ChatLink for WooCommerce adds a customizable WhatsApp floating button to your site so visitors can start a chat in a single click.
The button can open WhatsApp directly or display a small chat popup with a welcome message and quick FAQ replies.
For WooCommerce stores, ChatLink can turn products into “inquiry by WhatsApp” items instead of using the normal cart flow.
You can optionally hide add-to-cart buttons, prices, and even redirect cart/checkout to keep everything as conversation-based inquiries.
Shortcodes are included so you can drop WhatsApp buttons anywhere in your content, landing pages, or widgets.
The plugin is lightweight, uses standard WordPress APIs, and is designed to work with most themes.

The plugin only builds the URL and opens it in the user’s browser or WhatsApp app.

If WooCommerce is not active, only the floating button, chat popup, visibility, and shortcode features are loaded.
Yes. You can set a global default message and, for WooCommerce, a separate inquiry message template that includes product name, price, quantity, URL, and site name.
ChatLink uses standard WordPress hooks and front-end assets, so it should work with most themes and page builders.
