Features
Provide awesome support for your customers and increase the potential clients.
Awesome live chat was built with care and good technologies all around, including coffee script and less for smooth development with high OOP PHP structure.

Excellent for quick support
You can answer visitor queries in seconds with a intuitive chat experience. Make the feel awesome.
Non breakable chat sessions
Yes! The chat experience transfers over to other tabs that people visit during a chat. Never loose a client running away.
Responsive on the go
Visitors will feel a responsive feel whether using desktop, tablet or mobile.
Infinite operators
There is no limit to the number of operators you maintain. Have as many of them as you desire.
Infinite departments
Departments are infinite. All depends upon your organization.
Offline messages
Office hours closed? Let visitors send you offline messages.
Post chat transcripts
Visitors have the ability to send themselves a transcript of the chat session.
Know your visitors
You will find out where your visitors are coming from, including the country (with a flag) and ip address.
Awesome dashboard
First time seen dashboard. All smooth, slick and responsive. Adjust the plugin from the dashboard intuitively.
… and much much more.
Note for using iframe
Since v1.2.7, you may embed the iframe with no cross domain restrictions, however there will be no support for iframe embed as this feature is out of the scope of WordPress.
To embed the iframe in a non wordpress website (static html maybe?), paste the following code in the footer:
<iframe id="awesome_live_chat_frame" src="http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/awesome-live-chat/frontend/frame.php" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position: fixed; bottom: 0; right: 0; margin: 0; width: auto;"> </iframe> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="//example.com/wp-content/plugins/awesome-live-chat/js/iframeResizer.min.js"></script> <script src="//example.com/wp-content/plugins/awesome-live-chat/frontend/js/iframe.js"></script>
Where example.com
is the root url to your wordpress website where you have installed the plugin. If you already have jQuery loaded, you may remove the jQuery include from the above code but make sure you include the required scripts after jQuery.
