How to add a WhatsApp button to Wix

How do I add a WhatsApp button to Wix without code?

Wix has a visual editor where you drag elements onto the page. A regular button already works as a WhatsApp button, because all it needs is a text and an address to send the person to.

There are also third-party apps that create the floating button with the green icon. They work, but they usually ask only for a phone number and build a wa.me link behind the scenes. If you want to know how many clicks you get, a regular button with your own link is the most direct path.

If you are just starting, the suggestion is to keep it simple: one very visible button and one single link. Once everything works, you can refine it with tags per page.

Menu and screen names in Wix change from time to time. Use the steps below as a general guide and look for options with similar names.

Step by step: a WhatsApp button with a link that counts clicks

Before you open Wix, get the link ready. Create your free WhatsClicks account, save your number with the country code and write the starting message the person will send, for example: Hi, I found you on your website and I would like a quote. The dashboard generates an address that looks like https://whatsclicks.com/w/code.

1. Open the Wix editor and go to the page where the button should appear.
2. Add a button element and drag it to the spot you chose, such as the top of the page or next to the contact form.
3. Type the button text, for example: Chat on WhatsApp.
4. Open the button options and look for the action that connects it to a link. The name can vary, but it is usually something like Link or On click.
5. Choose the web address option and paste the WhatsClicks link.
6. If there is an option to open in a new tab, turn it on. That way the visitor does not lose your site.
7. Publish the site and test it on your phone.

What changes in the address: from wa.me to the WhatsClicks link

Many people already have a button working with wa.me and just want to swap the address. It is simple: you replace the old link with the new one on the same button. The look does not change and the chat opens the same way, but now the click is recorded.

Here is the before and after:

• Before: https://wa.me/15551234567?text=Hi%2C%20I%20found%20you%20on%20your%20website
• After: https://whatsclicks.com/w/abc123

The number and the code are examples. The starting message is now saved in the dashboard, so you can change it without touching Wix.

How do I tag the page and the button in Wix?

If your site has several pages with a WhatsApp button, it is worth tagging each one. That way the dashboard shows which page and which button bring the most clicks. The link accepts two tags: ?p= for the page and &src= for the button.

Here is an example for the button at the top of the services page and another for the button in the footer of the home page:

• https://whatsclicks.com/w/abc123?p=/services&src=top
• https://whatsclicks.com/w/abc123?p=/home&src=footer

How does the button look on mobile and on desktop?

In Wix, the mobile version can have its own adjustments, separate from the desktop version. After adding the button, check the mobile view and make sure it is not hidden behind another element or far from the thumb.

A large button with clear text near the start of the page is usually easier to find. After a few days, the WhatsClicks dashboard shows the device used for the clicks (phone, tablet or computer), so you can check whether the adjustment paid off.

If your Wix site has a store or a blog, repeat the same idea in those areas. A button at the end of each article or on each product page, tagged with the page name in ?p=, shows in the dashboard which content leads more people to contact you.

You do not need to create a new link for every button. A single link with different tags does the job, and you can still create separate links whenever you want to compare different starting messages.

What should I check after publishing?

Click the button on your phone and see whether WhatsApp opens with your number and the right message. Then open the dashboard and confirm the click showed up in the Summary. Your own clicks count too, so do not be surprised to see your test there.

Remember that the counter measures clicks, not sales or closed conversations. It helps you find out what brings people to your WhatsApp. If you ever change your number, edit the link in the dashboard: the Wix button will open the new number with no change needed on the site.
