NexChat Order bridges the gap between your WooCommerce store and WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging app with over 2 billion users. Instead of forcing every customer through a traditional checkout flow, this plugin gives them the option to send their entire cart — products, quantities, prices, and totals — directly to your WhatsApp number with a single click.
This is especially powerful for stores in regions where WhatsApp is the primary communication channel, small businesses that handle orders manually, and catalog-mode shops that don’t use online payment gateways.
How It Works
01A customer browses your store and adds products to their cart.
02On the Cart , Checkout , or Single Product page, they see the “Order via WhatsApp” button.
03One click opens WhatsApp (mobile app or WhatsApp Web) with a pre-filled message containing: Every item in the cart with name, quantity, and line total.
04The cart total price.
05Or, on a single product page: the product name, price, and direct URL.
06The customer sends the message, and you receive the order instantly in your WhatsApp inbox.
Key Features
Cart Summary Mode — Automatically builds a structured message from the customer’s entire WooCommerce cart, including product names, quantities, individual prices, and the cart total.
Single Product Mode — Adds a dedicated WhatsApp button on every product page. When clicked, it sends the product name, current price (including sale prices), and a direct link to the product.
Variable Product Support — When a customer selects a specific variation (e.g., size or color), the WhatsApp message dynamically updates to include the chosen variation details and its exact price.
Customizable Message Template — Full control over the WhatsApp message text. Use {cart_contents} and {total} placeholders that are automatically replaced with real data at runtime.
Custom Button Styling — Choose any button color via a color picker and set your own button text — no CSS knowledge required.
Enable / Disable Toggle — Instantly turn the WhatsApp button on or off from the settings page without deactivating the plugin.
HPOS Compatible — Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS / Custom Order Tables).
Lightweight & Fast — Zero external dependencies. Pure PHP and vanilla JavaScript. No bloated frameworks, no API calls, no impact on page load speed.
Translation Ready — Includes a .pot file for easy translation. Works with WPML, Polylang, Loco Translate, and any standard WordPress translation workflow.
RTL Support — Designed to work flawlessly on right-to-left language sites (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc.).
Theme Compatible — Uses standard WooCommerce action hooks ( woocommerce_after_cart_totals , woocommerce_proceed_to_checkout , woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button ) to inject buttons natively. Compatible with popular themes like Astra, OceanWP, Flavor, flavor starter, flavor starter, flavor starter, flavor starter, flavor starter, flavor starter and page builders like Elementor.

Frequently asked questions.
What WooCommerce versions are supported?
NexChat Order is tested and compatible with WooCommerce 5.0 through 8.8. It also fully supports WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage).
How do I format the WhatsApp number?
Enter the full international number without the + sign, dashes, or spaces. For example: – Egypt: 20123456789 – USA: 15551234567 – UK: 447911123456 – Saudi Arabia: 966501234567
What placeholders can I use in the message template?
You can use: – {cart_contents} — Replaced with a formatted list of all items in the customer’s cart (name, quantity, and line total for each item). – {total} — Replaced with the cart’s total price, formatted in your store’s currency.
Does this work on single product pages?
Yes. The plugin automatically adds a WhatsApp order button on every single product page. When clicked, it sends the product name, displayed price, and a direct URL to the product — no cart required.
Does it support variable products (e.g., size/color)?
Yes. When a customer selects a variation on a variable product page, the WhatsApp message dynamically updates to reflect the selected variation’s name and price via JavaScript.
Will this button replace the standard WooCommerce checkout?
No. The WhatsApp button is added alongside the standard checkout process as an additional ordering option. Your existing Add to Cart, Cart, and Checkout flow remains completely untouched.
Does it conflict with my theme or page builder?
The plugin uses standard WooCommerce hooks to inject buttons, so it works natively with virtually all themes and page builders including Elementor, WPBakery, Divi, Astra, OceanWP, flavor starter, flavor starter, and flavor starter.
Does it work with caching plugins?
Yes. The WhatsApp button is rendered server-side on each page load, so it is fully compatible with all caching plugins (WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.).
Is it RTL compatible?
Yes. The plugin is fully compatible with right-to-left (RTL) languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.
Can I translate the plugin?
Yes. A .pot translation template file is included in the languages/ directory. You can translate the plugin using WPML, Polylang, Loco Translate, or Poedit.
Does the plugin load assets on every page?
No. CSS and JavaScript files are only enqueued on WooCommerce Cart, Checkout, and Single Product pages — keeping your site fast everywhere else.
Is any data sent to external servers?
No. The plugin does not make any external API calls, does not collect any user data, and does not send any information to third-party servers. The WhatsApp link is a standard wa.me URL that opens the customer’s own WhatsApp app.
Where can I get support?
You can use the WordPress.org support forum for questions and bug reports, or visit eslamdev.com for direct contact.
