WhatsApp Click-to-Chat and QR Code Generator

WhatsApp Click-to-Chat is a convenient way for customers, followers, or other stakeholders to contact you via WhatsApp without needing to save your WhatsApp number. In this article, we explain how Click-to-Chat works.

Tip:
We have developed a WhatsApp Click-to-Chat generator to make it as easy as possible for you to create Click to Chat links or QR codes.

How to create your own Click-to-Chat link

The first part of any WhatsApp Click-to-Chat link is always the same: https://wa.me/[WhatsApp-number]. It's important not to use any zeros, parentheses, or dashes in the WhatsApp number.

Example:
The WhatsApp number of Saysimple is +31 023 554 67 66. As a Click-to-Chat link, it looks like this: https://wa.me/31235546766

Do not use: https://wa.me/+310235546766 or https://wa.me/00310235546766

Click-to-Chat with a predefined message

You can also include a predefined message in the Click-to-Chat link. You do this by adding “?text=” after the URL. Between words, do not use spaces, but “%20”.

Example:
The text "Hello Saysimple" looks like this:

https://wa.me/31235546766?text=Hello%20Saysimple

Click-to-Chat in practice

You can then use the Click to Chat links on your website under a button or behind a QR code, for example. When the QR code is scanned from a mobile phone, a WhatsApp conversation opens immediately.
