What the author says it does
Call Now Button puts a floating call button on your website. On a phone, one tap starts the call. On a desktop, it’s a standard click-to-call link that opens in the visitor’s calling app. Either way, nobody has to hunt for your contact page or copy a number by hand.
It has been doing exactly that since 2013, on more than 200,000 websites.
Set it up in under a minute
Install, enable the button, type your phone number, save. There is no account to create, no code to paste, and nothing more to configure before it works.
From there you can make it yours:
- Label it: Leave the label empty for a clean, circular phone button or add text. The text can sit in a bar across the top or bottom of the screen or in a bubble beside the round button.
- Color it: Pick your own button and icon colors.
- Place it: Choose from 8 preset screen positions or spread the button across the full width of the top or bottom of the screen.
- Size it: Use one slider to set the button size and another to place the button behind other page elements when something else, such as a cookie notice, needs to sit on top.
- Show it where it belongs: Enter post and page IDs to show the button only on those pages or to exclude those pages.
- Show it to the right devices: Choose mobile only, desktop only, or both.

Questions the author answers
Is it free? What do I get without an account?
Yes. Without an account you get one call button with labels, your own colors, all 8 screen positions, button size and layering controls, include/exclude by post and page ID, mobile/desktop control, Google Analytics click tracking and Google Ads conversion tracking. No account, no signup, no code.
Does it work on desktop?
Yes. You choose whether the button shows on mobile only, desktop only, or both. On mobile a tap starts the call directly. On desktop the button is a standard tel: link, the same kind used across the web. The visitor’s computer opens it in whichever app handles calls, such as Teams, a softphone or a phone-linked app like Phone Link on Windows or Handoff on a Mac.
Does it slow down my site?
No. Without an account, no external service is contacted at all. The button is rendered by your own site and nothing is fetched from us. If you connect to an account, your button configuration is served from a CDN, loaded asynchronously and cached in WordPress rather than fetched on every page view.
Does it work with Elementor, Divi, WooCommerce and other themes and page builders?
Yes. The button is added to the page independently of your theme or page builder, so it works alongside all of them. The only requirement is a responsive theme. If you have to zoom in to read your site on a phone, the button will not behave correctly.
Is it GDPR compliant? Does it set cookies?
Without a NowButtons.com account the plugin sets no cookies, collects no personal data and makes no external requests. The button is rendered by your own site. Nothing about your visitors reaches us and nothing is loaded from our servers.
Two things to be aware of:
What data goes to NowButtons when I connect to your cloud service?
When you create an account, the email address you enter and your site’s domain are sent to us. After that, your button configuration is stored on and served from our servers, and requests identify your WordPress version, PHP version and site URL. Nothing is sent before you connect. See the Privacy statement and Terms & Conditions.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
