What is a WhatsApp QR code?
A WhatsApp QR code encodes a wa.me click-to-chat link built from your number and an optional first message. When someone scans it, WhatsApp opens a conversation with you ready to send, which turns any sign, flyer, or product into a direct line for questions, orders, and support.
How WhatsApp QR codes work in Crafty QR
Static or dynamicBecause a WhatsApp code is really a wa.me link, a static version writes that link into the pattern and opens the chat instantly, with no setup on your side beyond having WhatsApp. Making it dynamic encodes a short craftyqr.com/r/ link that opens a Crafty QR page with an Open WhatsApp button and logs every scan, so you can change the number or starter message later and track how many chats the code drives. Use static for the most direct tap to chat, or dynamic when you want editing and analytics.
