Premium Links

Your own wa.link address for WhatsApp. Change the number or message anytime, count every click and scan, and keep every printed QR code working.

Updated November 11, 2026 View as Markdown

A Premium Link is a WhatsApp link at an address you choose, like wa.link/tiendaluna. It lives in your Walink account, so you can change where it goes after you have shared it, and the address you printed or posted keeps working.

A wa.me link is WhatsApp's own and costs nothing. But the number and the message are written into the link itself: change either one and you need a new link, and it can't tell you how many people tapped it. A free wa.link has the same limits, on a random address.

wa.me link Free link Premium Link
Address Your phone number Random, like k3x9qa Your choice
Change number or message later No No Yes
See clicks and QR scans No No Yes
Catalog, channel or group link Other WhatsApp links No Yes
Price Free Free $9 a year

Every Premium Link also includes:

  • Message variables: one link whose message changes with the click, like ?product=Mugs.
  • A landing page with your logo, and the preview your link shows when shared.
  • A way out of in-app browsers, for clicks from TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook.
  • A custom QR code with your colors and logo.
  • Analytics: clicks, QR scans, countries, sources and devices.
  • One Multilink page, at no extra cost.

Pick the Link Type in Destination Settings. You can switch it later.

Type A tap opens You enter
Chat A chat with you, with your pre-filled message typed A phone number or WhatsApp username
Catalog Your WhatsApp Business catalog The phone number that has the catalog
Channel Your WhatsApp channel, ready to follow The channel link from WhatsApp
Group Your group's invite, ready to join The group invite link from WhatsApp

A Chat link can use your WhatsApp username instead of your number, so the number never shows. Walink can't check that a username exists, so test the link on WhatsApp before you share it. Catalog links always use a number.

Your address

  • Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, up to 60 characters. As you type, capital letters become lowercase and anything else turns into a hyphen.
  • The field checks as you type and tells you when the address is available. Every wa.link address is unique, across Premium Links, Smart Links, other accounts and the previous Walink.
  • Capital letters typed by a visitor still work: wa.link/TiendaLuna opens wa.link/tiendaluna.
  1. Sign in, select Create in the top bar, then Premium Link.
  2. In Link Details, type your address in Custom Link. Link Name is optional and only you see it.
  3. In Destination Settings, pick the Link Type and fill in the destination. For a Chat link, choose Phone number or Username and write the Pre-filled Message, up to 1,000 characters.
  4. Optional: turn on Custom Landing Page or Open in External Browser.
  5. Select Create link, check the summary, and select Create link again to publish it. Or select Save as draft.

Started on walink.com with Make it a Premium Link? After you sign in, the new link opens in the app with what you typed already filled in.

Drafts and publishing

A draft is private and free: its address doesn't open yet and it counts no clicks. Publishing makes it live and uses one link from your subscription. If you have none left, the summary says One step from publishing: select Save as draft, or Upgrade subscription to add a link. A saved draft goes live from its page with Publish.

Edit, unpublish or delete

Open the link from Links, change anything but the address, and select Save changes. Visitors get the new version within about a minute, on the same address and the same QR code.

  • Unpublish sets the link back to draft. The address stops opening, the link stops using your subscription, and another account could publish that address.
  • Delete link removes the link and its analytics for good.

If you cancel

At the end of the paid period, your Premium Links become drafts, and so do their landing pages and your Multilink pages. Nothing is deleted: subscribe again and publish to bring them back. While they're unpublished, their addresses are available to other accounts. Free links in your account keep working.

Pricing

Each published Premium Link is $9 a year. Your subscription is the number of links you choose, publishing one uses one, and drafts are always free. Each Premium Link in your subscription also lets you publish one Multilink page. See Billing.
