modulux

Modulux Chat Box is designed to reduce unnecessary direct messages by guiding visitors to predefined answers before they contact you.
Instead of immediately opening WhatsApp, visitors see a searchable list of frequently asked questions. Only if they confirm that their question is not listed can they proceed to contact you.
This approach helps: 
– Reduce repetitive questions 
– Save time for store owners and support teams 
– Improve user experience without blocking communication
The plugin is fully self-contained, multilingual-friendly, and follows WordPress.org coding standards.
<h3>Why Modulux Chat Box?</h3>
Many chat plugins rely on: 
– External SaaS services

– Tracking scripts 
– Bloated frontend frameworks
Modulux Chat Box does none of these.
✔ No external APIs 
✔ No tracking or analytics 
✔ No third-party icon libraries
