Wix App: Viewing and Chatting with Live Site Visitors


See who is on your site in real-time and start chatting with them directly from the Wix app. View information such as the visitor's location, which page they are on, and the exact amount of time they've spent on your site. If the visitor is a registered site member, you can also see their name.


Important:


To chat with your site visitors, you must have the Wix Chat or Wix Smart Chat app installed on your site.

View your live site visitors on your site's dashboard in your Wix app, and communicate with them via Wix Chat or Wix Smart Chat, directly from your app.


The message pops up in the chatbox on your site for the visitor to see and respond to.
