How to create a WhatsApp link

A WhatsApp link (also called a click-to-chat or wa.me link) opens a chat with your number when someone taps it, even if they haven't saved your number. The format is https://wa.me/<number>?text=<message>, where the number includes the country code with no +, spaces or leading zero.

  1. 1

    Enter your number

    Pick the country code and type your WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business number. Spaces, dashes and a leading 0 are removed for you.

  2. 2

    Write a starter message

    Add the text your customer should send, like "I want to place an order". It tells you where the chat came from.

  3. 3

    Share the link or QR

    Put the link in your Instagram bio, ads, emails and website, and print the QR code on packaging or in your store.

Frequently asked questions

What is a WhatsApp link? expand_more
A short web link in the form wa.me/<number> that opens a WhatsApp chat with that number. Anyone who taps it can message you without saving your number first, on phone or WhatsApp Web.
Is this WhatsApp link generator free? expand_more
Yes. It's free with no sign-up and no limit on how many links or QR codes you create. The link itself is a standard WhatsApp feature, so it never expires.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business? expand_more
Yes. wa.me links work the same way for WhatsApp, the WhatsApp Business app and numbers on the WhatsApp Business API.
How do I add a pre-filled message to a WhatsApp link? expand_more
Add ?text= followed by your URL-encoded message, for example wa.me/919876543210?text=Hi%20there. This tool encodes the message for you, including emojis and non-English text.
Why does my WhatsApp link say the number isn't on WhatsApp? expand_more
Usually the country code is missing or there's an extra 0 in front of the number. The number must be the full international format without +, spaces or a leading zero, for example 919876543210 for an Indian number.
Can I track how many people click my WhatsApp link? expand_more
WhatsApp doesn't report clicks on wa.me links. Use a different pre-filled message per channel (for example "Hi, I saw your Instagram ad") to see where chats come from, or use a WhatsApp platform like WALoops that tags conversations automatically.
How do I add a WhatsApp chat button to my website? expand_more
Copy the website button HTML above and paste it into your site. On Shopify or WooCommerce, WALoops also adds a floating chat button and replies to the chats automatically.
