Website chat

Add an AI chatbot to your Shopify store.

Add your InsertChat assistant to your Shopify storefront using the installation guide in the app. Teach it with your product information and store policies, then bring customer questions into your inbox.

Shopify

To add an AI chatbot to your Shopify store, copy your assistant’s embed code from InsertChat’s Shopify guide, open Online Store → Edit code for your theme, and paste it before the closing body tag in the storefront layout. Save and publish. The chat answers shoppers from your product information and store policies.

Help shoppers understand your products before buying

A shopper asks about a product’s size or your return policy. Your website assistant answers from the product information and policies you have added to its knowledge. Keep those sources current and pass order-specific requests, including order changes and refunds, to your support team. The storefront installation connects these customer questions to your InsertChat inbox.

Where the code goes in Shopify

Location: Online Store → Edit code, before the closing body tag in the storefront layout

Requirements: Shopify lets you edit a theme’s code only after you’ve purchased the theme and suggests duplicating it first. Storefront code doesn’t add chat to checkout.

A website install adds the chat to your pages without signing in to your Shopify account or reading its data. The assistant answers from the knowledge you add, and every conversation lands in your shared inbox.

Shopify: common questions

Plans, placement, and setup

Use the Shopify guide in your assistant’s website installation settings. Copy the generated embed code and follow the instructions for adding it to your storefront theme. This setup adds website chat; it does not authorize access to your Shopify account.

Add product information and store policies to the assistant’s knowledge and keep those sources current. The storefront embed does not automatically grant access to live orders, refunds, or inventory. Pass order-specific requests to your support team.

Open your assistant’s website installation settings in InsertChat, choose the Shopify guide, and copy the embed code. In Shopify, open the theme code editor, add the code before the closing body tag in the storefront layout, then save and publish the theme.

No. Storefront theme code doesn’t install chat in checkout, so the chat appears on your product, collection, and content pages.
