WhatsApp chat button generator

What is a WhatsApp chat button?

A WhatsApp chat button is the green floating button on a website that opens a WhatsApp chat with your business when a visitor taps it. It is a small piece of HTML that links to your wa.me link. There is no plugin to install and nothing to pay for.

How to add the button to your website

1. Enter your WhatsApp number, the text for the button and an optional pre-filled message in the generator above.
2. Copy the snippet it produces.
3. Paste it into your site just before the closing body tag. In most website builders this is a "custom code" or "footer scripts" box.
4. Open your site on a phone and tap the button to test it.

What to write on the button

Short, specific text beats a generic "Chat". Good examples are "Chat with us", "Ask about prices" and "Book on WhatsApp". Keep the pre-filled message short and in the customer's voice, such as "Hi, I have a question about your service."

Tips for a chat button that gets used

• Put it on the pages where people hesitate, such as pricing, product and contact pages.
• Set expectations. If you reply within a few hours, say so near the button or in an automatic reply.
• Use a different pre-filled message on each key page so you know which page started the chat.
• Check the button on mobile. It should not cover a "buy" button or the cookie notice.

After the chat starts

The button only opens a chat. To answer quickly, with a whole team and outside office hours, you need a shared inbox and automatic replies behind it. Responseify is a WhatsApp CRM with a shared team inbox, AI auto-reply and a sales pipeline, with a free forever plan to start.
