How to Create a WhatsApp Link for Your Business (Free, 2026)

A WhatsApp link lets a customer open a chat with your business in one tap, with no need to save your number first. This guide shows you exactly how to create one for free and where to use it to get more enquiries.

What is a WhatsApp link?

A WhatsApp link, also called a wa.me or click-to-chat link, is a URL that opens a conversation with a specific number when clicked. It looks like https://wa.me/2348012345678. You can even add a message that is already typed out for the customer.

How to create your WhatsApp link

You do not need any technical skill. Use our free WhatsApp Link Generator and follow these steps:

• Choose your country code (it works for any country)
• Enter your WhatsApp number without the leading zero
• Optionally add a pre-filled message like "Hi, I'd like to place an order"
• Copy your link and share it anywhere

Where to use your WhatsApp link

• In your Instagram and TikTok bio
• As a "Chat on WhatsApp" button on your website
• In your email signature
• On printed flyers and business cards, paired with a QR code

Why a pre-filled message helps

When the customer already sees a message typed for them, it removes hesitation and starts the conversation faster. Use it to qualify leads, for example "Hi, I saw your skincare range and I want to order."
