Description
WatsBridge – Chat Button adds a lightweight, customizable WhatsApp chat button to your WordPress site.
It helps visitors contact you faster from desktop and mobile, while giving site owners practical control over where and how the button appears.
Unlike basic click-to-chat buttons, WatsBridge – Chat Button includes targeting rules, local interaction analytics, WooCommerce-aware visibility options, and optional cart opportunity insights when WooCommerce is active.

Built for WordPress site owners

WooCommerce support
When WooCommerce is installed, the plugin can adapt its visibility and insights to store-related pages and cart activity.
When WooCommerce is not installed, WooCommerce-specific analytics are hidden and the plugin remains focused on the WhatsApp button, targeting rules, and local interaction analytics.
Privacy-conscious local analytics
The plugin focuses on local WordPress-side analytics. It does not need an external account to display the button. Interaction events are stored locally in your WordPress database.
Not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta
