Add an animated floating WhatsApp chat button to every page of your Shopify store in under 60 seconds. No coding needed. Customers reach you on WhatsApp in one tap.
Why WhatsApp converts better than live chat
What the app does
Everything from the Shopify App Store listing — no fluff added.
Floating button on every store page
Zero coding required. Install the app, enable the App Embed in your theme editor, done — the animated button appears on every page of your store automatically.
Pre-filled message
Set a custom greeting that appears in WhatsApp when a visitor taps your button. Customers just hit send — you're already in a conversation before they type a word.
Custom color, position & visibility
Pick your button color, corner position (left or right), and choose to show it on mobile only or all devices. Matches your brand, works your way.
Customer privacy built in
The button opens WhatsApp directly on the customer's device via a wa.me link. No customer data is collected or stored by this app — GDPR-safe by design.
Fully responsive on all devices
Works perfectly on iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop. On mobile, tapping opens the WhatsApp app directly — no browser redirect, instant conversation.
60-second setup
Install → enter your number in Settings → enable App Embed → Save. Under 60 seconds, zero coding, works on every Online Store 2.0 theme.

Why add a WhatsApp button to your Shopify store?
WhatsApp is the channel your customers already use every day.
Customers trust WhatsApp
WhatsApp has 2.5 billion monthly users. A floating button removes every barrier between a visitor and a conversation with you — no forms, no email, no hold music.
Higher conversion than forms
Web forms convert at 1–3%. WhatsApp conversations convert at 3–10%. When a shopper can ask a quick question and get a real reply fast, they buy.
Personal touch at scale
A WhatsApp conversation feels personal — not a support ticket. That trust translates directly into repeat purchases and referrals.
Mobile-native experience
Over 70% of Shopify traffic is mobile. WhatsApp is already on every phone. Tapping your button opens the app they use daily — no new account, no friction.
Frequently asked questions
Is the WhatsApp Floating Button for Shopify free?
Yes. The free plan gives you a fully working animated WhatsApp floating button with no expiry and no credit card required. The Starter plan ($2.99/month or $19.99/year) unlocks additional customisation options.
How do I add a WhatsApp button to my Shopify store?
Install the WA Float app from the Shopify App Store, enter your WhatsApp number in Settings, then go to your theme editor → App Embeds → toggle WA Float on → Save. The whole process takes under 60 seconds with zero coding.
Which Shopify themes does it work with?
All Online Store 2.0 themes. The app uses Shopify's native theme app-extension system so it works out of the box and survives theme updates automatically.
Does the WhatsApp button work on mobile phones?
Yes. The button is fully responsive on all devices — tapping it opens WhatsApp directly in the app on iOS and Android.
What WhatsApp phone number format should I use?
Full international format with country code, no plus sign, spaces, or dashes. Example: 14155552671 for US, 447911123456 for UK, 923001234567 for Pakistan.
Can I set a pre-filled message for customers?
Yes. Set a custom greeting that appears in WhatsApp when a visitor taps the button — customers just hit send.
Is the app GDPR compliant?
Yes. The button opens WhatsApp directly on the customer's device via a wa.me link. No customer data is collected or stored by this app.
Will it slow down my Shopify store?
No. The app is a lightweight theme app extension that loads asynchronously and does not affect your store's Core Web Vitals or PageSpeed score.
Why is my WhatsApp button not showing?
Most common cause: App Embed is off. Go to Online Store → Themes → Customise → App Embeds → enable WA Float → Save. Also check that your WhatsApp number is saved in app Settings.
