A WhatsApp QR code opens a chat with your number and puts your opening message in the box. The customer adds the detail you need and taps send. Nothing is sent by the scan itself.

Hi Lantern, I’d like to order for collection at
Fictional business on a reserved 555 number. The sign’s code is real and opens this draft; the phone is drawn to show the moment before sending, not a screenshot of WhatsApp.
A static code holds the link itself. A dynamic code holds a short QR Rapid link that forwards to it, so the number and message can change after printing and scans are counted.
The camera reads a standard wa.me link: your number and the message. No app from QR Rapid is involved.
A chat with your number, not a search or a profile page. The opening line sits in the message box, ready to edit.
Until then, you receive nothing. The customer reads it, adds their detail, and sends it from their own account.
The code fills in the first part of each message. The customer adds the underlined part, then sends. Each sign below carries a working code for its own fictional number.

Fictional businesses and conversations. Every code opens a real draft to a reserved 555 number; nothing is sent until the person taps send.
The pre-filled message is the useful part of the code. Written well, it turns “Hi” and three rounds of questions into a chat you can close with one answer.
Enter your number with its country code (the form has a country picker) and make sure that number is registered on WhatsApp. A WhatsApp Business number works the same way. Scanning your own printed proof is the quickest check.
A sign, a branch, a product. “I’m at the Dock Street counter” tells your team which sign was scanned without asking.
One question your team can answer in a single reply. It also tells the customer what the chat is for.
Finish with the detail you need most, so the customer types straight after your text: a time, a ticket number, a question.
Two sentences at most. A static code holds up to 500 characters, a dynamic one up to 1,000, and people read it before sending.
How the chat opens, what customers see, and what you can change later.
No. Scanning opens a WhatsApp chat with your number and the message already in the text box. Nothing reaches you until the person taps send, and they can edit the message first.
The code is a standard wa.me link, so it still opens. Phones without WhatsApp are offered a way to open or install it. Printing “Message us on WhatsApp” beside the code tells people what to expect before they scan.
Yes. The code only contains a phone number and a message, so a number registered on WhatsApp Business works exactly like a personal one. Enter it with its country code.
Up to 500 characters on a static code and up to 1,000 on a dynamic code. One or two short sentences work best: people read the message before sending, and a shorter message keeps a static code easier to scan.
Only on a dynamic code, from your dashboard. A static code holds the wa.me link in the pattern itself, so a new number or message means a new code.
Chats arrive in WhatsApp on the phone that owns the number, and QR Rapid never sees them. A dynamic code shows total scans, estimated unique visitors, countries, cities, operating systems, devices and scan activity over time, never message content or names.
No. A WhatsApp QR code opens a one-to-one chat with a single phone number. For a team, use a shared business number or a separate code for each location.
