About this tool.
Smartcode Live Chat is a self-hosted live chat plugin that puts an instant messaging widget on your WordPress site in minutes — no third-party accounts, no monthly SaaS fees, and no visitor data sent to servers you don’t control. Everything runs on your own hosting, in your own database.
When a visitor starts a chat, your agents are notified instantly. They accept the conversation from the WordPress admin bar or dashboard, reply in a real-time popup window, and the visitor sees responses as they’re typed. Provide online support to your visitors with a privacy friendly live chat plugin.
