Frequently Asked Questions

What is a WhatsApp rotator service?

A WhatsApp rotator service is an external service that manages multiple WhatsApp numbers and distributes incoming chats among them. This plugin sends users to your rotator service, which then redirects them to the appropriate WhatsApp number.

Can I use this without a rotator service?

This plugin is specifically designed to work with external rotator services. If you want to link directly to a single WhatsApp number, you might need a different solution.

How do I customize the button appearance?

You can customize the button through the admin settings page. Options include size (small, medium, large), position (bottom-left, bottom-right, custom), animations, and custom CSS.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes! The plugin includes WooCommerce integration that automatically includes product names in messages when users click the button on product pages.

Can I place the button in specific locations?

Yes, you can use the shortcode [ge_whatsapp_button] to place buttons anywhere, or use the widget to add buttons to sidebars.

Is the plugin mobile-friendly?

Absolutely! The plugin is fully responsive and includes touch optimizations for mobile devices.
