Integrated vs. non-integrated live chats for WIX

So does it mean any live chat solution may be good for your website? Definitely not. The problem is that even though you can easily put any live chat to work with WIX, there are some bugs and issues if WIX does not provide a special integration. So e.g. the HTML window you use to set up chat on your web page takes a lot of space, even if you don’t have a chat window opened. What does it mean? It means that if something is located behind your HTML window, the user won’t be able to click it which is unacceptable if you want your website to look professional.WIX integrates natively with numerous other applications. This is why we present you the ranking of the 3 best live chat solutions which are best integrated with WIX so they provide a special plugin you can install directly on your WIX website.

#3 Formilla Live Chat

Formilla offers a live chat integrated into WIX system with the basic free version for one-person teams. How does the integration works?After you create the account, in your WIX editor, you just go to the apps market and add Formilla application to your website. Then, a chat window is added to your page and all you need to do is connect it with your Formilla account through settings. You also get access to the quite extensive customization options in a WIX panel, so you can personalize the fonts as well as colors of your chat window.

Formilla live chat is rather basic but user-friendly live chat solution offering all the most important functions but not going into any advanced features. Apart from chatting with your visitors, you can create pre-chat forms, set basic auto responses and get the basic up to date information about the visitors currently browsing through your website. The reporting functionality is very limited with only basic statistics available so don’t count on any heavy data to optimize the work of your agents. You can also chat with your visitors on the go thanks to the Android and iOS applications. For a premium price starting at $11.99 per agent per month, it is definitely not the best live chat in terms of value-for-money but if you’re looking for a live chat well integrated with your WIX website, it might be worth considering.

#2 — LiveChat

LiveChat is another quite popular live chat solution which integrates seamlessly with WIX. As with Formilla, you only need to select the plugin on your website and connect it to created LiveChat account. Unfortunately, LiveChat provides only very basic settings within WIX platform so if you want to customize it in detail, you have to do it within the operator’s web platform.

This chat solution is known especially for its user-friendliness as its interface is just extremely easy to use, with the built-in tutorial guiding you through each step of the installation and handling process. LiveChat comes in especially handy for e-commerce owners with implemented solutions like ticketing system which might help you handle multiple customer cases.
