Description
GRC Contact Buttons for WooCommerce adds, on the product page, quick contact buttons to your preferred channels: Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, TikTok, Phone, Email, Viber, Telegram, and Instagram.
Features:
- Independent enable/disable toggle for each channel.
- For each channel you can set the recipient (phone number, username, or email address).
- The default message is configurable per channel and can automatically include the product name and the page link, using the placeholders
{product}and{link}. - Built-in icons for each channel, with no external dependencies.
- Button labels are automatically translated for Russian and Greek, with English as the default for every other site language.
- All settings are managed from a single admin page: Settings > Social Buttons.
This plugin requires WooCommerce to be installed and active, since the buttons are displayed on the WooCommerce product page.
Installation
- Upload the
grc-contact-buttons-for-woocommercefolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install the zip archive directly from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
- Go to Settings > Social Buttons and configure the channels you want (enable, recipient, message).
- The buttons will automatically appear on every WooCommerce product page.
FAQ
-
Does the plugin work without WooCommerce?
-
No. The buttons are displayed on the WooCommerce product page, so WooCommerce must be installed and active.
-
Does the prefilled message work on every channel?
-
WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, and Email prefill the message directly in the link. Facebook Messenger, TikTok, and Instagram do not allow prefilling a message through a URL, due to platform restrictions; the configured text is shown as a tooltip on the button instead.
-
Button labels are automatically translated based on the site language (English by default, with Russian and Greek also supported). The message sent to the customer is configured separately, on the settings page.
