WhatsApp Button is a feature which allows potential clients to directly converse with Dealers or with the Administrator of the site on WhatsApp Messenger.
To enable the WhatsApp Button navigate to WP Dashboard > Motors Plugin > Listing Page Details > Page Layout and activate the WhatsApp Contact Button.
The Administrator of the website can enable the feature for all Dealers on Users> Edit user> STM User / Dealer additional fields. Furthermore, ensure that the 'Phone' field is filled with a valid number in a format that WhatsApp supports.
WhatsApp Button can also be enabled by the dealers of the website. For this, navigate to Profile Settings and fill in the necessary field with the valid phone number checking the box in front of the option “I have a WhatsApp account with this number“.
After Dealers are done with the set up process, they need to save the changes entering their current password into the appropriate field:
