Step-by-step installation for Shopify

Follow these steps to embed WAButton on your Shopify site. No complex development or app fees.

  1. 1

    Open your Shopify Theme Code Editor

    From your Shopify Admin dashboard, go to Online Store -> Themes. Click the three dots (...) menu next to your live theme and select "Edit code".

    Pro tip: Always duplicate your live theme first as a safety backup before editing code.

  2. 2

    Locate theme.liquid

    In the left file navigator under Layout, click on theme.liquid. Scroll down to the very bottom of the file.

    Pro tip: You can use Ctrl+F or Cmd+F to quickly find the closing </body> tag.

  3. 3

    Paste the WAButton embed snippet

    Paste your unique WAButton script snippet immediately before the closing </body> tag.

    Pro tip: Placing the script right before </body> ensures your store content renders without delay. 

    <script src="https://widget.wabutton.app/v1.js" data-widget-id="YOUR_WIDGET_ID" async></script>

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install a heavy Shopify app from the App Store?

No! WAButton operates via a lean script tag directly in your theme. This prevents Shopify app monthly subscription bloat and eliminates slow third-party app script injections.

Will this slow down my Shopify storefront or hurt my Google PageSpeed score?

Not at all. WAButton loads asynchronously from a global edge CDN (Cloudflare) with sub-10ms delivery and executes after critical store assets have loaded.

Can I track which Facebook or Google ads produced the WhatsApp conversation?

Yes! WAButton captures UTM parameters (source, campaign, medium, ad) and passes them into the pre-filled WhatsApp message, as well as dispatching events to Meta Pixel (fbq) and Google Analytics 4 (gtag).
