It provides a structured contact widget that helps website visitors indicate what they need before continuing the conversation through WhatsApp. Instead of waiting for a visitor to find and complete a traditional contact form, 247ChatMate presents clear visitor buttons for common enquiries such as quotes, pricing and availability. The enquiry can then be captured and handed into WhatsApp, giving service businesses a simple alternative to a traditional live chat or contact form. The Free version includes a fixed set of visitor buttons and lets you browse and preview the wider business-type catalogue before upgrading. #### WhatsApp chat and enquiry capture 247ChatMate combines structured enquiry capture with WhatsApp chat. Visitors can select what they are contacting the business about before continuing the conversation. This helps businesses receive more useful enquiries rather than an unstructured WhatsApp message. #### Lead generation for service businesses 247ChatMate is designed as a lead generation and contact widget for WordPress service- business websites. It helps turn website visitors into structured enquiries without requiring a website rebuild or complex live chat system. #### Key features * WhatsApp chat handoff * Structured enquiry capture * WordPress lead generation widget * Lightweight contact widget * Lead capture and lead email notifications * Alternative to traditional live chat for service businesses * Fixed Free visitor buttons * Browse and preview 467 business types across 44 categories * Searchable, alphabetically organised business-type catalogue * Keyboard navigation in business-type search * Mobile-friendly interface * Designed for WordPress service-business websites * No website rebuild required #### Free version The Free version uses four fixed visitor buttons: * Get a quote * Pricing * Availability * Something else You can browse and preview the full business-type catalogue in Free, but business- specific setups require Pro. #### How is 247ChatMate different from a basic WhatsApp plugin?

Visitors can indicate what they need, helping the business receive a more useful enquiry before continuing the conversation. #### Privacy 247ChatMate may process information entered by website visitors as part of an enquiry. Site owners are responsible for configuring and using the plugin in accordance with their own privacy obligations and applicable law.
