Steps to Set Up HappyFox Live Chat for WooCommerce
Step 1: Set up your Pre-chat form
To start chatting with your customers, you can first set up a pre-chat form. This form helps you collect information about your store visitor before he gets to chat with your support team. The primary contact information fields in HappyFox Chat are Name, Email, and Phone number. In-built fields like Departments can also be utilized to route chats to agents belonging to a specific department.
Once you collect the email address of the customer, the integration between WooCommerce and HappyFox Chat fetches the order history and live cart details of the customer.
Step 2: Enable order history
When you link your WooCommerce account, you can choose to show the order history and cart information to your agents. By enabling both the settings as shown in the image, HappyFox Chat will fetch the past orders and live cart details of the visitor who initiates a chat.
Step 3: View the order history of the website visitors as you chat.
You should now start seeing the order history or live cart details of the visitors in the chat box during a chat. Upon clicking a specific order, you can also see details like the order id, shipping and billing address, number of items purchased, and payment status of the order.
Your agents can further drill down on the items and see the item name, quantity and price. Support on the go by avoiding back and forth between the store login and live chat, thereby enriching the customer experience.
Step 4: Do a test run to check if the integration is working fine
Finally, do a test chat as a visitor from your website. Enter your contact details in the pre-chat form and check if your sample past orders or cart information are getting populated on the chat dashboard.
