Adding a live chat feature

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://www.channonscountrystore.com/

Hi, I want to add a live chat feature to my site however because we are a small team, I need something that allows me to reply from my phone so I am not tied to a computer. 

It would be great if I could have multiple people able to reply but it is not necessary.

I tried adding the Facebook messenger chat tool however it seems that I cant receive notifications if somebody sends us a message which is very important to me.

Is there such a tool that allows me to do this? Even better if it is a free one!

Thanks in advance, Henry

There are an increasing number of chat services available, including services that are "live" for real-time, interactive chats, as well as services that offer asynchronous chat, where a customer can send a message and you can reply later - similar to mobile messaging services.

One of the best free live chat services is tawk.to. There's an phone app and you can schedule your availability if required.

If you're looking for a paid solution that is really easy to install on Squarespace, there's now a Squarespace Extension called LiveChat which supports WhatsApp and Messenger - and others.
