TechnicalHimanshu ChatConnect

Lightweight floating WhatsApp chat support plugin with smart pre-filled messages and responsive popup design.

Iftakharul Islam

<p><strong>Ifat Chat</strong> adds a lightweight floating chat button to your WordPress site so visitors can instantly reach you on WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. When a customer clicks the bubble, a new chat opens with a pre-filled message — ready to send.</p>
<p>It works out of the box with every WordPress theme, including Full Site Editing (FSE) block themes like Twenty Twenty-Five and classic themes like Astra, Starter Templates, and Hello Elementor.</p>
<h4>Why Use Ifat Chat?</h4>
<p>Most customers prefer messaging over email or contact forms. A visible chat button removes friction and turns casual browsers into real conversations.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>One-click setup</strong> — Enter your phone number, enable the bubble, done.</li>
<li><strong>WhatsApp and Messenger</strong> — Support both platforms from a single button. If only one is configured, visitors go straight to that app with no extra step.</li>
<li><strong>Smart product messages</strong> — On WooCommerce product pages, the pre-filled message automatically includes the product name, price, and URL so you know exactly what the customer is asking about.</li>
<li><strong>Works everywhere</strong> — Block themes, classic themes, page builders, WooCommerce — the chat bubble renders correctly on all of them.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> — Under 5 KB of CSS and JavaScript combined. No jQuery, no external scripts, no impact on page speed.</li>
<li><strong>Mobile-friendly</strong> — Choose whether to show or hide the bubble on mobile devices.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What You Can Customize</h4>
<ul>
<li>Position the bubble at the bottom-right or bottom-left corner</li>
<li>Pick any color to match your brand</li>
<li>Set the bubble size — small, medium, or large</li>
<li>Write a custom panel header label</li>
<li>Write separate messages for product pages and regular pages</li>
<li>Choose where the bubble appears — all pages, homepage only, or WooCommerce pages only</li>
<li>Exclude specific pages by ID</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Go to <strong>Ifat Chat</strong> in your WordPress admin menu.</li>
<li>Enable the chat bubble and enter your WhatsApp number (international format).</li>
<li>Optionally add your Facebook Page ID for Messenger support.</li>
<li>Save — the floating chat button appears on your site immediately.</li>
</ol>
<p>When both platforms are configured, clicking the bubble opens a small panel where the visitor picks WhatsApp or Messenger. When only one platform is set up, clicking the bubble opens that app directly.</p>
<h4>WooCommerce Product Page Messages</h4>
<p>If WooCommerce is active, the plugin detects product pages and replaces merge tags in your message template:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>{{product_name}}</code> — The product title</li>
<li><code>{{product_price}}</code> — The product price with currency symbol</li>
<li><code>{{product_url}}</code> — The product page URL</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Example message a customer sends:</strong><br />
<em>“Hi! I’m interested in Classic Leather Jacket ($89.00). https://yoursite.com/product/classic-leather-jacket/”</em></p>
<p>On non-product pages, the default message you configure is used instead.</p>
<h4>Full Site Editing (FSE) and Block Theme Support</h4>
<p>Unlike plugins that depend on the <code>wp_footer</code> hook, Ifat Chat injects the bubble through JavaScript after the page loads. This means it works reliably with block themes like Twenty Twenty-Five, Twenty Twenty-Four, and any FSE theme — not just classic themes.</p>
<h4>Lightweight and Privacy-Friendly</h4>
<ul>
<li>No external API calls or tracking scripts</li>
<li>No cookies are set</li>
<li>No user data is collected or stored</li>
<li>The plugin only loads a small CSS file and a small JavaScript file on the frontend</li>
</ul>
