Why use WAButton instead of a traditional WordPress WhatsApp plugin?

Traditional WordPress plugins run on your PHP server, query your MySQL database on every page load, and create security vulnerabilities. WAButton is an ultra-lean client-side script loaded from Cloudflare edge that never touches your WordPress database.

Can I customize the greeting and agents without editing code?

Yes! All customizations (agent names, avatars, greeting messages, business hours, and lead forms) are managed from your cloud WAButton dashboard and update instantly on your site without touching WordPress code again.

Step-by-step installation for WordPress

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

1

Open Code Injection Settings

In your WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Code Snippets -> Header & Footer (if using the WPCode plugin) or open Appearance -> Theme File Editor -> footer.php.

Pro tip: We recommend using the free WPCode plugin so your snippet persists safely across theme updates.
2
Insert into Footer

Paste your WAButton embed code in the Footer section immediately before the closing </body> tag.

Pro tip: Placing the script in the footer prevents any render blocking and preserves your Google Core Web Vitals score.
```
<script src="https://widget.wabutton.app/v1.js" data-widget-id="YOUR_WIDGET_ID" async></script>
