Guide
How to get a custom WhatsApp short link, like walink.be/yourshop
A short link normally ends in a random code. A custom name makes it readable: people can remember it, say it out loud and type it, and it looks more trustworthy in a bio or on a poster.
The link still opens your chat and still counts clicks. You can change the number or message behind it later without changing the name.
