How does the floating WhatsApp button work?
The WhatsApp Button on the website is a feature to direct page visitors to a direct contact channel.
It can just be the type that directs you to WhatsApp with the click of the button and it can also be the type that already captures some visitor data, thus facilitating the work of the professional who will continue the service.

Regardless of the type of button, it usually features a clickable icon with the WhatsApp logo, which can be inserted into any page and has different placement options on the site.
