it works as long as your number is on WhatsApp. If you change the message, make a new code.

Should I use it in Facebook and Instagram ads?

Yes, as the button link or in the post text. Add UTM tags only to website links, not to wa.me links, since WhatsApp does not pass them on.
