See every featureShoppers who have a question before buying often leave instead of asking. This app puts a floating WhatsApp button on every page of your store, so they can reach you in the app they already use, and you get their message with the conversation history intact. You control the phone number, the pre-filled message, and how the button looks: color, size, icon, position, shadow, and animation.
Shoppers often leave when a question goes unanswered. Whatme adds a WhatsApp chat button to your store so they can reach you in one tap, from a floating button or next to Add to cart. Each message includes the page or product, so you know what they're asking about. Add several agents, set business hours and see which products get the most questions, then ask Sidekick (where available) to improve those pages.
