MultiContact Buttons

Developed and maintained by Techxabyte: https://techxabyte.com/

MultiContact Buttons is a context-aware contact-routing toolkit. It can prioritize or isolate the most useful configured channel according to the current page type, WooCommerce product category, and business-hours status. It also supports separate floating buttons, an expandable launcher, an always-open contact card, a Gutenberg block, an optional Elementor widget, and a prefixed shortcode.

The plugin is self-contained. It uses local CSS, JavaScript, and SVG icons. It does not load remote fonts or icon libraries, create visitor cookies, use browser storage, or collect click analytics.

Security-conscious design

• Settings are available only to administrators with the manage_options capability.
• Settings are saved through the WordPress Settings API and sanitized before storage.
• Front-end attributes, URLs, labels, and generated markup are escaped for their output context.
• The plugin does not execute administrator-supplied PHP or JavaScript.
• No remote scripts, fonts, icon libraries, tracking pixels, or telemetry are loaded.
• Direct access to plugin PHP files is blocked.

Contact channels

• WhatsApp click-to-chat with a pre-filled message.
• Click-to-call using a standard tel: link.
• SMS using a standard sms: link with an optional pre-filled message.

External services

External services are opened only after a visitor actively clicks a configured button. No request is sent to WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, or a custom destination when a page merely loads.

WhatsApp

The WhatsApp button uses https://wa.me/. After a click, the configured number and expanded message are included in the destination URL.

• Terms: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/terms-of-service
• Privacy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy

Telegram

The Telegram button uses https://t.me/ followed by the administrator-configured public username.

• Terms: https://telegram.org/tos
• Privacy: https://telegram.org/privacy

Messenger

The Messenger button uses https://m.me/ followed by the administrator-configured public username or page ID.

• Terms: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms
• Privacy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/

Custom links and device handlers

The custom button opens the administrator-configured HTTP or HTTPS URL. Call, SMS, and email buttons open the visitor’s selected telephone, messaging, or email application. Each destination or application may have its own terms and privacy practices.

MultiContact Buttons is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by WhatsApp, Telegram, Meta, Facebook, Elementor, or WooCommerce. Product and service names are used only to describe optional integrations and remain trademarks of their respective owners.

Privacy

MultiContact Buttons stores administrator-selected configuration in the WordPress options table.

The plugin does not:

• Set visitor cookies.
• Use local storage or session storage.
• Record button clicks.
• Create visitor profiles.
• Send analytics or telemetry.
• Load remote JavaScript, fonts, icons, or styles.

External services receive information only after a visitor actively clicks the corresponding link. Suggested privacy-policy text is added to WordPress under Settings > Privacy.
