How to create a Whatsapp link using wa.me, bit.ly and linktree is actually very easy, especially for online shop business people, they already know a lot about how to create a Whatsapp link directly to chat to help increase their sales.

Currently, all WhatsApp users can chat on WhatsApp without saving the number first, using the WhatsApp link that is created directly to the chat destination number. This feature is very helpful for all WhatsApp users, especially online shop entrepreneurs.

The following is an example of a WhatsApp link directly to chat > https://wa.me/628512345678.

When you visit the link above, it will automatically open the WhatsApp application (if you click it on your cellphone) and be directed to the chat number. No need to chat, it’s just an example of using a fake number.

At this point, you might already be curious about how to create a WA link, okay, let’s get straight to it.

How to Create a WhatsApp Link

There are several ways that I will discuss in this tutorial on how to make WA links, ranging from the easiest to the most complicated but very efficient.

Generally, people create WhatsApp links like this:

https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=(tulis no hp dengan awalan 62)
Contoh: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=6285920561588

However, URLs like the one above are too long to post on social media. That’s why, now several tricks have emerged to shorten WhatsApp links.

The purpose of the link remains the same, namely to chat directly to the destination number. This method is usually used by online sellers. The Whatsapp chat link is aimed at potential buyers who will later order via Whatsapp.
