What It Does

This plugin places a Call Now Button (click-to-call button) to the bottom of the screen. Because your mobile visitors already have a phone in their hands, this plugin will allow them to call you with one simple touch of the button. No more navigating to the contact page and no more complicated copy/pasting or memorizing the phone number!

Connect to our cloud service to enable more action buttons such as WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Messenger, SMS/Text, Email, Directions, Skype, Viber, Zalo, WeChat, Line, and more. The settings are very easy: enable and enter your phone number. That’s it!

The label allows you to add some text to your button. Leaving the label empty will show a nice circular phone button to your visitors. Under the Presentation tab, you can change the colors of the button, move it to a different screen position, and limit the pages on which the button should be visible.

In the Settings menu, you’ll find a bunch of features such as click tracking in Google Analytics, fire a conversion tag so a call is registered as a conversion in Google Ads, adjust the size of the button, or move the button further backwards in case you want something else to sit on top of it. Connect the plugin to our cloud service NowButtons.com to unlock more features.
