## FAQ

### How does this work?

Once a user types a message in the WhatsApp chat box on your site, they are instantly
taken to their WhatsApp app on their phone with the message and your number pre-
loaded for them. The message is sent using their WhatsApp app which is then received
on your WhatsApp app.

### What about Desktop users?

WhatsApp Web will open instead of the Mobile App. Your mobile number and their message
will be pre-loaded and sent to you via their web.whatsapp.com

I recently implemented Get Chat on my website and I must say, I am extremely impressed
with its performance. This chat widget is truly light-weight and fast responsive,
making it very efficient for both me as the website owner and for my website visitors.
One of the first things that caught my attention about Get Chat was its floating
widget. This feature makes the widget easily visible on the page, making it convenient
for visitors to seek assistance if needed. This has definitely increased the engagement
on my website and has grabbed more attention from my visitors. In terms of features,
Get Chat has it all. I was pleasantly surprised to see the variety of customization
options available. I was able to personalize the chat widget to fit the theme and
branding of my website perfectly. Additionally, the chat widget has options for 
agents to handle multiple chats at once, making it a more efficient tool for my 
customer support team. What I appreciate the most about Get Chat is its ease of 
use. Both for me as the website owner and for my visitors. The installation process
was simple and I was able to integrate it seamlessly into my website. The chat widget
interface is also user-friendly, allowing visitors to quickly start a conversation
and get their queries resolved. Another great feature of Get Chat is its responsiveness.
No matter what device my visitors are using, the chat widget adapts beautifully 
and provides a seamless experience. This has helped in increasing customer satisfaction
as they can reach out for help anytime, anywhere. Overall, I highly recommend Get
Chat for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient chat widget. It has definitely
improved the communication on my website and has helped in increasing customer engagement.
Plus, the customer support team is also very responsive and helpful. Get Chat is
definitely a game changer in the online chat widget market. Give it a try and see
the difference for yourself!

This is a great app very minimal cost but can be the difference between getting 
that extra sale and losing out…The fact that potential customers can easily get 
a message directly to your phone and you can answer their question right away is
the epitome of customer service for the new age. 5 out of 5

Sehr gutes PlugIn. Einfach in der Einrichtung und alles funktioniert wie man es 
erwartet. Funktioniert natürlich nur für WhatsApp-User. Für die Desktop-Nutzung 
muss man WhatsApp installieren und per QRCode in seinem Account freigeben. Aber 
das muss man ja eh, wenn man WhatsApp z.B. inter Windows nutzen möchte.

I’ve tried a few similar plug-in, but the configuration is nice and easy on this
one and it does what it says on the tin. Enough configuration options exist to make
it look the way I want, and control over the way it appears. Whilst this is an early
version, I’m expecting it to continue to improve and is from a trusted developer,
so feel confident it having it up and running.
