CartApp adds an “Order via Chat” button to WooCommerce product and cart pages. Customers can select a delivery area, enter contact details, and open a pre-filled order message containing products, quantities, variations, totals, delivery fee, delivery note, store name, and order time. The plugin is designed for markets where direct chat is the primary business channel, cash-on-delivery is common, mobile money is widely used, and delivery is usually described by neighbourhood rather than postal code.
