<p>ChatLink for WooCommerce adds a customizable WhatsApp floating button to your site so visitors can start a chat in a single click.<br />
The button can open WhatsApp directly or display a small chat popup with a welcome message and quick FAQ replies.</p>
<p>For WooCommerce stores, ChatLink can turn products into “inquiry by WhatsApp” items instead of using the normal cart flow.<br />
You can optionally hide add-to-cart buttons, prices, and even redirect cart/checkout to keep everything as conversation-based inquiries.</p>
<p>Shortcodes are included so you can drop WhatsApp buttons anywhere in your content, landing pages, or widgets.<br />
The plugin is lightweight, uses standard WordPress APIs, and is designed to work with most themes.</p>

<p>NarraFirma is companion software to the textbook <a href="http://www.workingwithstories.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Working with Stories in Your Community Or Organization: Participatory Narrative Inquiry</a>.</p>
<p>Participatory Narrative Inquiry is a form of Participatory Action Research in which groups of people share and work with their stories of personal experiences to understand each other and to make collective sense of complex issues and situations. You can use it to help the people in your community or organization discover insights, catch emerging trends, make decisions, generate ideas, resolve conflicts, and connect people.</p>
<h4>What is NarraFirma?</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>It’s a checklist. NarraFirma provides practical guidance as you work, with questions for you to answer, recommendations based on the conditions you describe, activities that help you make decisions, and just-in-time advice.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It’s a journal. NarraFirma helps you keep careful records about what happened in your project, and it gives you places to reflect on what happened. This reminds you to keep learning as you work, and it helps you to document your project for future reference.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It’s a kiosk. NarraFirma helps you collect stories, on-line and/or off-line, based on question forms you design (with sample questions you can copy). Because story collection is integrated, there is no need to export or import data.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It’s a workstation. NarraFirma helps you explore and interpret patterns in your data (stories and answers to questions about stories), creating annotated visualizations you can use to make sense of the stories you collected.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why choose NarraFirma?</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>It’s portable. You can install NarraFirma anywhere, as a WordPress plugin or a Node.js web application. Web hosting is inexpensive, popular, and well supported. You can also install NarraFirma on your local computer and use it off-line. (Whichever installation method you choose, we strongly suggest that you set up SSL security on your web site before collecting or entering confidential or important information. Many hosting providers can help you with this task.)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It’s a team player. With NarraFirma your team can work on projects together in real time without having to hand files back and forth. You can plan your project, collect stories, discover patterns, and reflect on what you’ve learned – together.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It’s an open book. NarraFirma is open source software. So if you have a question about how something works, you can just look at the source code to find out. If you need the software to do something it can’t do, you can add new functionality yourself or ask someone else to add it.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It works in the real world. One NarraFirma installation supports multiple projects, forms, data sets, and reports. Why? Because real-life story projects are rarely simple or predictable. So go ahead and make a mess. NarraFirma is ready for it.</p>
</li>
</ul>
