AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Social Chat — Floating Click-to-Chat Button is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Iftakharul Islam — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How Social Chat — Floating Click-to-Chat Button works
Show full descriptionShow less
Ifat Chat adds a lightweight floating chat button to your WordPress site so visitors can instantly reach you on WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. When a customer clicks the bubble, a new chat opens with a pre-filled message — ready to send.
It works out of the box with every WordPress theme, including Full Site Editing (FSE) block themes like Twenty Twenty-Five and classic themes like Astra, Starter Templates, and Hello Elementor.
Why Use Ifat Chat? Most customers prefer messaging over email or contact forms. A visible chat button removes friction and turns casual browsers into real conversations.
One-click setup — Enter your phone number, enable the bubble, done.
WhatsApp and Messenger — Support both platforms from a single button. If only one is configured, visitors go straight to that app with no extra step.
Smart product messages — On WooCommerce product pages, the pre-filled message automatically includes the product name, price, and URL so you know exactly what the customer is asking about.
Works everywhere — Block themes, classic themes, page builders, WooCommerce — the chat bubble renders correctly on all of them.
Lightweight — Under 5 KB of CSS and JavaScript combined. No jQuery, no external scripts, no impact on page speed.
Mobile-friendly — Choose whether to show or hide the bubble on mobile devices.
What You Can Customize
Position the bubble at the bottom-right or bottom-left corner
Pick any color to match your brand
Set the bubble size — small, medium, or large
Write a custom panel header label
Write separate messages for product pages and regular pages
Choose where the bubble appears — all pages, homepage only, or WooCommerce pages only
Exclude specific pages by ID
How It Works
Install and activate the plugin.
Go to Ifat Chat in your WordPress admin menu.
Enable the chat bubble and enter your WhatsApp number (international format).
Optionally add your Facebook Page ID for Messenger support.
Save — the floating chat button appears on your site immediately.
When both platforms are configured, clicking the bubble opens a small panel where the visitor picks WhatsApp or Messenger. When only one platform is set up, clicking the bubble opens that app directly.
WooCommerce Product Page Messages If WooCommerce is active, the plugin detects product pages and replaces merge tags in your message template:
{{product_name}} — The product title
{{product_price}} — The product price with currency symbol
{{product_url}} — The product page URL
Example message a customer sends:
“Hi! I’m interested in Classic Leather Jacket ($89.00). https://yoursite.com/product/classic-leather-jacket/”
On non-product pages, the default message you configure is used instead.
Full Site Editing (FSE) and Block Theme Support Unlike plugins that depend on the wp_footer hook, Ifat Chat injects the bubble through JavaScript after the page loads. This means it works reliably with block themes like Twenty Twenty-Five, Twenty Twenty-Four, and any FSE theme — not just classic themes.
Lightweight and Privacy-Friendly
No external API calls or tracking scripts
No cookies are set
No user data is collected or stored
The plugin only loads a small CSS file and a small JavaScript file on the frontend
