Description
65–75% of local business website traffic comes from mobile — yet most WordPress themes bury the phone number in the header and hide the “Book Now” button at the top of the page. Once a visitor scrolls, your most important CTA disappears.
ButtonFlow fixes this in minutes.
Install the plugin, set your button label and action, and a beautiful floating button will appear at the bottom of every mobile screen — staying permanently visible as the user scrolls. One tap to call. One tap to book. One tap to start a WhatsApp conversation.
No page builder. No theme editing. No code.
Who is this for?
- Aesthetic clinics & medspas
- Restaurants & cafes
- Law firms & consultants
- Real estate agents
- Any local business that gets mobile traffic and wants more leads

-
How do I set up the WhatsApp action?
-
Select “WhatsApp” as the action type, then enter your phone number in international format (e.g.,
628123456789). You can also customize the pre-filled message text. -
Is this plugin free?
-
Yes. The core plugin is 100% free and always will be. A Pro version with advanced features is planned for a future release.

Will it slow down my site?
