Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Floating Contact Button adds a customizable WhatsApp chat button to your WordPress site. Visitors can click the floating button and start a conversation in WhatsApp (click-to-chat) using your predefined message.

Main features

  • WhatsApp click-to-chat link (wa.me)
  • 4 button styles (circle, square, pill, with text)
  • Animations and hover effects
  • Responsive options (different sizes per device)
  • Display rules (mobile/desktop, home/posts/pages)
  • Triggers (delay, scroll, time on page)
  • Optional exit-intent trigger on desktop
  • Optional GDPR consent modal before opening WhatsApp
  • Optional basic click tracking (date/time + page URL)
  • Optional campaign metadata for Google Tag Manager and custom integrations

Performance

The plugin only loads its assets on pages where the button is displayed, and it is designed to be lightweight.

Compatibility

Works with any WordPress theme and most page builders. Compatible with WooCommerce sites (use it as a support and pre-sales contact button).

Privacy

You can enable a GDPR consent prompt before opening WhatsApp. If click tracking is enabled, the free version stores only minimal data for counting clicks.

External service

The button opens WhatsApp only after the visitor clicks it. The configured phone number and prepared message are then sent to WhatsApp/Meta so the conversation can start. WhatsApp is a third-party service; its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy apply.

The plugin does not load remote WhatsApp scripts, pixels, fonts, or iframes on page load.
