WhatsApp Chat plugin for WordPress makes it simple to add
WhatsApp chat support to your WordPress site with a customizable floating chat bubble, WooCommerce buttons, shortcode buttons, Gutenberg block, and Elementor widget. Whether you’re running a
WooCommerce store, a blog, or a service website, Chat Help lets visitors connect with you instantly via
WhatsApp or
WhatsApp Business—even join your
WhatsApp Group directly.
Unlike traditional contact forms or delayed email responses,
WhatsApp click-to-chat buttons give customers a familiar, fast, and trusted way to reach you. With
pre-filled messages,
dynamic variables,
agent lists,
availability scheduling, and
GDPR consent, Chat Help ensures every conversation feels personal, professional, and convenient.
By offering multiple layouts (Simple Button, Single Agent, Single Form, Multi-Agent List/Grid, and Advanced Button), you can design the perfect
WhatsApp chat bubble that matches your brand and support needs.
Why Add WhatsApp Chat Support?

- Businesses using multi-agent WhatsApp chat improve response time and satisfaction
- Smart features like pre-filled messages and WooCommerce product variables reduce friction and boost sales
With Chat Help, you’re not just adding a button—you’re creating a complete WhatsApp customer support system inside WordPress.
