Questions & Answers

Everything you need to know before adding a WhatsApp chat button to your website.

What is a WhatsApp chat button?

A WhatsApp chat button is a floating website button that opens a WhatsApp conversation with your business number.

Does the generated code need a plugin?

No. The snippet is plain HTML and JavaScript with inline SVG, so it can work on most websites that allow custom code.

Can I use this on Shopify?

Yes. Paste the snippet into your Shopify theme, custom liquid block, or a site-wide code area in your page builder.

Can I use it on WordPress?

Yes. Add it through a custom HTML block, footer injection plugin, child theme, or a code snippets plugin.

Can I use it on Wix or Webflow?

Yes, as long as your plan and page settings allow custom HTML or custom code embeds.

Will the button send a message automatically?

No. WhatsApp opens with the welcome message prefilled, and the visitor still chooses whether to send it.

What phone number format should I use?

Use your WhatsApp number with the correct country code. The phone input helps format the number into the wa.me format.

Can I change where the button appears?

The generated snippet places it in the bottom-right corner. Developers can adjust the inline CSS values for position, size, and spacing.

Can I track clicks on the button?

You can add your own analytics event around the button click, or use a tracked landing page before the wa.me URL.
