See every featureEC: WhatsApp Chat Button lets a Shopify merchant send marketing campaigns and automated messages through an email provider account they already control, such as Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, or any SMTP server. The merchant keeps ownership of sender reputation, deliverability, and domain authentication. Subscriber data is stored inside the Shopify admin, encrypted at rest, and removed on uninstall.
Add a round contact button to every page of your store. With one channel it opens that channel directly; with several it opens a small menu with WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, SMS, phone and email. On product pages, messages arrive prefilled with the product name and link. Set your opening hours and time zone: outside them, the button shows when you're back, hides your phone number or hides itself.
- Add up to 10 team members with their own WhatsApp number and working hours
- Pre-fill the WhatsApp message with the product the shopper was viewing
- Set business hours per store timezone with an offline message option

- Messages prefilled with the product name and link on product pages
- Opening hours in your time zone: show when you're back or hide the button
- Theme colors or your own, either corner, three sizes, mobile or desktop only
