Beschrijving
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.
- Measure it: Send clicks to Google Analytics or fire a Google Ads conversion tag so that a call counts as a conversion. Using Google Tag Manager instead? There’s a guide for that.
All of the above is free and works without an account.

The account and PRO features are set up inside your WordPress dashboard. No need to leave the plugin to use them.
Our cloud service: NowButtons.com
The account and PRO features above are powered by our cloud service NowButtons. The plugin does not contact our servers at all until you choose to connect it. The button your visitors see is rendered entirely by your own site. It makes no external requests, fetches nothing from us and performs no tracking beyond the Google Analytics or Google Ads tags you configure yourself.
When you do connect, the plugin sends an email address and your domain to our servers to create your account, and your button configuration is then stored on and served from our servers. Requests identify your WordPress and PHP version and your site URL.
- Terms & Conditions: https://nowbuttons.com/legal/terms/
- Privacy statement: https://nowbuttons.com/legal/privacy/
Separately, the plugin can send anonymous error reports and usage statistics to help us fix bugs. This is off by default and only starts if you switch on “Errors and usage” under Settings. It is never enabled on your visitors’ pages.

FAQ
-
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. Connecting to a free NowButtons.com account is still completely free and adds more buttons and more action types (see the plan list in the Description).
-
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.
-
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:
- If you enable Google Analytics click tracking or Google Ads conversion tracking, those are your own tags under your own consent policy. The plugin sends the event; it does not install the tracking scripts.
- If you connect a NowButtons.com account, your button configuration is stored on and served from our servers, and requests identify your site URL, WordPress version and PHP version. No visitor data is involved. See our Privacy statement.
Anonymous error and usage reporting is off by default and never runs on your visitors’ pages.
-
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 can I enter my phone number?
-
You’ll find Call Now Button in your sidebar. Click on it to reveal the button configuration page.
-
Do I have to add a country code to my phone number?
-
You don’t have to, but we recommend that you do to increase your options internationally.
-
Do I start the number with + or 00?
-
In de meeste landen kun je beide prima gebruiken, maar er zijn enkele uitzonderingen. Voor de zekerheid zou ik aanraden het plusteken te gebruiken.
-
Ja, het is mogelijk om tekst aan je knop toe te voegen. Je kunt ervoor kiezen om de tekst in de knop met volledige breedte onderaan of bovenaan het scherm weer te geven. Het is ook mogelijk om een tekstballon naast de ronde knop toe te voegen. Dit werkt voor alle plaatsen, met uitzondering van de middenknopposities bovenaan en onderaan het scherm.
-
Ja! Je kunt de kleur van de knop eenvoudig wijzigen en deze op een van de 8 vooraf ingestelde locaties op het scherm van een telefoon plaatsen. Je hebt ook de mogelijkheid om het uit te spreiden over de volledige onderkant of bovenkant van het telefoonscherm.
-
Yes, you can enter the IDs of posts and pages you wish to include or exclude.
-
De eerste stap is om te controleren of de knop is ingeschakeld – dit is het eerste selectievakje op de configuratiepagina.
Next thing is to make sure that your theme is responsive. Responsive means that the website adapts to the size of the screen it’s being viewed on. Simply put, if you need to zoom in to be able to read the text of your website on your mobile phone, the plugin will not work.
Het laatste dat je moet controleren, is of je een caching plugin hebt geïnstalleerd. Caching plugins maken je site sneller door een kopie van je site te tonen in plaats van de eigenlijke site. Als gevolg hiervan zie je de knop Bel nu niet omdat de kopie is gemaakt voordat de knop werd geïnstalleerd. Om dit op te lossen, ga je naar de instellingenpagina van je cache plugin en maak je de cache leeg (soms de cache opschonen genoemd). Nadat je dit hebt gedaan, zou je de knop moeten zien. Doe hetzelfde elke keer dat je wijzigingen aanbrengt in de knop.
-
Je hebt een caching plugin actief op je site en de gecachte pagina’s tonen een oudere versie van je site. Verwijder/leg de cache en laad de pagina’s opnieuw.
Een andere optie kan zijn dat je de Bel nu knop zo hebt ingesteld dat deze alleen op specifieke pagina’s wordt weergegeven. Ga naar de instellingen van de knop Bel nu, open de tab Presentatie en controleer of het veld naast Weergave beperken leeg is.
-
I need way more flexibility! Isn’t there a PRO version that I can use?
-
Yes, you can connect the plugin to our cloud service. That already enables a bunch of extras for free. From there you can upgrade to PRO. Read the plan list in the Description to see what’s included in PRO, or check out NowButtons.com.
