If you’re running a business website—especially one focused on bookings or customer service—adding a WhatsApp chat button can be a game-changer. In this tutorial, you’ll learn exactly how to add a WhatsApp integration to your Hostinger Website Builder site so you can chat with visitors in real time.
Why Add WhatsApp Chat to Your Website?
WhatsApp offers a fast and familiar way for customers to reach out. Whether you’re running a barbershop, a consulting service, or an ecommerce store, real-time messaging can boost trust and increase conversions. It’s a small addition that makes a big impact.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Log Into Your Hostinger Account
First, access your Hostinger dashboard. Head over to the “Websites” section and click on “Edit Website” next to the site you want to modify.
2. Open Integrations
In the website editor, click the three-dot icon (⋯) to access “More Settings,” then select “Integrations.” Scroll down until you find WhatsApp.
3. Add Your WhatsApp Details
Click the dropdown under WhatsApp. You’ll be prompted to enter your full phone number including country code. You can also customize the default message that visitors will see when the chat window opens.
Example messages:
- “Hey there, welcome to Blade & Brush. Let us know how we can help you book your next session!”
- “How can we help you today? Let’s get you booked.”
4. Save and Publish
Click Save Changes, then Update Website to apply the new settings. Visit your live website to make sure the WhatsApp button appears and works correctly.
Test the Integration
Click the chat icon and check if your preset message appears and the link redirects to WhatsApp properly.
