Discover what makes our live chat better than the rest

User Friendly

Everything you need to deliver awesome customer service

In the competitive web of online business, customer service is an essential element to your success. Our live chat software allows you to connect with your customers instantly and offers everything you need to provide an exceptional customer service experience. With our live chat you can send text, links, images, JavaScript and push a web page to a customer's browser.

Improve customer service with pre-typed responses

Chatting with your customers has never been so easy with our tagged pre-typed responses.
For each pre-typed response, you can add tags to associate common related words. When a customer types one of these words, the pre-typed response is highlighted and acts like a button, which is easily accessible from within the chat transcript. This allows team members to respond to messages more quickly and efficiently and eliminates searching through a long list of responses.

Beautiful design and an interface that will make you smile

The live chat tab is easily added to your web site, allowing your customers to chat with you without switching between your web site and a popup window, keeping your visitors engaged.
Chatstack Chat Window
With unlimited operators and unlimited departments, Chatstack is scalable for any web site. Team members can chat to each other, be assigned to multiple departments, which allows for cross department collaboration and can easily transfer chats between staff.
The administration application features an aesthetically pleasing design with tabbed chat windows. Sound and pop up alerts indicate when a customer is requesting to chat making it easy to accept chat requests. Alerts are also available for pending users and browsing users, which can optionally be turned off. The typing status alert lets team members know when a customer is typing a response. The spell checker automatically checks your spelling while you're typing messages to highlight any errors.

Customer Feedback

Good customer experiences are a win-win for both customers and your business. Research has shown that good customer experiences encourage customer loyalty, which makes them more likely to consider making another purchase, less likely to switch to a competitor and more likely to recommend your business to a friend or colleague.
Customer Satisfaction / Feedback
Chatstack enables you to collect valuable intelligence on the strengths and weaknesses of your business. You can use a customer's questions and feedback provided in the chat transcript to improve the content of your web site and the product range offered. All chat transcripts are automatically saved and can be viewed at a later date for collecting such business intelligence.
At the conclusion of a chat, a customer can rate the support operator. This customer feedback on their live chat experience allows you to pinpoint the best opportunities for improving customer service to build a high quality experience that aligns with or even exceeds your customer's expectations. You can also gather feedback when your live chat team is unavailable using our feedback widget. Gather insight on your visitors even while you're sleeping.
