Adding a WhatsApp chat button to your storefront in Lynk Tower makes it easy for students and parents to contact you directly. Instead of filling out a form, visitors can quickly start a conversation with your academy through WhatsApp.

The WhatsApp button appears on your storefront and allows visitors to open a chat with the coach or academy in one click.


Adding the WhatsApp Chat Button

To add a WhatsApp button to your storefront:

  1. Go to Store Builder in Lynk Tower.

  2. Click Open Editor for the storefront you want to update.

  3. In the Sections panel, select Contact on WhatsApp.

  4. The WhatsApp settings will appear in the right-side configuration panel.

From here, you can configure the chat button details.


Entering Your WhatsApp Number

To enable WhatsApp chat, you need to add your contact number.

  • Enter your 10-digit WhatsApp phone number.

  • Make sure the number is active on WhatsApp so visitors can send messages successfully.

Once entered, visitors who click the button will be redirected to a WhatsApp chat with this number.


Setting the Button Label

You can customize the button label that appears on the storefront.

Examples include:

  • Chat with Us

  • Message on WhatsApp

  • Talk to a Coach

  • Contact on WhatsApp

Choose a label that clearly encourages visitors to start a conversation.


Creating a Custom Greeting Message

You can also set a default greeting message that appears when the WhatsApp chat opens.

For example:

  • “Hi, I’m interested in learning more about your classes.”

  • “Hello, I would like to know more about the programs.”

This message helps visitors start the conversation quickly without typing a new message.


Setting the Button Position

You can control where the WhatsApp button appears on the storefront.

The button can typically be positioned in a visible location so visitors can easily access it while browsing the page.

A floating position on the page ensures that the chat option is always accessible.
