The plugin is designed for website owners, service providers, agencies, stores, consultants, and businesses that want to make it easier for visitors to start a WhatsApp conversation directly from the website. With Wapulse Chat, you can add a floating chat button, set your WhatsApp number, customize the default message, choose the button position, adjust the button color, and use a shortcode to place the chat button anywhere on your website. This first version focuses on clean basic functionality, performance, and ease of use. It does not require any WhatsApp API setup, third-party account, or complicated configuration. Wapulse Chat is intentionally built as a privacy-conscious, single-purpose click- to-chat utility. It does not collect visitor data, does not load external scripts, and gives site owners simple control over frontend visibility for mobile and desktop visitors. #### Key Features * Add a floating click-to-chat button to your website. * Set your WhatsApp number from the admin settings page. * Add a custom default message. * Customize the button text. * Choose button position: bottom right or bottom left. * Change the button color. * Enable or disable the floating button. * Display a WhatsApp SVG icon with the button. * Use shortcode support to place the button manually. * Lightweight frontend styling. * No API setup required. #### Shortcode You can display the WhatsApp chat button anywhere using: ``` [wapulse_chat] ``` You can also customize the text and message: ``` [wapulse_chat text="Get Quote on WhatsApp" message="Hello, I need more details."] ``` #### How It Works Wapulse Chat creates a WhatsApp click-to-chat link using your saved phone number and default message. When a visitor clicks the button, WhatsApp opens with your pre-filled message. #### Important Note This plugin is not an official WhatsApp product and is not affiliated with WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc. WhatsApp is a trademark of its respective owner. ## Screenshots * [[ * Wapulse Chat main settings page. * [[ * Wapulse Chat configuration options for WhatsApp number, default message, and button text. * [[ * Wapulse Chat configuration options for button position, color, and mobile/desktop visibility. * [[ * Floating WhatsApp chat button demo displayed on the website frontend. ## Installation 1.
