About this plugin
TalaDesk adds a polished floating call-to-action button to your WordPress site, making it effortless for visitors to reach you on WhatsApp.
Why TalaDesk?
Most CTA plugins overload your site with JavaScript frameworks and tracking scripts. TalaDesk is different — it’s a single lightweight button with pure CSS, no dependencies, and by default makes zero external requests. Your page stays fast and your visitors’ privacy is respected.
The only exception is the optional “TalaDesk Account” tab (see FAQ), which is off unless you explicitly connect a paid TalaDesk account.
Features
- One-click WhatsApp chat button
- Customizable icon color, text color, and background color
- Customizable button text and optional hover text
- Position: bottom-right or bottom-left, with adjustable pixel distance from bottom and side edges
- Availability scheduling — choose the days of the week and hours the button appears (overnight hours supported)
- Public holidays — pick your country (Australia, Canada, Ireland, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, United Kingdom — by state/province/nation where holidays differ) and the chat closes on its public holidays automatically; untick any you stay open on
- Closures & special hours — add one-off or yearly closed dates/times, or special opening hours (e.g. closing early on Christmas Eve)
- Closed state — while closed, hide the button or show a closed version with its own text and colors (“Merry Christmas! Back Monday 9:00 am”), optionally still opening WhatsApp so visitors can leave a message
- Works with page caching — the open/closed state is checked in the visitor’s browser
- Display rules: all pages, homepage, posts, pages, or exclude front page
- Lightweight — pure CSS, no framework bloat
- SEO-friendly semantic markup with ARIA labels
- No external data collection or tracking by default
- Optional: connect a paid TalaDesk account to configure message-sending (off unless you explicitly connect one)
- Optional (requires WooCommerce): send a TalaDesk message automatically when an order changes status
- Optional (requires WooCommerce + a connected TalaDesk account): let customers opt in to WhatsApp order-status updates at checkout
