The first benefit offered by the Magento 2 WhatsApp extension by Amasty is the ability to share products from your store on WhatsApp. You can add the “Share on WhatsApp” button to any product, allowing customers to instantly share information about your products with any person from their contact list. When a WhatsApp contact opens a shared product URL, they will see the item details, such as title, price, coupon code, and others. Also, note that the Magento 2 social share module is integrated with Bitly. This tool shortens product URLs, which makes them handier and encourages sharing. Besides, the bitly link shortener helps you track your website visitors.

Another opportunity for getting insights into your customers’ interests offered by the Amasty Magento 2 Whatsapp share extension is UTM tracking. With the appropriate code, you can track messages with shared products on WhatsApp. By analyzing the collected data in Google Analytics, you will better understand what goods are the most popular among your webstore visitors. You can use the traffic analysis results when creating marketing campaigns in the future.

In addition to social sharing, the Amasty WhatsApp integration tool extends the options for communicating with customers. The Magento 2 module adds the “Chat on WhatsApp” button to every page of your store, allowing shoppers to contact you instantly. This way, you drastically improve customer service quality and establish closer relations with your potential clients.

Besides, you can utilize WhatsApp integration to receive quotes from your store visitors. After configuring the quote button, you can place it on the product description and order success pages. Thus, you will be able to instantly respond to customers ‘ queries, improving user experience on your storefront and building trust to your business.

You can customize the WhatsApp chat button by changing the background color and applying animation effects to the WhatsApp icon. Moreover, it is possible to create a personalized welcome message and display it to your store visitors to quickly grab their attention.
