Have you ever wanted to add a WhatsApp chat call-to-action on your site? There is no Carrd widget for this, but luckily there are others you can add.
We recommend the WhatsApp widget from Elfsight, which you can add for free (with their branding) or pay a little for a more advanced option.
Why would this feature be useful?
Easier to contact you – Your website visitors can get in touch with you and ask questions, instead of leaving if they can’t find answers.
Better onboarding – It could also be useful if prospects want to talk to someone before starting a signup process.
Improve customer service – If you run an app or a service business, customers may want a quick way toresolve issues. Responding faster will increase customer satisfaction.
Note: Embedding a widget requires Carrd Pro Standard for the Embed element
The widget is easy to set up:
- Go through the WhatsApp widget setup steps
- Add the code it gives you to an Embed element in Carrd, set to Hidden.
Here’s an overview video of the WhatsApp widget from Elfsight:
We’ve written other tutorials on adding Elfsight widgets, like Instagram, WhatsApp, Pricing Tables, and Testimonials.
Aiming to use the Carrd free plan?
There are a couple of potential ways you can link WhatsApp on a Carrd free plan.
One is with using Carrd icons. Set up an icon element and find the WhatsApp icon. Then set the link.
The other way is by adding an image of the WhatsApp icon (or any other image you want) and linking it.
For details of how to link your WhatsApp see this page.
