Install Facebook Live Chat


What is Facebook live chat?


Facebook live chat is a chat system, which allows you to instantly communicate with your website visitors via instant messaging. The chat simply appears within their browser window, and your customer/visitor can chat with an operator by typing into the live chatbox. Facebook live chat is only available for business accounts, so you  have to make a business account first.
 

Why use Facebook live chat?


Facebook live chat is a quick and easy solution which offers a faster communication between seller and buyer. It will help you avoid a huge amount of customer service through the phone, because you will support your customers via messenger on your website.

Some things you should know before you begin:  

If you want to follow this guide it is important that you choose “Danish” as your language, otherwise this guide will not make sense. If you don’t want your Facebook Business account to be in Danish, we recommend you contact Facebook's own support.
