Modulux Chat Box is designed to reduce unnecessary direct messages by guiding visitors to predefined answers before they contact you.
Instead of immediately opening WhatsApp, visitors see a searchable list of frequently asked questions. Only if they confirm that their question is not listed can they proceed to contact you.
This approach helps: – Reduce repetitive questions – Save time for store owners and support teams – Improve user experience without blocking communication
The plugin is fully self-contained, multilingual-friendly, and follows WordPress.org coding standards.
Why Modulux Chat Box?
Many chat plugins rely on: – External SaaS services – Heavy icon libraries – Tracking scripts – Bloated frontend frameworks
Modulux Chat Box does none of these.
✔ No external APIs ✔ No tracking or analytics ✔ No third-party icon libraries ✔ No SaaS dependencies
Everything runs locally inside WordPress.
