Click to Chat by Virtualcode helps visitors start a WhatsApp conversation from any page of your WordPress site.
The plugin adds a lightweight floating chat button that can be customized from a modern WordPress admin interface. You can set your WhatsApp number, prefilled message, device visibility, page targeting rules, business hours, button colors, icon sizing, tooltip text, link behavior, and more.
It is built for service businesses, agencies, consultants, stores, marketplaces, appointment-based businesses, and WooCommerce sites that want a quick path from browsing to conversation without requiring the WhatsApp Business API.
