You can add a prefilled message using ?text=, which opens a chat with that message already typed. This tool builds and encodes the link for you so customers tap once and reach you on WhatsApp - handy for Instagram bios, Google listings, catalogues, and order buttons. ### Worked example A shop with number 9876543210 and a prefilled message 'Hi, I want to order from Sri Balaji Stores' produces https://wa.me/919876543210?text=Hi%2C%20I%20want%20to%20order%20from%20Sri%20Balaji%20Stores. Putting this link in the Instagram bio lets a customer tap it and land in a ready-to-send chat, skipping the step of saving your number. ## Frequently asked questions Do I need WhatsApp Business for this link to work? No. The wa.me link works with both a regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business number. WhatsApp Business just adds features like catalogues, quick replies, and a business profile, which are useful for shops. How do I format my number in the link? Use country code plus number with no plus sign, spaces, or leading zero. For India that is 91 followed by the 10-digit mobile, for example 919876543210. Can the customer edit the prefilled message? Yes. The prefilled text is only a starting draft; the customer can change it or delete it before sending. It simply saves them typing and tells you where the lead came from. Where should I put my WhatsApp link? Common high-traffic spots are your Instagram and Facebook bio, Google Business Profile, website order button, printed catalogue, and QR codes on packaging or the shop counter, so customers can reach you in one tap. ### Send invoices and updates on WhatsApp automatically Commmerce integrates WhatsApp Business API for invoices, order updates, and campaigns.
