What does a customer see if I delete a WhatsApp QR code I already printed?
Updated 4 October 2026
They see a message that the QR code has expired, and they cannot start a chat from it.
- Expired: a deleted QR code or short link shows 'This QR code has expired'.
- Do not delete a code that is still printed on tables, menus or packaging.
- Make the new code first, replace the printed copies, then remove the old one.
- Keep a list of where each code is placed.
One QR that keeps working
A Menuthere QR code opens your restaurant's ordering page, and you can reprint or swap it without leaving customers unable to order.
