Yes, that\u2019s billion with a B. Those users also send over 55 billion messages&#8230;<strong>every day<\/strong>. With a WhatsApp WordPress integration, you can start making your website a part of those billions of messages.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, WhatsApp is no longer just for phones &#8211; there are now both Mac and Windows apps that have made WhatsApp officially multi-platform.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, I\u2019ll teach you a few different ways that you can integrate WhatsApp into WordPress. While there isn\u2019t a huge variety of options, there are some ways that you can integrate WhatsApp that go beyond just social sharing.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, every single plugin or solution that I\u2019ll outline is 100% free! Let\u2019s dive in&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>What Are The Ways That You Can Integrate WhatsApp Into WordPress?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a couple different ways that you can set up a WhatsApp WordPress integration.<\/p>\n<p>First, you can implement a basic button that lets users share your posts via WhatsApp. I\u2019ll show you two ways to implement this via:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A floating share bar<\/li>\n<li>A dedicated WhatsApp button<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to these two methods, many full-service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wordpress\/best-wordpress-social-media-plugins\" data-wpil=\"url\">social media plugins<\/a> also support WhatsApp. Because we\u2019ve already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/resources\/a-beginners-guide-for-sharing-your-wordpress-posts\">written about social sharing plugins<\/a> and such plugins aren\u2019t specific to WhatsApp, I won\u2019t show this method, though.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond social sharing, though, you can also use WhatsApp to offer support to your visitors by letting them easily start a conversation with you via WhatsApp.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, this isn\u2019t for every single website &#8211; but it is a neat solution for business-oriented websites because it allows you to continue the conversation even after someone leaves your site.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll show you how to let visitors send you a WhatsApp message via:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A free plugin<\/li>\n<li>The actual WhatsApp API<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Add a Floating WhatsApp Share Button to Your Mobile Site<\/h2>\n<p>For this first option, you\u2019ll learn how to add a floating WhatsApp share bar to the mobile version of your site.<\/p>\n<p>I looked around for a few different plugins and stumbled on the free <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/kn-mobile-sharebar\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KN Mobile ShareBar plugin<\/a>. In addition to WhatsApp, it also adds Facebook and Twitter buttons. Unfortunately, there doesn\u2019t seem to be a way to disable that without digging into the plugin\u2019s code.<\/p>\n<p>Once you install and activate the plugin, your buttons are automatically live:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-1.png\" alt=\"install and activate\" width=\"372\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-1.png 372w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-1-180x300.png 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When a visitor taps the WhatsApp button, they\u2019ll be taken straight to share the post via the WhatsApp API, complete with a pre-filled message:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_62013\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62013\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"880\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-2.png 880w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-2-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-2-768x341.png 768w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-2-610x271.png 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-62013\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WhatsApp API<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You can customize the pre-filled message via the plugin\u2019s settings.

Just remember that these share buttons will only appear to mobile users. Additionally, if you\u2019re already using a social sharing plugin, you should definitely test for any potential compatibility issues on the mobile version of your site.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Add a Dedicated WhatsApp Button to Mobile<\/h2>\n<p>If you want a solution that\u2019s entirely dedicated to WhatsApp, you can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/share-post-on-whatsapp\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">free Share Post On WhatsApp plugin<\/a>. Just be aware that you\u2019ll lose that neat floating bar functionality from the previous plugin.<\/p>\n<p>The plugin is super simple &#8211; once you install and activate it, all you need to do is go to <strong>Settings \u2192 Share Post on WhatsApp<\/strong> to enable the WhatsApp share button:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"880\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-4.png 880w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-4-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-4-768x264.png 768w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-4-610x210.png 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When a mobile user clicks on the button, they\u2019ll be asked to open the actual WhatsApp app (<em>verified to work on my iPhone 6<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The only downside is that the plugin will appear on both desktop and mobile versions of your site, despite the fact that the button only works on mobile:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"880\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-5.png 880w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-5-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-5-768x339.png 768w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-5-610x269.png 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To fix that, you can use CSS and media queries. I managed to hide it on the desktop version of my site by using something like:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: css; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\r\n@media screen and (min-width:667px) {\r\n.share-to-whatsapp-wrapper {\r\ndisplay:none;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Another free plugin that automatically hides the button for desktop users is <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/whatsapp\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WhatsApp Share Button<\/a> from Alex Moss. The plugin hasn\u2019t been updated in three years, though, which makes me hesitant to recommend it. It did seem to work when I ran it through some basic tests, though.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Add WhatsApp Live Chat to WordPress<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond social sharing, another neat WhatsApp WordPress integration is to use WhatsApp to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/tips-tricks\/live-chat-with-wordpress\">talk to your visitors<\/a> via pseudo-live chat. This can be an easy alternative to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wordpress\/best-wordpress-chat-plugins\">using a live chat plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I say \u201cpseudo\u201d because the live chat button only <em>initiates<\/em> the chat. Once the chat is started, you\u2019ll need to continue it via the WhatsApp interface.<\/p>\n<p>To add a WhatsApp chat button to WordPress, I like the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/whatshelp-chat-button\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">free WhatsHelp Chat Button plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once you install and activate the plugin, you need to head to <a href=\"https:\/\/whatshelp.io\/widget\/?utm_campaign=wordpress_plugin&#038;utm_medium=widget&#038;utm_source=wordpress\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this external page<\/a> to actually generate your button code:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"880\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-6.png 880w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-6-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-6-768x541.png 768w, https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/whatsapp-wordpress-integration-6-610x430.png 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On that page, make sure to select <strong>WhatsApp <\/strong>as your messaging app and fill out the rest of the information.
