Wix: set up LiveChat on your site

4 min. readlast update: 10.17.2023

Wix is a website builder that uses drag and drop tools. It lets you create a beautiful site without any coding or design skills.

Connect your LiveChat with Wix to engage visitors via chat. Use greetings to encourage them to start a conversation, and increase your chances of closing a sale. The installation takes only a minute and opens up a lot of possibilities to provide a better customer service.

Currently, the eye catchers are not supported on Wix sites. To work around this issue, you can set a greeting to be triggered after 0 seconds spent on your website.

Follow the steps below to install LiveChat on your Wix site:

1) Sign in to your Wix account.
