Simpel und funktioniert
Danke für das kleine, leichte Plugin. Macht sich sehr gut im WooCommerce-Shop. Und ist absolut ausreichend. Eine kleine Frage habe ich aber doch: Für einen Shop wäre es hilfreich, wenn es eine Option gäbe, die Single-Produkt-URL bei einer Chatanfrage mit zu senden. Ist das vielleicht möglich? Vor allem aber Danke für Deine Arbeit!

Simple but effective
Easy to use and just right for our Woocommerce shop! Thank you

Nice plugin with some issues
Congrats to this plugin! Unfortunately it's only visible on post pages and not as a front layer for contacting support of a webmaster or website team (unless you use shortcode). Button(s) are only visible on end of a post, unless you use shortcode. It works and is actually GDPR compliant :-)

This PlugIn has potential!
I assign a 5-star credit, because its the only plugin, which combines a WhatApp-Chat with a WhatsApp-Share option! Needs refinement though...
