Why use SMS QR codes?
SMS QR codes bridge physical media and text messaging. When scanned, the phone opens the messaging app with the recipient number and message body pre-filled. Marketing teams use them for opt-in campaigns where customers scan to text a keyword. Nonprofits use them for donation drives. Event organizers use them for RSVP confirmations. The pre-filled message means users don't have to remember codes or numbers, dramatically increasing response rates compared to 'Text KEYWORD to 12345' campaigns.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pre-fill the text message?▾
Yes. You can set both the recipient phone number and a pre-filled message body. The person scanning can edit the message before sending. This is commonly used for keyword opt-in campaigns.
Does it work with iMessage and WhatsApp?▾
SMS QR codes use the standard sms: protocol, which opens the default messaging app on the phone (Messages on iPhone, Messages on Android). It does not open WhatsApp or other third-party messaging apps, only the native SMS client.
