How do I get my first WhatsApp orders?
Updated 9 October 2026
Start with people who already know you. Put your WhatsApp number or link on your menu, bag, Google profile and shop door, and message your regulars one by one.
- Make it one tap: a wa.me link can open a chat with a message already typed, such as "I want to order".
- Print a QR code for the door, counter, table tents and packaging. A WhatsApp Business QR code does not expire unless you reset it.
- Add the number to your Google profile. WhatsApp then shows a chat button in Google Search and Maps.
- Message regulars yourself and tell them they can now order on WhatsApp. Answer the first orders fast and confirm each clearly.
