How it works

From poster to conversation in three steps

  1. 01

    Create

    Add your WhatsApp number and a prefilled message like “Hi, I'd like a quote for…”. Pick a short name such as walink.in/sharma-sweets.

  2. 02

    Share & print

    Put the link in your Instagram bio, Google profile and ads. Print the QR on bills, boxes and standees.

  3. 03

    Measure & improve

    See clicks by day, source and device. Double down on what works, and update the destination anytime.

Print once, edit forever

Your QR code keeps working when your number changes.

A plain wa.me QR is frozen the moment it's printed. A WALink QR points to your short link, so you can switch the number, reword the greeting or pause the link — without touching a single printed box or banner.

  • Change destination number or message anytime
  • Pause a link when an offer ends
  • Set an expiry date for seasonal campaigns
  • Separate QR scans from link clicks in analytics

Built for India's businesses

However your customers find you, start the chat in one tap

Retail & kirana

A counter QR that opens “I'd like to order…” — and a link you can update when the number changes.

Coaching & schools

Separate links for each brochure, banner and admission drive, so you know which one worked.

Real estate

One link per project or listing with the property name prefilled for faster follow-up.

Restaurants & cafés

Table-tent QR codes for orders and reservations that stay scannable after a wipe-down.

Freelancers

walink.in/yourname on your profile, invoices and visiting card — looks professional, costs nothing.

D2C & e-commerce

Product-specific messages from Instagram bios and ads, tracked with UTM campaigns.

Honest analytics

We count clicks. We don't invent conversations.

Many tools call every click a “lead”. WALink keeps clicks, form submissions, delivered messages and sales as separate events — and only shows a number when we can actually verify it.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is the WhatsApp link generator really free?+

Yes. Creating wa.me links and QR codes is free and needs no account. A free account adds 5 branded short links with click analytics.

Do I need the WhatsApp Business API?+

No. WALink links use WhatsApp's standard click-to-chat, which works with the regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business apps. The optional ChatGrow integration is only for sending automated, approved messages.

What happens to my printed QR code if my number changes?+

If the QR points to a WALink short link, just edit the destination number in your dashboard. The QR and the link stay the same, so nothing needs reprinting.

Does a click mean a customer messaged me?+

No — and we never pretend it does. A click means someone opened your link. Whether they sent a message happens inside WhatsApp, which we can't see. We report clicks honestly, and only show delivered messages when an integration confirms them.

What data do you collect about people who click?+

Only coarse, privacy-friendly information: time, device type, browser family, country, referring website and campaign tags. We never store IP addresses or the visitor's phone number.

Can I self-host WALink?+

Yes. WALink is open source under the Apache-2.0 licence and runs anywhere Node.js and MySQL run.

Your next customer is one tap away.
