Customers type their WhatsApp number, receive a six-digit code from your own number, and are signed in — no password to remember. It works with or without WooCommerce, on every SocialMate plan.
Switch it on
- Open SocialMate → Website → Sign in with WhatsApp and turn on Send them a code. A code lasts five minutes, works once, and only in the browser that asked for it.
- Choose where it appears: the shop account page (WooCommerce My Account, checkout sign-in and register form), anywhere you put
[socialmate_login], and — if you want — the WordPress login screen. - Decide whether a new number may sign up this way (off to begin with). It creates a plain customer account with no other permissions.
- Optionally word the message yourself — keep
{code}in it — and press Save.
Built to be safe. Requests are throttled, an unknown number gets the same answer as a known one (so nobody can probe who has an account), and an editor or administrator is never signed in by a code.
