Purpose
tawk.to is a 100% FREE live chat app that lets you monitor and chat with visitors on your Opencart site. No catch. No spam. No wares.
You will be able to live chat with store visitors, and help them with problems in real-time, thereby increasing sales. What's more, you can monitor visitors - at any point in time, you can see how many people are active on the store, which country they are from, which site they came from, which page they are browsing, etc.
tawk is not kidding when it says:
- Gain valuable insight when you monitor your website visitors in real time.
- Stay connected anywhere, be in touch with your customers from your computer, or your mobile.
- Live Chat is convenient for your customers, helping them through pain points and as a result helping you generate better customer support and higher conversions.
This extension adds tawk.to integration to your OpenCart store.
PLUS, for your customers logged into the OpenCart store, the extension grabs the name and email address, and passes on that information to Tawk, so that when you are monitoring or chatting, you know who you are talking to...
