Common Questions
Will this work with my Shopify theme?
Yes! The widget works with all Shopify themes including Dawn, Debut, and custom themes. It's just a script tag that loads independently.
Do I need to add it to every page?
No. Adding it to theme.liquid makes it appear on all pages automatically - product pages, cart, checkout, collections, and homepage.
Will it slow down my Shopify store?
No. At 7KB, it's 20-40x smaller than most Shopify chat apps. It loads asynchronously and won't impact your store speed or Core Web Vitals.
What if I switch themes?
You'll need to add the script tag to your new theme's theme.liquid file. The code stays the same - just copy and paste it again.
Does it work on the checkout page?
Yes! The widget appears on all pages including checkout, cart, and product pages. Perfect for answering last-minute questions before purchase.
