Creating a link for your business on Whatsapp is easy and not as complicated as you think. It actually is free once you have the Whatsapp business app, although there are platforms who offer this on premium basis. For those using iPhones, you can follow these simple steps:
1. Open the WhatsApp application on your iPhone.
2. Navigate to the Chats tab and tap on the New Chat icon in the top-right corner.
3. In the search bar, enter the phone number of your business. Make sure to include the country code and area code if applicable.
4. Once the number appears in the search results, tap on it to open a chat window with the desired number.
5. In the text input field at the bottom of the screen, type a message inviting customers to connect with your business on WhatsApp. For example, you could write something like, "Connect with us on WhatsApp to get exclusive updates and support."
6. Now, highlight the message you just wrote by long-pressing on it and selecting the Select All option from the menu that appears. Then, tap on the Copy option.
7. Exit the chat window by tapping on the back arrow icon in the top-left corner.
8. Open a web browser on your iPhone and go to any URL shortening website, such as bitly.com or tinyurl.com.
9. Paste the copied message into the URL shortening website's input box and generate a shortened link.
10. Now, you have a WhatsApp link for your business! You can use this link on your website, social media profiles, email signature, or any other place where you want customers to connect with you on WhatsApp.
When users click on this link, it will open a WhatsApp chat with the specified phone number. Meanwhile, they will need to have WhatsApp installed on their device for the link to work properly. It makes it easier for customers to reach out to you for inquiries, support, or even to place orders.
