This article shows you how to set up the WhatsApp button your customers press to reach you.
Use it once when you switch WhatsApp on, and again whenever the button stops matching your shop.
Before you start
- WhatsApp itself is switched on in Settings, under the WhatsApp tab. Until it is, this panel points you there.
- The two switches here, Floating widget and Show on product pages, are store settings and go live as soon as they are saved. The corner, the colours and the icon are part of your draft and wait for Publish.
Step 1. Open the WhatsApp panel
In the Global group choose WhatsApp widget. If you see WhatsApp is not enabled, press Go to WhatsApp settings, turn it on there, then come back.
Floating widget puts a WhatsApp button in the corner of every page of your shop. While it is off, the corner, colour and icon settings are greyed out.
Step 3. Choose its corner
Under Position pick Bottom right or Bottom left. In your Arabic storefront the corner mirrors by itself, so you only decide once.
Step 4. Give it your colour
Under Widget colour pick one of the ready colours, or type your own under Custom. Your shop's own colours usually look better than the default green.
Step 5. Choose the icon
Under Icon pick WhatsApp, Chat, Phone or Support. Choose the one that says what you want it to say.
Step 6. Add the product page button
Show on product pages puts an Order via WhatsApp button on every product page. Once it is on, Button colour gives that button its own colour.
Result
A WhatsApp button sits in the corner of your shop in your own colours, and every product page offers a quick way to start a conversation with you.
