How to Create a WhatsApp Link for Your Online Shop

If you run an online shop, every second of friction between a customer seeing your product and contacting you costs you a sale. A WhatsApp link built specifically for orders eliminates that friction — one tap, and the customer lands in your WhatsApp with an order message pre-filled and ready to send.

Why online shops need a dedicated WhatsApp link

Sharing just your phone number is not enough. The customer has to open their contacts, save the number, open WhatsApp, find the contact, and then figure out what to type. Most will not bother. A WhatsApp order link collapses all those steps into one: click, open WhatsApp, send.

More importantly, a well-crafted pre-filled message captures the context your team needs to respond fast. Instead of "Hi," the customer sends: "Hi, I'd like to order [product] — please send me the details." Your team can respond with price, stock, and delivery info immediately.

How to create a WhatsApp order link for your shop

1. Go to waurl.online.
2. Enter your WhatsApp number with the country code.
3. In the message field, write your order prompt — for example: "Hi! I'd like to place an order. Product: [name]. Quantity: [number]. Delivery to: [address]."
4. Click Generate.
5. Copy the link and place it on your product pages, social media bio, or broadcast messages.

Crafting the perfect pre-filled order message

Your pre-filled message is the most important part of your WhatsApp order link. It should guide the customer without being so long they delete it. A good template:

• States the intent clearly — "I'd like to order"
• Has blank fields the customer fills in — product name, quantity, size, color
• Feels natural to send — not robotic or overly formal

Example for a clothing shop: "Hi! I'd like to order the [product name], size [S/M/L/XL], color [color]. Delivery to [city]. Please confirm availability and price."

Where to put your WhatsApp order link

• Instagram bio — the first and most-clicked link for shoppers
• Each product post caption — "Order via WhatsApp: [link]"
• Facebook shop — as the contact button or in each product description
• TikTok bio — especially effective for impulse-buy products
• Broadcast messages to existing customers — announce new stock with a ready-to-use order link
• Packaging inserts — a QR code so repeat customers reorder without searching for you

Tracking which channel drives the most orders

If you place your WhatsApp link on multiple channels, create a separate short link for each one in WaUrl. Name them clearly: waurl.online/s/ig-shop, waurl.online/s/fb-shop, waurl.online/s/tiktok-shop. Each link points to the same WhatsApp number but tracks clicks independently — so you know exactly which channel earns the most orders.

WhatsApp order link vs. a full e-commerce store

A WhatsApp order link is not a replacement for a proper storefront, but it is faster and cheaper to set up. For shops that are just starting out or run primarily through social media, it is often the most practical first step. You can always add a full website later — in the meantime, a well-placed WhatsApp link lets you take orders today.
