Platform-Specific Customization

Show on Specific Pages Only

In Script Manager, choose a specific location:

  • All Pages: Widget on every page
  • Storefront Pages: Only shop pages
  • Checkout: Only checkout flow
  • All Pages (except checkout): Excludes checkout

Verification

Quick test:

  1. Visit your store frontend
  2. Look for the chat bubble in the bottom-right corner
  3. Test sending a message

Troubleshooting

Widget doesn't appear after saving

Cause: Browser cache.

Solution: Clear cache or test in incognito mode.

Widget conflicts with BigCommerce chat

Cause: BigCommerce has built-in chat options that may conflict.

Solution: Disable BigCommerce's built-in chat in Store Settings.

Widget overlaps with cart preview

Cause: Both elements fixed to corner.

Solution: Use data-position="bottom-left" in the widget code.

Known Limitations

  • Script Manager is the only GUI method for site-wide installation
  • Theme file changes may be overwritten on updates
  • Checkout page scripts require specific placement settings
