About this plugin
ESM Web3 Social Connect brings several customer contact touchpoints into one lightweight WordPress plugin while keeping each module optional.
The plugin provides three practical contact layers:
- Social Share — country-profile recommendations with administrator control.
- Live Connect — lightweight links to messaging and support channels.
- Direct Contact — a private WordPress inquiry form, inbox, email notification, and privacy tools.
An optional Web3 Bridge detects ESM Platform and exposes a connection point to Web3Home without duplicating wallet, identity, evaluation, reward, NFT, campaign, or airdrop engines.
The plugin works as a standalone WordPress plugin. ESM Platform is not required.
The plugin does not use GeoIP. Country recommendations come from the WordPress site locale or the administrator’s explicit selection. Recommendations are editable defaults, never mandatory rules.
The plugin does not send telemetry, analytics, site URLs, administrator email addresses, or usage statistics to the developer.

Shortcodes
[esm_w3sc_share]
Renders the social-share bar manually.

Renders configured live-connect links.
[esm_w3sc_contact_form]

External services
The plugin connects to third-party services only when a visitor actively clicks a configured share or live-connect button, except that the Kakao JavaScript SDK can be loaded after a KakaoTalk share click when the administrator has configured a Kakao JavaScript key.

ChannelTalk:
* The plugin only opens the administrator-configured ChannelTalk URL. It does not preload the ChannelTalk SDK.
Privacy
Social-share and live-connect buttons are activated by visitor action. The plugin itself does not track visitors.
If Direct Contact is enabled, the site stores the fields entered by the visitor: name, phone number, email, subject, message, source URL, and submission time. This data is used to answer the inquiry. WordPress personal-data export and erase integrations are included.
No IP address is stored by the plugin.
