NXT Cloud Chat

NXT Cloud Chat is a WhatsApp Cloud API plugin for WordPress that helps you run WhatsApp communication from your WordPress admin. Connect your site to the official WhatsApp Business Platform to manage 1-to-1 chat, organize contacts and groups, review message history, and handle WhatsApp-based customer communication from one place. The plugin also includes a WhatsApp login and authentication widget for WordPress users. Visitors can sign in with their phone number and a one-time password delivered through WhatsApp while continuing to use standard WordPress user accounts. If you need a WordPress WhatsApp plugin that combines WhatsApp Cloud API messaging, a WhatsApp inbox, contact management, and WhatsApp OTP login, NXT Cloud Chat is built for that workflow. NXT Cloud Chat also includes team access controls so a tenant owner can assign user roles and permissions for selected WordPress users who need access to WhatsApp chat, contacts, groups, history, settings, or authentication features. For stores and growing businesses, the optional Pro add-on extends NXT Cloud Chat with WooCommerce automations, workflow-based messaging, bulk WhatsApp campaigns, advanced template messaging, CTA buttons, and customer engagement flows. Free customer support is available for both Free plugin users and Pro users who need help with WhatsApp API setup, plugin configuration, troubleshooting, and general technical support for NXT Cloud Chat. Key goals:

• Keep your WhatsApp configuration and authentication data self-hosted in your WordPress database and under your site's control.
• Make WhatsApp Cloud API usage more WordPress-like through familiar admin screens.
• Provide WhatsApp chat, contact management, and template-based notifications in one plugin.
• Provide a WhatsApp login/authentication flow alongside the existing WordPress login system and WooCommerce login experience.
• Offer a clean foundation that can be extended by developers or by an optional add-on.
