Website Chat Software Features
Popularity of Live Chat Over Other Channels
Once upon a time, you couldn’t sell a product without providing a phone number on the label. Then it was the turn of an email address. Now, it is chat. This web chat is displayed prominently on your website, available over the desktop and mobile device. Website chat gains even more significance today as texting is how the new-gen customer (millennials, Gen Z) likes to communicate.

FOR YOUR WEBSITE
Standalone website chat software providers should be a strict no, because apart from being digital, your next-gen customers are also omnichannel.
- The chat interface should be simple, but the solution shouldn’t work in a silo
- The customer experience should be easy, but the technology behind it should be serious
