How to integrate Comm100 Live Chat with your Shopify Store

Comm100’s integration with Shopify allows you to add your Comm100 Live Chat app into your Shopify store. It takes a few clicks to get live chat up and running on your Shopify store, so you’ll be chatting with your customers in no time.

After the integration, you will see your Shopify store customers' data within Comm100 Agent Console. Specifically, you’ll have quick access to their information and order history, live information of their Shopify carts, and receive real-time notifications when a customer’s cart is updated with new or removed items.
