In this short article we will show you two ways to generate a WhatsApp QR code that your company can use and share with its clients
A QR code is a special code that contains text. It is basically a square made up of white and black small squares arranged differently, depending on the information it contains.
The QR code has been designed to be quickly read and interpreted through the camera of a smartphone or tablet, and to contain more information than a simple barcode.
A WhatsApp QR code is a quick reply code that allows users to add contact information without having to type and save the phone number in their address book.
This technology is not only practical and functional for personal use, but it is extremely interesting for company use. It is specifically interesting for all those businesses that manage customer service, order logistics or technical support through Whatsapp.
This is an easy-to-implement option that allows your customers to get in touch with your operators, hassle-free, and without having to waste time adding their contact information on WhatsApp.
