Description
WhatsApp Chat plugin for WordPress makes it simple to add WhatsApp chat support to your WordPress site with a customizable floating chat bubble, WooCommerce buttons, shortcode buttons, Gutenberg block, and Elementor widget. Whether you’re running a WooCommerce store, a blog, or a service website, Chat Help lets visitors connect with you instantly via WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business—even join your WhatsApp Group directly.
Unlike traditional contact forms or delayed email responses, WhatsApp click-to-chat buttons give customers a familiar, fast, and trusted way to reach you. With pre-filled messages, dynamic variables, agent lists, availability scheduling, and GDPR consent, Chat Help ensures every conversation feels personal, professional, and convenient.
By offering multiple layouts (Simple Button, Single Agent, Single Form, Multi-Agent List/Grid, and Advanced Button), you can design the perfect WhatsApp chat bubble that matches your brand and support needs.
