WeChat QR codes: what this generator makes
WeChat adds contacts through its own QR code, shown and scanned inside WeChat. A code from this WeChat QR code generator holds a web link instead: it opens your website, menu, booking page or contact page, and any phone camera can scan it.
So most businesses print both: WeChat's code to add you as a contact, and a QRplify code for everything else. This page covers each one.
Find your own WeChat QR code
- Open the Me tab: in WeChat.
- Tap your avatar: then My QR Code.
- Show it: the other person opens WeChat, taps + at the top right, then Scan.
WeChat's help calls scanning someone's QR code the fastest way to add them as a contact. People can also add you by searching your WeChat ID or phone number under +, then Add Contacts, so print your WeChat ID next to the code.
What a QRplify code adds for WeChat users
- Your website or shop: a code on your window, flyer or packaging opens your site in 1 scan.
- A menu or price list: visitors read it on their own phone, in each language your page offers.
- A contact page: 1 printed code opens a page with your WeChat ID next to WhatsApp, email and phone, so every visitor finds a channel they use.
- A booking or sign up form: for tours, tables, classes and trade fair meetings.
Print both codes without mixing them up
- Label each code: "Add us on WeChat" under WeChat's code, "Visit our website" under this one.
- Keep them apart: leave clear space between the 2 codes, so a camera locks on to 1 at a time.
- Test each one the way it is meant: WeChat's code with WeChat's Scan, this one with a phone camera.
- Print your WeChat ID too: a fallback for anyone whose scan fails.
When a dynamic code is worth it
A static code holds 1 link forever. That suits a website or a contact page you keep. A dynamic code is worth it when the page changes after printing:
- Seasonal pages: point the window code at this month's offer, then the next one.
- Trade fairs: 1 badge code opens your meeting form during the fair and your catalog afterwards.
- Scan counts: see when, where and on what device people scan, such as how many visitors a tour group sign brings.
A free QRplify account adds 1 dynamic QR code with 1,000 scans a month, and it never pauses. The static code above needs no account at all.
Where these QR codes work best
- Shops, hotels and restaurants: serving visitors who use WeChat, next to your other channels.
- Trade fairs and sales trips: business cards and badges with your WeChat ID and website.
- Schools and tour operators: trip details, parent updates and booking forms.
How to create it
- Paste the web page link: your website, menu, booking or contact page, into the field above.
- Style it: your colors and a frame label such as "Visit our website".
- Download: PNG or JPG for screens and messages, SVG for print at any size.
- Test before you print: scan it with 2 phone cameras, and scan WeChat's code with WeChat.
