Live Chat

Customize the chat widget

Set the chat widget's logo, name, colors, greeting, suggested questions, and position on the page.

Make the chat widget look like part of your site. Your changes apply to every site the widget runs on.

Go to Settings > Live Chat and open the Appearance tab. A live preview next to the fields shows your changes as you make them. When you're done, click Save changes in the bar at the bottom, or Discard to undo.

What it says

SettingWhat it does
GreetingSent as soon as someone opens the chat. Put each message on its own line to send it as a separate bubble.
Suggested questionsShown as buttons under the greeting, so a visitor can start without typing. One per line. Leave it empty for none. They disappear once the visitor sends a message.
Message box placeholderThe gray hint text in the box where visitors type.

Where it sits

SettingWhat it does
CornerPuts the chat button at the Bottom left or Bottom right of the page.
Distance from the edgeMoves the button away from the corner, in pixels, with separate Bottom and Side values (0 to 240). Use it to keep the button clear of a cookie bar or a back-to-top arrow.

Tips

  • Keep the greeting short. One or two lines works best on a phone.
  • Write suggested questions the way customers ask them, like "Where is my order?" If you use AI replies, make sure your knowledge base can answer them.
