Adding Chat Button to Your Shopify Store
Add a button for easy communication.
A chat button is a direct communication channel with your store's visitor and your team.
Customers can confuse sometimes or need to ask for more information about your products and services. When this happens this chat button comes to play.
Using WhatsApp for chat operations is more flexible for visitors. Since WhatsApp is almost pre-installed on every smart phone -and nearly replaces sms and email sometimes- its easier to give a familiar channel to your customers is a good idea.
