We are already aware of how Whatsapp is the best platform for Business communication.
It is also established that due to WhatsApp’s opt-in policy, a business needs to get users to connect with them on Whatsapp, in order to engage them on the platform.
There are a lot of ways to collect Opt-ins from customers, Starting from links to manually filled contact forms, WhatsApp links, website widgets and so on.
Convenient and one click away.
The only limitation to these quick response links is that they are just one click away. Ergo they can only be found online.
Luckily, these are not the only click-to-chat links available to us.
One of the most easily accessible and portable quick-response WhatsApp links is the WhatsApp QR Code. This unique code can be used for saving contacts, starting a conversation, and even adding people to a group. Everything with a single scan.
To top it all off,
Generating a Whatsapp QR code is effortless.
How to Generate a WhatsApp QR Code?
WhatsApp Business QR Codes are the easiest way for customers to be able to find and reach your business. It is unique and will only expire if you delete or reset your account on WhatsApp Business.
There are different steps to generate a Whatsapp QR code depending on your OS and Intention.
Generate a WhatsApp QR code with Android:
