Integration


As a WooCommerce user, you can take advantage of an additional feature dedicated to customer service in online stores: sending product cards directly in the conversation window. If you have the WooCommerce plugin installed, you will be able to integrate with Tidio to take advantage of this functionality.

Settings > Live Chat > Installation with the WooCommerce tab selected and its integration instructions visible.

You will need to grant Tidio additional permissions for some operations:

WooCommerce requesting approval for Tidio to read store data.

Once you agree, Tidio will be fully integrated with your site and WooCommerce plugin.

Settings > Live Chat > Installation on a WooCommerce demo project with the successful installation status visible.

From now on, when chatting with a customer, you will be able to locate your products quickly and conveniently refer visitors to them by sending a card directly to the widget.

Once you're done, the chat widget should appear on your WooCommerce store. By default, its location is in the lower right-hand corner. You can change the position in the Settings panel and set up more rules or adjust the appearance of your chat widget.
