Overview
Common Ninja's WhatsApp Chat widget adds a floating WhatsApp button to your Squarespace site. When a visitor taps it, a WhatsApp conversation opens with your number, on their phone or in WhatsApp Web, so enquiries land in the app you already use.
What it does
- Floating chat button with your WhatsApp number
- Optional greeting message and pre-filled text
- Position, colour and icon controls
- Conversations happen in WhatsApp, not on your site
Who it suits
Restaurants, holiday lets, trades, salons and small shops whose customers prefer messaging to forms or email.
Honest caveats
It is a single-channel button: if you also want Messenger or Instagram, a multi-channel chat widget is tidier. The free plan has usage limits; paid plans are billed yearly per widget, from $24 a year. Site-wide installation uses code injection, which needs Squarespace Core or higher. See our live chat plugins guide.
Consider WhatsApp Chat Widget when interface components inside Squarespace pages needs to feel intentional. Common Ninja describes the plugin for site owners adding buttons, tabs, accordions, and micro-UI, emphasizing accordions and tabs, calls to action, and consistent styling with your theme.
