Add store widgets: WhatsApp button, promo tab and popup

Turn on the three floating widgets from the store editor — a WhatsApp chat button, a promo or feedback tab, and an announcement popup — and set exactly what each one says.

The floating elements on your storefront — the WhatsApp chat bubble, the announcement popup and the promo tab — are all set from the store editor, in the Widgets panel. They're independent, so turn on any combination you want.

  1. 1

    Open the Widgets panel

    From your admin dashboard, click Edit store, then pick Widgets in the left toolbar. If you're already in the editor, it's the same icon.

    Turn on the WhatsApp button

    Show on my store switches on a floating chat button. It uses the WhatsApp number from your settings, so there's no second number to keep in sync. Add a prefilled message so the conversation opens with the customer's question already written for them, and upload a custom icon if you'd rather use your own artwork than the default WhatsApp logo.

    Add an announcement popup

    The popup shows over the page the first time someone opens your store — good for a launch promo or a coupon code. Add an image, a heading and body text, an optional promo code pill, and a button that links to a page on your own store. Choose how often it comes back: every visit, once per browser session, or once per day.

    Add a promo or feedback tab

    The third widget is a slim tab pinned to the edge of the screen — a discount, a feedback link, anything you want customers to notice. Give it a short label and a link, then pick which side of the screen it sits on.

    Save, then check it on a phone

    Click Save widgets. Widget changes are not live until you save — that's the difference from the theme, which applies as you go. Reload your storefront afterwards, on a phone as well as a desktop: floating buttons take up more of a small screen.

    The Save widgets button at the end of the Widgets panel

The WhatsApp bubble has no number field of its own — it uses the WhatsApp number from your store settings. If that's empty, the panel tells you it's not set yet, and the button has nothing to open.

Leaving the panel without pressing Save widgets discards that change. The theme behaves differently (it saves as you go), which makes this easy to get wrong.
