The plugin operates on a “freemium” model. While the free version is robust, the Pro version adds automation and tracking capabilities.
Single/Multiple Accounts: Add one or more WhatsApp numbers for different departments (e.g., Sales, Support).
Floating Widget: A sticky button that follows the user as they scroll.
Customization: Change colors, button text, and position (left/right).
Shortcode Support: Place a WhatsApp button anywhere inside posts or pages using [whatsapp].
GDPR Ready: Includes a built-in checkbox for user consent before initiating a chat.
Advanced WooCommerce Integration: Add “Order on WhatsApp” buttons directly on product pages; automatically includes product name and URL in the message.
Availability & Working Hours: Set specific hours for each agent. The button can automatically hide or show a “currently offline” message when agents are unavailable.
Analytics & Tracking: Integrated support for Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Facebook Pixel to track how many users click the chat button.
Dynamic Pre-filled Messages: Use shortcodes to automatically pull the page title or URL into the user’s starting message.
Page Targeting: Choose exactly which pages or post types the widget should appear on.
WhatsApp Account: You must have a valid phone number with WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business installed.
Installation: Upload the .zip file via Plugins > Add New or search for “WP Chat App” in the WordPress directory.
No API Required: This plugin uses the standard WhatsApp “Click to Chat” API, meaning you do not need to pay for the official WhatsApp Business API to use it.
Lead Capture: Unlike live chat, you get the user’s phone number immediately when they message you.
Lightweight: It uses minimal JS/CSS, ensuring your site speed remains high.
Trust Building: Displaying agent names and avatars (Pro feature) humanizes your brand and increases conversion rates.
