NexChat Order

Description

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.
