Whatsapp business number integration

Implement a whatsapp intergration that supports Whatsapp business as well. I managed to create the whatsapp widget, but found that it does not work with my whatsapp business account.

    Hello friends!

    I'm happy to say that business accounts are supported in the WhatsApp Widget! 🎉

    You may find the guide on how to add your business account right in the widget's settings, or just follow this link: https://faq.whatsapp.com/smba/account-and-profile/how-to-create-short-links/?lang=en.


    If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

    The simple reason for this features omission is cost, around five fold to Elfsight I underatand it to be.


    Integration would change Elfsight's pricing structure, and just for a single feature, so it's not worth it.


    What would be is if more of the business features were made available to justify a higher cost. But it would be quite steep to increase the current pricing structure by a factor of five.

    Hi Luca,

    Thank you for your comment!

    I totally understand your feelings and that this feature is crucial for you, and I'm truly sorry that we don't support it yet.

    We strive to add new features to our widgets, however, everything depends on our development team overall load. At the moment we have to choose the most popular features first to implement them since our devs are extremely busy with urgent tasks.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to hardcore business number manually, however, we'll try our best to pay attention to this request in our future updates.

    I'm really sorry that the process of adding new feature is not that prompt as you expected 🙏🏻

    Thanks a lot for your understanding!
