order on whatsapp button

Post by emilaa » Wed Dec 04, 2024 10:31 am

Hello, I want to add a button to order from WhatsApp, on the products page.
When clicked, it should automatically send the product name and product code to my WhatsApp number.
I couldn't find any plugins for this.
How can I solve it?
Can you help me?

Hi. Not quite what you need, but it may be a good starting point for you. viewtopic.php?f=814&t=998492#p3679778

Having converted a little this decision, you can craete what you need. However, this requires at least the minimum skills of JQuery/JS, HTML, CSS. If you do not have these skills, it will be easier to hire someone for this simple work.

E-commerce is becoming more and more widespread every day, such plugins are available for WordPress, why don't Joomla developers follow such innovations?

Hi. A strange question. The Joomla developers are Independent and do what they want or can. The WordPress plugins market is an order of magnitude more than Joomla extensions market, as WordPress is the most popular CMS. No one prevents you from becoming a Joomla developer, make your extensions and sell them. Or increase your web master skills so that you do not depend on third -party extensions in general.

Also, the Joomla structure allows you to embody various solutions using custom code. Which makes meaningless from a commercial point of view, the production of many extensions. Of course, this requires increased skills for the user.

WordPress is more suitable for beginners who have no skills but have money to buy plugins.

And perhaps plugin as you need exist for Joomla too. You just haven't found it yet.

Did you try the solution from the other topic that Pavel-ww mentioned?

WordPress has indeed many plugins, but Joomla gives you a lot of flexibility for customization, even when there are no specific plugins available.

Joomla developers usually focus on flexibility and stability. Therefore there might be less ready-made plugins available compared to WordPress. But Joomla's customization options make it possible to add features like this without 3rd party plugins, just with adding simple scripts.
