NexChat Order

NexChat Order bridges the gap between your WooCommerce store and WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging app with over 2 billion users. Instead of forcing every customer through a traditional checkout flow, this plugin gives them the option to send their entire cart — products, quantities, prices, and totals — directly to your WhatsApp number with a single click.

This is especially powerful for stores in regions where WhatsApp is the primary communication channel, small businesses that handle orders manually, and catalog-mode shops that don’t use online payment gateways.

How It Works

1. A customer browses your store and adds products to their cart.
2. On the Cart, Checkout, or Single Product page, they see the « Order via WhatsApp » button.
3. One click opens WhatsApp (mobile app or WhatsApp Web) with a pre-filled message containing:
   • Every item in the cart with name, quantity, and line total.
   • The cart total price.
   • Or, on a single product page: the product name, price, and direct URL.
4. The customer sends the message, and you receive the order instantly in your WhatsApp inbox.

Key Features

• Cart Summary Mode — Automatically builds a structured message from the customer’s entire WooCommerce cart, including product names, quantities, individual prices, and the cart total.
• Single Product Mode — Adds a dedicated WhatsApp button on every product page. When clicked, it sends the product name, current price (including sale prices), and a direct link to the product.
• Variable Product Support — When a customer selects a specific variation (e.g., size or color), the WhatsApp message dynamically updates to include the chosen variation details and its exact price.
• Customizable Message Template — Full control over the WhatsApp message text. Use {cart_contents} and {total} placeholders that are automatically replaced with real data at runtime.
• Custom Button Styling — Choose any button color via a color picker and set your own button text — no CSS knowledge required.
• Enable / Disable Toggle — Instantly turn the WhatsApp button on or off from the settings page without deactivating the plugin.
• HPOS Compatible — Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS / Custom Order Tables).
• Lightweight & Fast — Zero external dependencies. Pure PHP and vanilla JavaScript. No bloated frameworks, no API calls, no impact on page load speed.
• Translation Ready — Includes a .pot file for easy translation. Works with WPML, Polylang, Loco Translate, and any standard WordPress translation workflow.
• RTL Support — Designed to work flawlessly on right-to-left language sites (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc.).
• Theme Compatible — Uses standard WooCommerce action hooks (woocommerce_after_cart_totals, woocommerce_proceed_to_checkout, woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button) to inject buttons natively. Compatible with popular themes like Astra, OceanWP, Flavor, flavor starter, flavor starter, flavor starter, flavor starter, flavor starter, flavor starter and page builders like Elementor.
