At this point, we all know that having a live chat feature is a must have on your website in 2020 for all the reasons I mentioned here.

In this guide, I’m going to show you how to add WhatsApp chat to your website. It will only take two minutes and you don’t need any specific skills to do it. Personally, I use elfsight.com . Go ahead and signup too for free. If you decide to pay for any of their plans you get a 20% discount

Once you do that, select chat on the horizontal menu bar and choose the WhatsApp chat widget in the menu list as shown above. Click Create Widget. So let’s create your widget. Begin by choosing a template that suits your case best.

Scroll down and click continue with this template. To let your customers message you from the widget enter your phone number to this field. Make the widget friendly. Add your name and picture in the chat header section. That’s it, your widget is ready. Also, you can check the settings tab to adjust layout size, colors and fonts.

Click join to install to add the widget to your website. You’ll see the widget that you have just created. Click Save.

The next step is to choose your subscription plan. You’re very welcome to start with lite. But keep in mind that your 20% discount is valid only for 24 hours.

Now let’s add the widget to your website. First click on the code to copy it.

Open the HTML file of the required page in the editor. Paste the installation code to the designated page area. Save the changes.

Go to the page to check your widget. Check the final result in the image below. Ain’t that cool? Yes, this is how easy it is. But if anything goes wrong at any stage, message support at anytime. They are super cool and helpful from my experience.

So there you have it.

That’s all and it only took me 2 minutes…wow. And I didn’t even need any programming or software experience. Not that I have any…lol. That’s why this is just perfect for me.

One thing that impresses me is also the fact that elfsight agents are so willing to help out even before you request for help. Just imagine, after only a few hours upon signing up, I had not started setting it up so the agent must have thought I was struggling and he quickly sent me this mail. Wow!!!

Also, elfsight.com has got tons of cool and exciting widgets and you’re very welcome to try them out for free. But you’ll get a jaw-dropping discount if you opt-in to any of their premium plan within 24 hours of the free signup. But no pressure if it ain’t in your budget just yet.

Try it out and share your experience in the comment section below.
