Problem and result
How to Add Whatsapp Button on Shopify: Turn Questions Into Conversations
Many shoppers would rather ask a quick question in WhatsApp than fill in a form or wait for an email. A button that opens a chat with the product already named makes asking easy, and a question answered quickly is often a sale kept.
Questions that never get asked
Shoppers who hesitate find no quick way to ask, so they leave. Where a chat button exists it covers the cart button, shows on every page or needs a paid app.
A quick way to ask, in the app they use
A tidy button sits in the corner and opens WhatsApp with your number and a first message ready. It stays clear of the cart and banners, and can name the product being viewed.
What is included
What Your WhatsApp Button Includes
When you add a WhatsApp button to Shopify, you get a link-based button with placement and wording done properly.
Implementation checklist
- A floating WhatsApp button in the corner you choose
- A chat link using your business number in the right format
- A first message in your wording, opened ready to send
- An optional product name or link added to the message on product pages
- An optional opening hours note and an away message
- The button hidden on pages you choose, such as the cart
- Placement checked against the sticky bar, cart drawer and cookie banner
- Handover note showing how to change the number or the message
The chat runs in WhatsApp and your team answers it, so we do not provide chat staff or automation. WhatsApp and any business tools have their own terms, plans and rules that we do not quote, and the contact details you show are your own choice.
See how it works
From No Quick Way to Ask to One Tap to Chat
Picture a shopper on a phone with a question. They tap the button, WhatsApp opens with your number and a first message ready, and they send it.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Add Floating WhatsApp Chat Button Started
We need a way into the store and a few facts about the whatsapp chat button, and the options below keep both simple and reversible.
Collaborator access
Approve our collaborator request for the whatsapp chat button from your Shopify admin, and you remain the owner and can revoke access the moment the work is finished.
No store yet? We build it first
No store yet means we build the whatsapp chat button in our Partner account and you take over the finished store, picking your plan at that point.
Prefer to share a login?
For the whatsapp chat button you may share a staff login instead, though the collaborator route is easier to revoke and is what we usually advise.
Your number
Send the WhatsApp number to use, with country code, and tell us if it is a Business number.
First message
Share the message the button should open with, and any opening hours.
One decision maker
A named person to approve the whatsapp chat button helps us finish it within the two revision rounds that come with every package.
If you are not sure which route fits your whatsapp chat button, tell us in the short form after checkout and we will recommend one.
