Best WhatsApp WordPress Plugin
WordPress has 60,000+ plugins. Most WhatsApp ones just open a chat window and call it a day. No AI, no auto-replies, no lead capture. Boei is the WhatsApp plugin that actually works for you. Visitors click the button, AI replies instantly on WhatsApp, and you get leads with full conversation history. Install the official WordPress plugin in 5 minutes.
Trusted by 17,000+ websites
Official WordPress plugin
Also available for:
Search 'WhatsApp' in the WordPress plugin directory. You get Chaty, Click to Chat, WP Social Chat, Join.chat, and dozens more. They all do the same thing: add a green button that opens a WhatsApp chat window. That is it. No AI. No auto-replies. No lead capture. Just a link to wa.me.
Boei adds WhatsApp to your WordPress site with AI auto-reply built in. When a visitor sends a WhatsApp message, AI responds instantly. It answers questions using your website content, captures contact details mid-conversation, and hands warm leads to your team with a full summary. Your visitors get answers at 2am on a Sunday. You get leads in your inbox Monday morning.
WhatsApp is the world's most popular messaging app with 2+ billion users. Your visitors already use it daily. Meeting them on WhatsApp instead of forcing them into a contact form means more conversations, more leads, and faster responses.
Your WooCommerce shoppers have questions. 'Is this in my size?' 'When will it ship?' 'Can I return it?' Most WordPress WhatsApp plugins just open a chat window. If you are not online, the shopper leaves and buys from Amazon instead. Boei's AI trains on your WooCommerce product catalog. When a shopper asks about a product on WhatsApp, AI answers with the right specs, price, and availability. No waiting.
Other WordPress WhatsApp plugins send a generic 'We will get back to you' message. Or nothing at all. Boei's auto-reply is powered by AI that actually reads your WordPress pages, posts, and WooCommerce products. It gives real answers. Not canned responses. A visitor asks 'What are your opening hours?' and AI checks your About page and replies with the answer. No templates. No scripted flows.
Boei vs the most popular WhatsApp plugins in the WordPress repository
| Boei | Click to Chat | Chaty | Join.chat | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | WhatsApp + AI auto-reply | WhatsApp link only | Multi-channel button | WhatsApp link only |
| AI auto-reply on WhatsApp | Yes (2,000 msgs included) | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Lead capture from WhatsApp | Yes (name, email, phone) | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Shared team inbox | ✓ Yes | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| WooCommerce product training | Yes (CSV/page crawl) | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Additional channels | 50+ channels | WhatsApp only | 20 channels | WhatsApp only |
| Works offline (AI replies) | Yes, 24/7 | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Price | From $11/mo | Free | EUR 59/year | Free |
| GDPR compliant (EU servers) | ✓ Yes | No data stored | ✗ | No data stored |
Bottom line: Click to Chat and Join.chat are free but they only add a link. No AI, no auto-reply, no inbox. Chaty adds multi-channel buttons but still no AI on WhatsApp. Boei is the only WordPress WhatsApp plugin where AI actually replies to your visitors, captures leads, and manages conversations. From $11/mo with the official WordPress plugin.
Different WordPress sites use WhatsApp differently
WhatsApp handles pre-sale questions that email forms never capture. 'Does this come in blue?' 'Can you ship to Portugal?' AI answers from your product catalog. Shoppers who message on WhatsApp convert 3x better than those who browse silently.
Most WordPress service sites rely on Contact Form 7 or Gravity Forms. These forms have 2-5% conversion rates. Adding a WhatsApp button with AI auto-reply gives visitors an instant conversation. AI qualifies the lead and captures project details before your team even sees it.
Restaurants, dentists, salons, and repair shops on WordPress. Their customers already use WhatsApp to message friends. Adding WhatsApp to the website makes contacting the business feel natural. AI handles 'Are you open today?' and 'How much for X?' while the owner is busy working.
Property listings on WordPress get more inquiries through WhatsApp than email forms. Buyers want quick answers about viewings, pricing, and availability. AI replies instantly and captures buyer details so agents can follow up with the right information.
Official plugin. 5 minutes. AI auto-reply included.
In your Boei dashboard, open your widget and click the Install tab. Select WordPress and copy the WordPress plugin key.
Tip: The Install tab also offers a landing page link, QR code, and iframe embed.
Open WordPress and click on "Plugins".
Now, click "Add New" at the top of the page.
Search for "Boei" and find our plugin.
Click "Install Now".
When the plugin is installed, press "Activate".
Go to the Boei plugin in WordPress (see Boei in the left menu).
Enter the key you copied in the Widget Key field and press "save".
If you don't see the field for the Widget Key, click on "Advanced / Without domain detection".
Congrats, you are done!
Add a WhatsApp click-to-chat link to your WooCommerce order confirmation emails. Customers can ask delivery questions directly on WhatsApp instead of clogging your support inbox. AI handles the common questions automatically.
If you use a FAQ plugin or knowledge base on WordPress, point Boei's AI at those pages. It learns your answers and uses them on WhatsApp. Update your FAQ once, and WhatsApp auto-replies stay current.
Most WhatsApp messages come from mobile visitors (WhatsApp is a phone app, after all). Use Boei's display rules to show only the WhatsApp button on mobile and the full channel menu on desktop.
Connect Boei to Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager. Every WhatsApp lead gets tracked as a conversion event. See exactly which WordPress pages drive WhatsApp conversations and optimize from there.
