It does not require any WhatsApp API setup, third-party account, or complicated configuration.<\/p>\n\n<p>Wapulse Chat is intentionally built as a privacy-conscious, single-purpose click-to-chat utility. It does not collect visitor data, does not load external scripts, and gives site owners simple control over frontend visibility for mobile and desktop visitors.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Key Features<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Add a floating click-to-chat button to your website.<\/li>\n<li>Set your WhatsApp number from the admin settings page.<\/li>\n<li>Add a custom default message.<\/li>\n<li>Customize the button text.<\/li>\n<li>Choose button position: bottom right or bottom left.<\/li>\n<li>Change the button color.<\/li>\n<li>Enable or disable the floating button.<\/li>\n<li>Display a WhatsApp SVG icon with the button.<\/li>\n<li>Use shortcode support to place the button manually.<\/li>\n<li>Lightweight frontend styling.<\/li>\n<li>No API setup required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Shortcode<\/h4>\n\n<p>You can display the WhatsApp chat button anywhere using:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>[wapulse_chat]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>You can also customize the text and message:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>[wapulse_chat text=\"Get Quote on WhatsApp\" message=\"Hello, I need more details.\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<h4>How It Works<\/h4>\n\n<p>Wapulse Chat creates a WhatsApp click-to-chat link using your saved phone number and default message. When a visitor clicks the button, WhatsApp opens with your pre-filled message.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Important Note<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin is not an official WhatsApp product and is not affiliated with WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc.
