How do I make a WhatsApp QR code for my restaurant?
Updated 30 September 2026

- The code comes with your account. You don't need a separate tool.
- It won't expire unless you reset it or delete your WhatsApp Business account.
- Print it on storefront signage or table tents. Don't reset it after printing.
- On the API, one number can have up to 2,000 QR codes and short links, each with a pre-filled message of up to 140 characters.
