Styling Your WhatsApp Button #
Go to Settings > Styling and customize the appearance of your WhatsApp button with these options:

- Font style
- Button type
- Button size adjustment
- Button position
- Advanced styling settings

Advanced Settings #
Navigate Settings > Advanced and fine-tune your WhatsApp with:

Here’s an example of CSS code that creates a pulsing animation effect for your Whatsapp button:
.custom-wa-float-btn_button-wrap {
animation: pulse-bounce 2s infinite ease-in-out;
}
@keyframes pulse-bounce {
0% {
transform: scale(1);
}
50% {
transform: scale(1.1);
}
100% {
transform: scale(1);
}
}
- Tracking implementation: Monitoring customer button clicks using Google Analytics and Meta Pixel. For detailed guidance, please refer to our dedicated tracking manual.
