Linking a button to your whatsApp

WhatsApp's "click to chat” feature allows you to create a link anywhere on your website that opens a new WhatsApp chat with a specified number.

Click to chat works on both mobile phones and with WhatsApp Web. When visitors click the link, it opens a chat and includes a default message.

The instructions below explain how to link a button, but you can link from any element on your site, such as from a menu tab or image.

To link a button to your WhatsApp:

Add a button to your page.
Change the button text, for example, "Contact on WhatsApp".
Click the Link icon .
Click Web Address.
Choose an option:
- Create a link without a message: Add https://wa.me/<number> where the <number> is a full phone number in international format. Omit any zeros, brackets, plus signs, or dashes when adding the phone number.
- Create link with custom message: Add https://wa.me/whatsappphonenumber?text=urlencodedtext where whatsappphonenumber is a full phone number in international format, and urlencodedtext is the URL-encoded pre-filled message. To add a space in custom message use '%20'. For example, https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=This%20is%20a%20test results in the default message "This is a test".
Click Done.
