## What it does

A WhatsApp button is the fastest way to turn site visitors into WhatsApp conversations. WhatsApp: Start Chat Button adds a one-tap chat button to any page on the App Market — stores, landing pages, portfolio sites, business sites, and booking pages — so visitors can start a chat on mobile or desktop. The button opens the WhatsApp app on mobile and WhatsApp Web on desktop, with a pre-filled message. No code, no Velo — drop-in install.

This is the best App Market app for a WhatsApp chat button if you want a native chat widget that does not require Velo or custom code. The widget comes in 10+ button styles with 100+ design combinations, supports multiple representative profiles with name, photo, and online status, and pre-fills the WhatsApp message. The app is for businesses that answer WhatsApp enquiries, agencies, and multi-staff teams.

Use cases include: store WhatsApp button for product questions, real-estate WhatsApp button for listing enquiries, restaurant WhatsApp button for reservations, agency WhatsApp button for client enquiries, and course WhatsApp button for student questions. A free button is available; an upgraded version adds customisation and priority support.
