The integration of WhatsApp and WordPress is something that can be accomplished easily, thanks to the plugins we’re about to show you. So let’s get started with the sharing option plugins.

AddToAny comes with a variety of features that let you choose whether you want to show WhatsApp at the top or the bottom of a page, display a floating social bar, and customizing the logo to maintain your site’s overall design. The plugin also integrates Google Analytics so that statistics for share buttons are tracked.

The rest is self-explanatory which will include the customization of the button itself. Hit save changes, and now your website users can get in touch with you through whatsapp messenger.
