we sell a chat widget. we made a free whatsapp button.

We sell a chat for your website. Our site now also has a free WhatsApp button generator. Yes, the thing a lot of people pick instead of a chat. Here’s what it is and why it exists.

what it makes

The generator asks for four things: your number, the message a visitor starts with, the text on the button and a color. You get the code to paste before </body> and the plain wa.me link.

• No signup. You type, you see the button, you copy it.
• One link, no script. The button is a single link with its own styles and the icon inside. It loads nothing from us or anyone else, sets no cookies and has nothing to update.
• It checks the number. Most broken WhatsApp buttons have a number without the country code, or with a 0 in front. The tool strips spaces, + and 00, and tells you when the number looks local.
• A small “by spookat.com” under it. That’s the whole price. Keep it if the tool helped, or delete that one line.

It works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow or a plain HTML file: anywhere you can paste code.

why a chat company gives this away

The person searching “whatsapp button for website” is a business owner who wants visitors to be able to ask something. That’s our customer, at the exact moment they decide how. If we don’t hand them the button, a WhatsApp API vendor does, and pitches its own product next.

And for plenty of businesses the button is the right call. One person, a phone that’s already the office, customers who already write on WhatsApp: a link is enough, and we say so.

where the button stops

The button sends the visitor off your page, into an app, to one phone number. They need WhatsApp, and they hand you their number to ask whether you ship on Saturdays. On your side, the whole team shares one account.

That’s where a chat on your website takes over. The visitor types on the page they’re already on, without an account, and your team answers from a Slack thread or from our inbox and its phone app, each under their own name. No cookies, and nothing loads from us until they click. Plenty of sites run both.
