WhatsApp Chat for WordPress allows your customers to click a button and open a conversation from your website directly to your “WhatsApp” or “WhatsApp Business” phone number. This plugin includes a Whatsapp button where you can include a pre-set message, which will be automatically be the first message in the conversation.
Formerly WhatsApp Chat
This plugin was formerly known as “WhatsApp Chat”. WordPress forced us on August 8, 2019 to change the name of the plugin due to use of the “WhatsApp” word in the name. We apologize for the problems that the downtime may have caused to you.
Why WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is these days, the most popular instant messaging application in the world. Is available in more than 100 countries and supporting more than 50 languages. This means most of our users use WhatsApp as their main contact method, and they probably have been using it for years. Therefore, offering easy access from our website is a good way to convert those visitors into customers. Generating leads is the key to every business success, and the Social Chat button can help you to increase your overall sales and reach this goal.
WhatsApp Button
With the Social Chat button, your visitors will be allowed to send a message directly to your phone number. To start configuring it, you have to go to the button tab inside the Social Chat section that you can find in your admin dashboard. Inside the button tab, you wil be able to switch between two different layouts, and to define if you want to include rounded edges, also the position where you want to show the WhatsApp button, the text to be displayed inside, the WhatsApp phone number and the default user message.
Social Chat Box
Social Chat also allows you to include a box to show some contact information and a personalized message. This box can be activated through the Box tab inside the Social Chat section, and there also you can define the header and footer message, contact name, phone, work, and an avatar.

Frequently asked questions.
Where do I get support?
You can contact us trough this channels
Support Forum | Support Ticket | Discord Community
Can I use more than one WhatsApp number?
Yes, this option is available in our premium version
Social Chat Premium
Social Chat is GDPR compatible?
Yes, Social Chat WP is fully GDPR compliant and does not store any personal data. The premium version includes an advanced GDPR consent feature that displays a customizable checkbox with your privacy notice. Users must accept the consent before they can interact with contacts or send messages, ensuring complete compliance with data protection regulations.
Will my WhatsApp number be visible to all users?
Yes, every user of your website will be able to see the number of WhatsApp you are using. For this reason we advise you to not use a WhatsApp number that you want to keep private.
Can I use my WhatsApp Business username instead of my phone number?
Yes. Since version 8.7.0 you can set a contact type to “Username” and enter your WhatsApp Business @username. Visitors open the chat through wa.me/@yourusername, on mobile and desktop, without seeing your phone number. You can set your username in WhatsApp Business > Settings > Profile > Username. If you change it, update it in Social Chat: the old link stops working.
You can also use it in the shortcode: [whatsapp username=”@yourusername”]
What is a full phone number in international format?
Omit any zeroes, brackets or dashes when adding the phone number in international format, including your country code, area and regular phone number.
