Description

GRC Contact Buttons + Universal Tracker is the all-in-one solution for WooCommerce stores that want both beautiful contact buttons AND complete analytics.

2 plugins in 1:

Contact Buttons on WooCommerce product pages (Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, TikTok, Phone, Email, Viber, Telegram, Instagram)
Universal Click & Form Tracker for the ENTIRE site – tracks every contact link regardless of where it is (header, footer, widgets, product page)

What’s new in 2.4.x:

✅ Source column – Automatically detects traffic source: fbclid = Facebook, gclid/gad_source = Google Ads, utm_source/utm_medium/utm_campaign, referrer domain
✅ Beautiful new icons – Official brand logos, pill-shaped buttons (999px radius), hover effects, shadows – looks premium
✅ Modular – You can enable ONLY tracking without buttons, or ONLY buttons without tracking (Contact Tracker > Settings)
✅ Universal tracking – Tracks ALL tel:, mailto:, wa.me, m.me/, t.me/, viber://, ig.me/m/, tiktok.com links from anywhere on site, not just product buttons
✅ All forms tracking – CF7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Elementor Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable, WS Form, generic HTML forms, WooCommerce checkout – only successful submissions

Features:

Independent enable/disable toggle for each contact channel
For each channel you can set recipient (phone number, username, or email address)
Default message configurable per channel with placeholders {product} and {link} – automatically replaced with product name and URL
Built-in premium SVG icons for each channel, no external dependencies
Modern pill-shaped buttons with shadows and hover animations
Dashboard with monthly stats: Contact Tracker > Dashboard
Daily evolution chart, Top numbers/emails/forms, Last 150 events with Source column
Top Traffic Sources report (Facebook / Google Ads / UTM)
All settings managed from Contact Tracker > Settings and Settings > Social Buttons
Tracking works even if button is disabled – universal site-wide detection

Use cases:

Only tracking: Disable buttons display and keep tracking enabled – perfect for stats only
Only buttons: Enable buttons, disable tracking – no DB storage
Everything: Keep all 3 modules enabled (recommended)

This plugin requires WooCommerce only if you enable product page buttons. Tracking works without WooCommerce.

FAQ

Does the plugin work without WooCommerce?

Yes for tracking! Universal click tracking and form tracking work without WooCommerce. Product page buttons require WooCommerce. You can disable buttons and use only tracking if you don’t have WooCommerce.

Can I use only tracking without buttons?

Yes! Go to Contact Tracker > Settings and disable the product contact buttons toggle while keeping click tracking and form tracking enabled. Perfect if you only want analytics.

What does Source column track?

The plugin automatically detects:

utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign from URL
fbclid parameter = Facebook / cpc
gclid, gbraid, wbraid, gad_source = Google / cpc (Google Ads)
srsltid = Google / organic
Referrer domain (facebook.com, google, instagram.com, etc)
Fallback to Direct if no source found

Works for old data too – it parses page_url for fbclid/gclid even if utm columns are empty.

Does the prefilled message work on every channel?

WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, and Email prefill the message directly in the link. Facebook Messenger (m.me/USERNAME?text=…) supports pre-filling officially but Meta doesn’t guarantee it works on every device. TikTok and Instagram do not allow prefilling due to platform restrictions; the configured text is shown as tooltip instead.

Can I change the text displayed on the buttons?

Yes, every channel has editable “Button text” field. Translate or customize as you like.

Which forms are tracked?

Server-side: Contact Form 7 (wpcf7_mail_sent), WPForms (wpforms_process_complete), Gravity Forms (gform_after_submission), Fluent Forms (fluentform_submission_inserted), Elementor Pro Forms (elementor_pro/forms/new_record), Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, WS Form
Client-side JS: wpcf7mailsent, wpformsAjaxSubmitCompleted, elementor-pro/forms/success, fluentform_submission_success, gform_confirmation_loaded
Generic: Add data-cct-track="Form Name" attribute to any tag and it will be tracked on successful submit.

Does tracking respect GDPR?

The plugin stores only event type (tel, whatsapp, etc), event value (phone number or form title), page URL, referrer, and UTM source. No personal data from visitors is stored. IP is not stored. For full GDPR compliance, mention it in your privacy policy.
