What is a WhatsApp button?

A WhatsApp button is a small floating button in the corner of your website. One click opens a WhatsApp chat with your number directly – optionally with a message already typed. Your visitors don't have to look up or save a number, fill in a form or wait for an email reply.

The button stays visible while scrolling (fixed), works on mobile and desktop and needs no app and no signup. You get a ready-made snippet that you paste into your site just once.

Whether it's WordPress, Shopify, Wix or your own HTML site: you paste the WhatsApp button code once and have a direct line to your visitors from then on – no plugin clutter and no monthly fees. That turns every website visit into a potential WhatsApp inquiry, appointment or sale.

Why a WhatsApp button on your website?

Most visitors don't buy or get in touch on the first visit. A WhatsApp button lowers the barrier to a minimum – messaging is faster and more personal than a form or a call. That's how you catch inquiries that would otherwise be lost.

What you can customize

Set up your button in seconds with sliders and fields – the preview reflects every change instantly.

Color

Pick the button color freely – the default is classic WhatsApp green, but you can use your brand color too.

Size

From subtle to eye-catching via a slider. The icon and text scale automatically.

Position

Bottom right or bottom left – wherever the button fits your design best.

Text & message

Icon only (round) or with button text. Plus a pre-filled message that's already typed in the chat.

How to add the code – super simple

No coding skills needed. Click copy code and paste it at the end of the page, just before the closing </body> tag. Here's how on the common platforms:

WordPress

Easiest with the free plugin WPCode (or Insert Headers and Footers): paste the code in the footer area and save. Without a plugin: use a Custom HTML block in the footer widget.

HTML website

Open your HTML file, paste the code right before </body>, save and upload. Done.

Wix

Settings -> Custom Code -> add new code and place it under Body - End.

Squarespace

Settings -> Advanced -> Code Injection -> paste the code into the Footer field.

Shopify

Online Store -> Themes -> Edit code -> open theme.liquid and paste the code before </body>.

Site builders (Jimdo, IONOS …)

Look for Custom Code / Embed HTML / Footer code and paste the code there.

Frequently asked questions about the WhatsApp button

Does the button work on all devices?+

Yes. The button is responsive and works on mobile, tablet and desktop. On mobile it opens the WhatsApp app, on desktop WhatsApp Web.

Do I need to install anything?+

No. You just paste a small snippet into your page. It loads no library and needs no plugin (on WordPress a code plugin is just the easiest way to paste it).

Is the WhatsApp button free?+

Yes. You can create one button per day for free here. With a free promolinks account it's unlimited – plus click stats, a short link and a QR code.

Is the button privacy-friendly?+

The code itself loads nothing from third parties and sets no cookies. In your privacy policy, note that clicking forwards to WhatsApp (Meta).

Can I change color, size and text later?+

Sure. Set the button up again here, generate the code anew and replace the old snippet on your page.

Does it work with WhatsApp Business?+

Yes. The button works with any WhatsApp number – personal or WhatsApp Business.

Just want a WhatsApp link instead of a button?

Not every spot needs a floating button. For your Instagram bio, an ad, your email signature or a QR code, a clickable WhatsApp link (wa.me) is enough. You create one in seconds with our WhatsApp link generator – enter your number, add an optional message, ready to share.
