Add WhatsApp chat to WordPress with a floating button
HexCoda WordPress WhatsApp Button is a focused chat plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce. It gives visitors an easy way to contact your business from the page they’re already viewing, via a site-wide floating click-to-chat button.
WhatsApp is used by billions of people across more than 180 countries. Instead of asking visitors to find a phone number, open a separate contact page, or learn a new chat system, you give them a way to reach you that most people already understand.
A basic WhatsApp link gives you little control over how the contact option looks, where it appears, or when it’s available. HexCoda brings those controls into one focused WordPress interface.
Better WhatsApp Messages With Page and Product Context
Create a prefilled opening message and optionally include the current page URL. On WooCommerce product pages, the plugin can also add the product name — so you already know what the customer wants to discuss before you reply.
Works Without the WhatsApp Business API
The plugin works with regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business numbers, using the standard click-to-chat system. No WhatsApp Business API, credentials, or external messaging platform required.
