Is this plugin free?
-
Yes, absolutely! All features, including unlimited short links, WhatsApp chat redirects, click tracking, and dashboard stats, are fully available without any cost.

How do dynamic parameters work in WhatsApp messages?
-
When you insert
{page_title},{page_url}, or{site_title}in your WhatsApp message template, the plugin dynamically detects the referrer page (where the user clicked the link) and inserts that page’s specific information. This allows you to set up a single short link that automatically knows which product or page a user was browsing. -
Can I use it to redirect to any website?
-
Yes, you can redirect users to any internal page or external website. You can choose between a standard 301/302 Redirect URL or a WhatsApp Direct Link.
-
Does it affect my website performance?
-
No. The plugin is extremely lightweight, uses native custom post types, and does not load any bloated external scripts or stylesheets on the frontend.
