Smartcode Live Chat Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Smartcode Live Chat puts a live chat widget on your WordPress site in minutes — no third-party accounts, no monthly SaaS fees, and no visitor data sent to servers you don’t control. Everything runs on your own hosting, in your own database.
When a visitor starts a chat, your agents are notified instantly. They accept the conversation from the WordPress admin bar or dashboard, reply in a real-time popup window, and the visitor sees responses as they’re typed.
For Visitors
- Clean, unobtrusive chat bubble — bottom-left or bottom-right
- Customizable welcome message and primary color to match your brand
- Real-time queue position (“You are next!” or “3 chats before you”)
- Typing indicator so visitors know the agent is responding
- Star rating at the end of every chat
- Transcript sent to their email on request
- Chat stays open as visitors browse between pages on your site
- Offline contact form when no agents are available
For Agents
- Toggle online/offline from the WordPress admin bar — available on any admin page and on the front end while logged in
- Accept the next waiting customer with one click
- Real-time chat popup window with typing indicator
- See the customer’s name, email, and how long they’ve been waiting
- View and search their own chat history, with ratings and transcripts
For Managers
- Live queue view with wait times
- Online agents dashboard
- Full chat history with filters by agent, date range, and rating
- Daily Report — chats per day, per-agent stats (chats handled, average first response time, average duration, abandoned chats)
- Chat Overview report for any date range — totals, completion rate, abandonment rate, and a star rating breakdown
Technical
- All data stored in your own WordPress database — zero external dependencies
- Works with any WordPress theme
- Translation-ready — ships with a Spanish (es_ES) translation
- Developer-friendly, with 25+ action and filter hooks for custom integrations (

How It Works
- Install and activate — you’re redirected to a setup guide automatically
- Create users with the Chat Agent or Chat Manager role

That’s it — your visitors will see the chat bubble immediately.
