ℹ️ WhatsApp QR code feature is only available for users that are on Premium or Enterprise plan. 

 

The WhatsApp QR code feature simplifies communication by generating unique QR codes for each user. When customers scan a user’s QR code, they are instantly directed to a WhatsApp conversation with that user, eliminating the need for phone number sharing and ensuring seamless interactions.


What is a WhatsApp QR code?

A WhatsApp QR code is a tool that allows customers to start a conversation with a specific user by scanning their unique QR code. This feature enhances convenience and efficiency, enabling customers to connect with the right team member quickly without requiring a phone number.
