Introduction
Chimpjar Contact Chat Builder Pro is a conversion-focused WhatsApp widget for WordPress. It doesn't just show a button; it captures qualified leads by requiring users to fill out a custom form before they start a conversation on WhatsApp.
No API Required
Works with standard WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business accounts without any monthly API costs.
Lead Database
Every click is a lead. Save names, emails, and phone numbers directly into your own WordPress database.
