About Floating Chat Buttons
From the official readme · v1.2.9Description
Floating Chat Buttons is a simple WordPress plugin that helps your website visitors connect with you instantly. With just one click, users can reach you through WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Skype, Slack, Telegram, Viber, Twitter, Email, or a direct phone call.
You can show the buttons on selected pages or across your entire site. It also includes a callback request option, so visitors can ask you to call them back.
Key Features
-
Multiple Contact Options: Add buttons for popular apps and channels like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Skype, Slack, Telegram, Viber, Twitter, and Email, ensuring your visitors can contact you on their preferred platform instead of being limited to just one option.
-
Click to Call Button: Add a “Call Now” button so users can instantly dial your phone number with a single click.
-
Callback Request: Not available to take calls immediately? The plugin offers a callback request option where visitors can leave their details and ask you to call them back later. This improves customer trust and ensures you don’t miss potential leads.
-
Customizable Design: Adjust the style and colors of chat buttons according to your website design.
-
Responsive Layout: The buttons are fully mobile-friendly. They automatically adjust size and position based on the device screen, desktop, tablet, or mobile.
-
RTL Language Support: If your website uses a Right-to-Left language (like Arabic, Hebrew, or Urdu), the buttons display accordingly.
-
Custom Links: Apart from the built-in apps, you can also add your own custom links. For example, link to a support portal, a custom chat system, or even another contact form.
-
Easy Setup: You don’t need to know any coding. Simply install the plugin, enable the buttons you want, and add your contact details in the settings. Everything can be managed from a clean and simple settings panel.
