Description
Order Chat for WooCommerce adds WhatsApp buttons to the WooCommerce cart, product lists, and product detail pages.
The plugin does not connect to the WhatsApp API and does not send messages automatically. It creates a WhatsApp link with a prefilled message. When a customer clicks the button, WhatsApp opens and the customer decides whether to send the message.
Available options:
- Compact country code selector and local WhatsApp phone number field.
- Grouped button color control with color picker and hexadecimal text input.
- Grouped border radius control with synchronized slider, number input, and pixel unit.
- Cart message and button label.
- WhatsApp cart button support for classic WooCommerce cart and WooCommerce Cart Block.
- Toggle controls for hiding the default WooCommerce checkout button and clearing the cart.
- Optional product inquiry buttons for product lists and single product pages.
External Services

The generated link may include the configured phone number and a prefilled message containing cart product names, quantities, prices, total, product titles, or product URLs, depending on the button clicked. The customer reviews and sends the message manually in WhatsApp.
