Chat2Book Button
Beschrijving
Chat2Book Contact Button lets visitors contact you on WhatsApp with prefilled details (dates, guests, participants) instead of filling long forms. Ideal for small hospitality and activities where messaging is faster than email.
Features
– Shortcode with two modes:
– bnb: check-in, check-out, guests
– excursion: date, participants
– Customizable message templates with placeholders
– Multiple instances on the same page (unique IDs)
– Client-side validation (dates and required fields)
– No tracking, no data stored on the server
– Translation-ready (IT/EN included)
What it doesn’t do
This is not a full booking engine: no payments, no availability calendars. It simply opens WhatsApp with a ready-to-send message.
Privacy
The plugin doesn’t store or transmit personal data to your server. The message is composed client-side and opened via wa.me.
Trademark notice
WhatsApp is a trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc. This plugin is not affiliated with, sponsored or approved by Meta or WhatsApp.
