WhatsApp WordPress plugin: How to add live chat button for free
There are multiple ways to add a live chat WhatsApp button to WordPress. In this guide we will show you how you can easily use our WhatsApp WordPress plugin, step by step with images to add chat functionality to your website.
Whatsapp has become one of the world’s most used means to communicate with businesses and to shop online. Since the introduction of new features such as the Business profile, Products Catalog and more, new opportunities were opened for business owners to use WhatsApp to market and sell their products and services online.
Before we started Orgwany we tried all of the WhatsApp integrations, buttons and widgets available online. All of them! We still couldn’t find one that was engaging and invites the website users to start texting with our businesses. And that was how Orgwany was born…
1. Download and install the WhatsApp WordPress plugin
Next, log in to your WordPress website dashboard. With your mouse hover over “Plugins” in the menu on the left and click “Add New”.
Then, next to the page title click “Upload Plugin”. You will be shown a box where you can choose a file to upload. Click “Choose File” then choose the plugin ZIP file that you have just downloaded and click “Install Now”.
When the installation is done, click “Activate Plugin” to active it.
