A WhatsApp link lets customers message you in one tap, without saving your number. It is popular for small businesses, shops, freelancers and support.
Quick answer
Type the phone number with the country code and an optional message. The tool builds a wa.me link that opens a chat with that number and the message already filled in.
The link format
https://wa.me/8801712345678?text=Hello%2C%20I%20want%20to%20order- The number has no plus sign, no spaces and no leading zeros: country code first (880 for Bangladesh) then the number without its starting 0.
- The message is URL-encoded; the tool does that for you.
Steps
- Enter the number with country code.
- Write the prefilled message.
- Copy the link.
- Use it where you need it.
Where to place it
- Website button and footer.
- Instagram and Facebook bio.
- Email signature.
- QR code printed on shop signs and menus (use the QR Code Generator).
- Ads that send people to chat.
Tips
- Keep the message short, such as "Hi, I saw your product X. Is it available?".
- Add a product name or ID so you know what they are asking about.
- Use a dedicated business number and WhatsApp Business.
- Be ready to reply fast; people expect quick answers.
- Do not message people who have not asked; spam can get a number blocked.
