Live chat software for ecommerce that ties into orders

Deskwoot is live chat software for ecommerce stores that ties into your orders, customers, and tracking. Drop the widget on Shopify, WooCommerce, or any site, customise the colours, and your team is talking to visitors with full context.


Overview

Most live chat software treats the conversation as a standalone thing. The customer asks 'where is my order?' and your agent has to alt-tab to Shopify or WooCommerce to find the answer. For ecommerce specifically, that workflow falls apart at any scale.

Deskwoot is built differently. When your Shopify or WooCommerce store is connected, the customer's orders show in the Orders tab next to the chat: items, totals, fulfilment status and tracking. Agents refund, cancel or mark an order shipped right there. Live chat software for ecommerce that actually understands ecommerce.

Match your brand in a few minutes: set the widget colour, position, theme, launcher title and welcome texts, and check the preview before you publish. On the Startup plan and above, Cookieless Mode runs the chat without cookies. The loader script is about 6 KB gzipped and loads asynchronously, so it stays out of the way of your page.

Fynn, the Deskwoot AI agent, answers common questions before an agent steps in: order status (with the order number and postal code), return policy, shipping times. When the customer asks for a person or Fynn cannot help, it hands the chat to your team with a short summary of the issue and the customer's mood.

Compared to LiveChat, Tidio and Intercom, Deskwoot includes email, WhatsApp and the other channels in the same plan, with no fee per channel. You pay per agent, and the price per agent is a fraction of what those tools charge.

What is the best live chat software for ecommerce?

Top live chat software for ecommerce in 2026: Deskwoot (free plan, every channel in one inbox, AI agent, Shopify and WooCommerce orders in the chat), Gorgias (Shopify first, premium), LiveChat (mature, expensive), Tidio (freemium, lightweight). Deskwoot fits stores that want order context and all channels in one inbox at a low price per agent.

What is live chat software?

Live chat software lets website visitors message your team in real time via a chat widget. Modern live chat software bundles a shared inbox for the agent side, an AI bot for after-hours coverage, and integrations with ecommerce platforms so order data appears in the conversation.

What is the best free live chat software?

Tawk.to is the best known free option but has limited customisation. Deskwoot's Free plan includes the live chat widget and a shared inbox for 1 agent, with up to 100 conversations and 10 AI conversations a month. HubSpot Chat is also free but ties you into HubSpot's CRM.

Will the live chat widget slow my page down?

No. The loader script is about 6 KB gzipped and loads asynchronously, and the chat window itself only loads in a separate frame.

Can I disable the chat on specific pages?

Yes. Add the snippet only to the pages where you want the chat, or hide the bubble and open the chat from your own button.

Is live chat software for ecommerce different from generic live chat?

Yes. Ecommerce live chat shows order data, fulfilment status and tracking in the conversation. Generic live chat (Tawk.to, Olark) does not. For Shopify and WooCommerce stores, that is the difference between guessing and answering with real data.
