Can I see how many people scanned my WhatsApp QR code?
Updated 1 October 2026
No. For WhatsApp Business Platform QR codes and short links, Meta says analytics are not available, to protect user privacy.
- Why: Meta limits the data it logs to protect user privacy.
- Workaround: give each poster, table or flyer its own QR code with its own pre-filled message, such as a code word.
- Count the chats that arrive with each message.
- Pre-filled text: up to 140 characters, and you can update or delete it at any time.
See what customers actually order
Your own ordering website and QR code send customers to the menu. The orders dashboard, with basic analytics, shows what actually gets ordered.
