Can I install it on Shopify, WordPress, or Wix?

All of them. One snippet before and the bubble appears. 4 min read

Yes, and you do not need an add-on app from anywhere. The WACO chat bubble is one ordinary piece of HTML, so it installs on any platform that lets you paste code: Shopify, WordPress, WooCommerce, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, or a site you built yourself.

Chats from your store land in the same inbox as WhatsApp and Instagram, answered by the same team, with the same history. There is no separate app to watch.

Get the snippet first

  1. Open Channels in your WACO dashboard.
  2. Under Website live chat, enter your store address and enable it.
  3. Copy the snippet that appears. It is a short <script> block.

One subscription covers any number of websites, and each site gets its own snippet. A Shopify store, a campaign landing page, and a corporate site can all run at once at no extra cost.

Shopify

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
  2. On the live theme, click then Edit code.
  3. In the left panel, open layout/theme.liquid.
  4. Find the </body> line near the bottom and paste the WACO snippet immediately before it.
  5. Click Save, then open your store in a new tab. The bubble appears bottom right.
One honest thing about Shopify: the bubble shows on every storefront page but NOT on checkout. Shopify locks checkout pages against third-party scripts, and that applies to every live chat provider, not just us. If buyers need help while paying, point them to a WhatsApp link on the product page or in the confirmation email.

WordPress and WooCommerce

Two routes, pick whichever suits you:

Wix

  1. Settings → Custom Code → Add Custom Code.
  2. Paste the snippet, choose All pages, and place it at Body – end.
  3. Apply.

Other platforms

The pattern never changes: find where the platform lets you paste code, and put it before </body>. If your platform is not listed but has a menu called "custom code", "footer script", or "code injection", that is the right place.

If the bubble does not appear

Beyond the chat bubble

If your store needs to send WhatsApp messages automatically, such as order confirmations, tracking numbers, or abandoned-cart reminders, that is the WACO API. Your store calls one endpoint and we handle the Meta side. Anything sent more than 24 hours after the buyer last messaged you has to be a template, see when you need a template.
