What it does
Email and contact forms make visitors wait for an answer. A live chat box lets them ask a question and get a reply while they are still on the page. This plugin brings Skype's chat into your WordPress site, so people can reach you through a familiar messaging tool. Conversations can include several users at once, and photos and files can be shared inside the chat. A chat history keeps past conversations available for follow-ups.
The chat box can be shown on the pages and posts where you want it, such as a contact page, a services page or a product post. Its look is adjustable: you can change colors, edit the button text to match your tone and add animations that draw attention to the button. The plugin is a practical fit for small businesses, consultants and support teams that already use Skype and want visitors to reach them from the website.
Best for
- Small businesses offering live customer support
- Consultants who take quick questions from site visitors
- Teams that already communicate with clients on Skype
