FAQ
-
Do I need the WhatsApp Business API?
-
No. The plugin uses standard click-to-chat links. The WhatsApp Business API is only required for automated outbound messages or chatbots, neither of which this plugin needs.
-
What number format do I use?
-
International format with country code, digits only, no leading plus. Example:
447900123456for a UK number,14155551234for a US number. -
No. Total payload is under 6 KB, no external requests are made and the button is loaded with a configurable delay to avoid Cumulative Layout Shift on slow connections.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
The Free version adds a site-wide button only. The Pro version adds dedicated “Order on WhatsApp” buttons on product pages, variation-aware messages and a cart-to-WhatsApp checkout flow.
-
Is my visitor data tracked?
-
No. The Free plugin makes zero external requests and stores no visitor data.
