About WOW Quick Chat – Floating Chat Button

From the official readme · v1.0.4

Description

WOW Quick Chat adds a floating WhatsApp chat button to your WordPress site in seconds. It is built for speed, privacy, and simplicity — no jQuery, no external libraries, no tracking scripts, no ads. Just a clean, accessible button that opens WhatsApp with a single click.

Unlike other WhatsApp plugins that bundle analytics, upsells, and heavy frameworks, WOW Quick Chat does exactly one thing and does it easy.

Who is it for?

  • Small businesses — Let customers reach you instantly
  • Local shops — Drive in-store visits via WhatsApp
  • Freelancers — Convert website visitors into leads
  • Agencies — White-label ready, zero bloat
  • WooCommerce stores — Add WhatsApp as a sales channel

Why choose WOW Quick Chat?

  • Zero bloat — No jQuery. No FontAwesome. No CDN requests. No external dependencies. The entire plugin is under 8 KB.
  • Zero tracking — No cookies. No analytics. No telemetry. No data collection. Your visitors’ privacy is absolute.
  • Zero ads — No upsell banners. No “PRO” nagging. No branded footers. Ever.
  • Settings API compliant — Built the right way. Every input sanitized. Every output escaped. Nonces enforced.
  • Accessibility ready — ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, focus-visible outlines, screen reader optimized.
  • Translation ready — Fully internationalized with POT file included. Ready for any language.
  • Mobile optimized — Responsive design with touch-friendly sizing. Tooltip hides on small screens automatically.

How it works

  1. Install and activate
  2. Enter your WhatsApp number in Settings → WOW Quick Chat
  3. A floating button appears on your site

That is it. The button links to https://wa.me/{number}?text={message} with proper URL encoding.

Privacy

WOW Quick Chat makes zero external HTTP requests. It loads no fonts, no icons, no analytics, no tracking pixels from any third-party server. The WhatsApp link opens directly in the user’s browser or app. No data passes through our servers — because there are no servers.

Frequently asked questions

Does this plugin track users?

No. WOW Quick Chat does not collect, store, or transmit any user data. Zero cookies. Zero analytics. Zero external requests.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The button is fully responsive and works on all screen sizes. On mobile devices, it adjusts to a smaller size and the tooltip is hidden for a cleaner touch experience.

Can I change the button color?

Yes. Go to Settings → WOW Quick Chat and use the color picker to choose any color. The default is WhatsApp green (#25D366).

Can I change the position?

Yes. You can set the button to appear on the bottom-right or bottom-left of your site from the settings page.

Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?

No. A regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business account works fine. Just use your active phone number.
