Help & FAQ

Yes. The text formatter, the link & QR maker, greeting cards, the Status maker and the auto-reply kit are free, with no account needed. A free account (sign in with Google) adds 10 saved contacts, 2 templates of your own, birthday reminders, 5 open tasks, 3 drafts for review, a business page, 2 open events with replies and 1 shared checklist.

If you need more, Starter (US$1.99 a month) and Pro (US$4.99 a month) give you more contacts, templates, tasks, drafts and events, the Reminder list for reminding many people one by one, and cards and Status pictures without the www.wah-kit.com mark. They are fixed prices, with no charge per message, and paying yearly costs less. See Plans & pricing.

No. Wah-Kit works in your web browser on any phone, tablet or computer. Just open wah-kit.com.

No. Wah-Kit is an independent website that helps you prepare messages. It is not made by or connected with WhatsApp or Meta.

No. Wah-Kit only opens WhatsApp with your message ready. You always tap send, from your own WhatsApp. Nothing is ever sent without you.

No. Wah-Kit has no access to your WhatsApp account, chats or contacts.

That is WhatsApp’s formatting code. When you paste into WhatsApp, it turns *text* into bold and _text_ into italics once the message is sent (and often while you type). If you paste somewhere else, such as an email, you will see the marks; use Copy for Word for those places instead.

Copy for WhatsApp gives WhatsApp’s stars-and-underscores code. Copy for Word keeps real formatting for Word, Google Docs, Outlook or Gmail. Copy for Telegram keeps the formatting when you paste into Telegram on a computer or the web, and on a phone gives Telegram’s own code (**bold**, __italics__, ~~strikethrough~~), which turns into formatting when you send.

WhatsApp has no underline. Underlined text stays underlined only when you use Copy for Word or Copy for Telegram.

Yes. Highlight the part you want, then tap Copy for WhatsApp or Send on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp doesn’t let any website put a message straight into a group. Leave “Send to” empty (or pick a saved group) and tap Send: WhatsApp opens with your message ready, and you choose the group from your chat list.

WhatsApp needs the full international number. Use the country code instead of the leading 0, for example +65 9123 4567 (Singapore), +974 5555 1234 (Qatar) or +91 98765 43210 (India).

Put the cursor where you want it, then use the two small buttons on the formatting row. 📅 Insert a date shows a calendar with quick choices like Today, Tomorrow and Next Monday; tap a day and it’s typed in full, for example “Saturday, 24 October 2026” (you can choose the style). 🧮 Calculator works out a sum such as 120 × 4 + 35 and types the answer, or the whole working (“120 × 4 + 35 = 515”).

Shortcut: type =120*4+35 in your message and press space, and it turns into 515.

No. What you type or paste in the text formatter stays in your browser. It is only stored if you choose to save it as a template, or send it for review, in your account.

No. The QR code simply holds your link. It keeps working for as long as your number uses WhatsApp.

No. The message is part of the code itself. To change it, make a new QR code and print that one.

Just their phone camera (or a QR scanner app) and WhatsApp. Nothing else to install.

Yes. Enter the number of your WhatsApp Business account and the link opens a chat with it.

The link shows your number to anyone who has it, just like printing your number on a card. Share it where you’re happy for people to contact you.

So your saved contacts and templates are kept safely and appear on any device you use. We only receive your name, email and profile picture, never your password or Gmail.

In the text formatter, choose a Template, then pick the person under Send to. Their details fill in. Anything still empty is highlighted in yellow; tap it to type over it.

Fields are details you keep for each contact, such as Amount, Due date or Payment link. You name up to 5 on the My contacts page. In a template, write the field name in curly brackets, like {Amount}, and it is replaced with each person’s value.

Use the Reminder list (Starter and Pro plans). It is for people you already deal with, such as students, members or customers; marketing or promotional messages are not allowed. Choose a template, tick the contacts, then tap Send for each person: WhatsApp opens with that person’s own message ready, and you tap send in WhatsApp. Wah-Kit never sends anything by itself, so your number stays safe and every message is from you.

You can stop at any time and carry on later; Wah-Kit remembers who you have already sent to.

Only if you want them. After your first sign-in, Wah-Kit asks whether you’d like an occasional email about new features (about once a month at most). You can change your answer any time under Email preferences in your account menu, or with the unsubscribe link in any of those emails. Emails about your account or payments are sent either way.

On My contacts, use Export to Excel to download your contacts, or Delete my account at the bottom to remove everything.

On the home page, Send wishes marks the birthday as wished and moves it to the “Wished” list. If you wished them another way (a call, or in person), tap ✓ Done. Tapped by mistake? Open “Wished” and tap Undo. The reminder comes back by itself next year.

Open Greeting cards (free, no sign-up). Choose the occasion (birthday, anniversary, New Year, Chinese New Year, Ramadan, Diwali, Christmas, or Your own words), pick a design and type the person’s name. You can change the heading too, for example to “Eid Mubarak” or “Happy 2027”. On a phone, tap Send card on WhatsApp and choose WhatsApp, then the person. On a computer, click Copy card & open chat, then press Ctrl + V in the WhatsApp message box and send. For birthdays you’ve saved, the home page has a 🎴 Card button with the name already filled in.

Want the card to say “Dear Anna” or “Dad” rather than their saved name? On My contacts, edit the contact and fill in What you call them. Cards and birthday wishes use it, and templates can say {Nickname}. You can also change the name on any card before sending.

Open the Status maker (free, no sign-up). Choose Good morning, Shop notices, Festivals or Your own words, pick a design, and tap a Quick start button such as Open today, Closed today or Sale, or type your own heading and message. Add your shop name or phone number in Signed if you like. On a phone, tap Share to WhatsApp Status, choose WhatsApp, then My status. On a computer, download the picture, send it to your phone, and add it to your Status from WhatsApp’s Updates tab.

Yes. Free cards and Status pictures, and those made without signing in, carry a small www.wah-kit.com mark in the bottom corner. On Starter or Pro, they go out with no mark at all, just your wishes. Sign in with your paid account and the mark disappears automatically.

Not yet. For now you can choose from Wah-Kit’s designs and change the words. We plan to add your own photos later.

Open My tasks from your account menu and tap New task. Write what to do, and optionally add a date and time, a saved contact and a WhatsApp message (you can start from a template, and fields like {First name} fill in for that contact). When it’s time, tap Send on WhatsApp: WhatsApp opens with the message ready, and you tap Send. Then tick the task off.

Tap 📅 Calendar to add the task to your Google Calendar, which reminds you at the due time. The Free plan holds 5 open tasks, Starter 20 and Pro 100; ticked-off tasks don’t count.

Yes, with Send for review. It’s handy when one person drafts and another approves, such as a family member, a fellow group admin or your boss.

1. First, on My contacts, edit the reviewer’s contact and fill in Email they use for Wah-Kit, the address they sign in with.
2. In the text formatter, write the message and tap Send for review. Give it a name if you like (otherwise the first few words are used) and choose the reviewer. Wah-Kit shows ✅ On Wah-Kit, or ⚠️ Not on Wah-Kit yet with a button to invite them on WhatsApp.
3. When the reviewer signs in, their home page shows 📝 For your review. They open the draft, change anything they like, send it from their own WhatsApp to their own contacts or groups, and tap Done, I’ve sent it. The draft is then deleted.

Your drafts are listed on your home page under 📤 Waiting for review, where you can edit them, remind the reviewer on WhatsApp, or withdraw them. Drafts nobody acts on are deleted after 30 days. Reviewing is free for everyone; the Free plan can have 3 drafts waiting at a time, Starter 20 and Pro 100.

Wah-Kit matches the reviewer by the email address saved on their contact. They must sign in to Wah-Kit with exactly that address. If they use a different Google account, edit their contact on My contacts, correct the email, then open the draft from your home page and tap Send for review → Update to send it to the new address.

Only you and the reviewer you chose. The reviewer sees the draft and your name, never your contacts or anything else. A draft is deleted when the reviewer marks it as sent or you withdraw it, and in any case after 30 days.

Open Business page and sign in (free). Choose your type of business, type your business name and WhatsApp number, and adjust the buttons. The preview on the right shows exactly what customers will see. Tap Publish my page and it’s live at wah-kit.com/b/your-name, with a QR code to download.

Open My business page from your account menu, change anything, and tap Save changes. It updates straight away, and your link and QR code stay the same. For short news like “Closed today”, switch on the notice bar, and switch it off again when it’s over.

Each button opens WhatsApp on the customer’s phone, in a chat with your number, with a message already typed, for example “Hi, I’d like to place an order”. The customer just taps Send, and you reply as usual. Nothing is sent automatically, and Wah-Kit never sees the chat.

Yes. Edit it under Page address and save. The old address stops working, so update any links you’ve shared and print a new QR code. Addresses are first come, first served, and names that could be mistaken for WhatsApp, Wah-Kit or a well-known organisation aren’t allowed.

It can. Search engines may show it when people search for your business name, but it won’t outrank big websites. If you’d rather keep it link-only, switch off Let Google show my page.

They’re built into the free WhatsApp Business app (not normal WhatsApp). A greeting message is sent automatically to people who message you for the first time; an away message is sent when they write outside your hours. The auto-reply kit writes them for your type of business, with the steps to switch them on.

Not at the moment. Real chatbots need WhatsApp’s paid business platform and approval from Meta. For most small businesses, a business page with question buttons plus greeting and away messages covers the same needs, for free.

Open My checklists from your account menu (or the Shared checklists tile on the home page) and tap New checklist. Choose a template, give it a name and an optional date, add the people (their WhatsApp number is optional), and edit the items. Tap Create checklist, then Invite each person on WhatsApp.

Yes, at least a free account. Each person gets their own invite link, which you can send on WhatsApp, by email or any other way. When they open it, they sign in with Google (free, a few seconds) and join under the name you gave them. That way everyone’s ticks are really theirs, and only the people on the list can see it. If you didn’t enter a WhatsApp number, Send invite opens WhatsApp with the message ready and you choose the chat; or tap Copy invite link to send it any other way.

Each invite link works once. Under People you can see which Google account joined in each place. If the wrong person joined (for example, an invite was forwarded), tap Reset invite: they’re taken off, and you get a new link to send.

Each person can tick only their own items. The organiser can tick for anyone (for example when someone tells you in the chat); those ticks show in a lighter green with “ticked by” and the organiser’s name. Only the organiser can mark an item as not needed for someone, using the 👥 button.

Everyone on the list can add items, for everyone or just for one person. Only the organiser can delete items. If you add an item by mistake, you can delete it yourself within 10 minutes.

Under People, tap Send pending next to someone. WhatsApp opens with a message listing what they still have to do, with a link back to the list. Send everyone’s pending items makes one message for your family or group chat.

Free: 1 active checklist with up to 4 people (including you). Starter: 5 checklists, 6 people each. Pro: 15 checklists, 10 people each, plus saving your own checklists as templates. When a trip is over, use ⋯ More → Mark as finished: it stays readable but no longer counts. Joining other people’s checklists is always free.

Open My events from your account menu (or the Events & replies tile on the home page) and tap New event. Type the title, date, time and place, and any details. Tap Save, then Share on WhatsApp to post the invitation, with its link, in your group or to anyone you like.

To see the event, no: anyone with the link can open it. To reply, yes: when they tap Going, Maybe or Can’t go, they sign in with Google (free, a few seconds) and come straight back with their answer saved. This way every reply has a real name, nobody can reply for someone else, and they get a reminder the day before.

As the organiser, you see every name, reply, number of guests and note. Everyone else sees only the totals, such as “12 going + 4 guests”. If you’d like your group to see who’s coming, switch on Show who’s coming to people who reply.

Yes. Open the event in My events and tap Download for Excel. You get each person’s name, reply, guests, note and when they replied, with the totals at the bottom.

Yes. The day before the event, everyone who said Going or Maybe sees it at the top of their Wah-Kit home page, and it’s listed in My tasks under “Events you’re going to”. These reminders don’t count towards their task limit. They can also tap Add to Google Calendar after replying, for a reminder on their phone.

Yes, until you close replies. They open the link again and tap Change my reply or Remove my reply. You can tap Close replies when you have your numbers, and reopen them any time.

The Free plan can have 2 open events at a time with up to 50 replies each, Starter 10 events with 200 replies each, and Pro 50 events with 1,000 replies each. Replying to other people’s events is always free. An event stops counting once its date has passed or you close it.
