WhatsApp link generator
Create a wa.me link that opens a WhatsApp chat with your business, with an optional pre-filled message. Use it in your Instagram bio, on your website, in ads and on your Google Business Profile.
With country code. UAE numbers starting with 05 get 971 added for you.
Works in English and Arabic. Customers can edit it before sending.
Your WhatsApp link
https://wa.me/971501234567?text=Hi!%20I'd%20like%20to%20order%20from%20your%20shop.
Button code for your website
<a href="https://wa.me/971501234567?text=Hi!%20I'd%20like%20to%20order%20from%20your%20shop." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chat with us on WhatsApp</a>
How a WhatsApp link works
WhatsApp's click-to-chat links use the format https://wa.me/ followed by your number in international format: country code first, with no plus sign, zeros, spaces, brackets or dashes. A UAE mobile number like 050 123 4567 becomes 971501234567.
Add ?text= and your message (URL-encoded) to pre-fill the chat. The customer still taps send, so it's their choice to message you. Arabic messages work too.
Where to use it
Put the link in your Instagram and TikTok bio, on product pages, in Google Business Profile, and in your payment-link messages. A pre-filled message like "Hi, I'd like to order the black abaya" tells you straight away what the customer wants.

Frequently asked questions
Is the WhatsApp link free?
Yes. wa.me links are a free WhatsApp feature and work with both the WhatsApp Business app and the WhatsApp Business Platform (API).
Why doesn't my link open the right chat?
Usually the number is missing its country code or still has a leading zero. For the UAE, start with 971 and drop the 0 from 05.
Can I use a landline?
Only if that number is registered on WhatsApp. Most UAE businesses use a mobile number for WhatsApp Business.
Do you store the numbers I enter?
No. The link is built in your browser and isn't sent to us.
