Descrição
Wapulse Chat is a simple and lightweight WordPress plugin that lets you add a customizable click-to-chat button for WhatsApp conversations on your website.
The plugin is designed for website owners, service providers, agencies, stores, consultants, and businesses that want to make it easier for visitors to start a WhatsApp conversation directly from the website.
With Wapulse Chat, you can add a floating chat button, set your WhatsApp number, customize the default message, choose the button position, adjust the button color, and use a shortcode to place the chat button anywhere on your website.
This first version focuses on clean basic functionality, performance, and ease of use. It does not require any WhatsApp API setup, third-party account, or complicated configuration.
Wapulse Chat is intentionally built as a privacy-conscious, single-purpose click-to-chat utility. It does not collect visitor data, does not load external scripts, and gives site owners simple control over frontend visibility for mobile and desktop visitors.
