Live chat that looks like your store
Add a chat bubble to your Online Store theme with an app embed, styled from the theme editor with no code.
The Ferry Desk chat is a Shopify theme app embed. Turn it on in the theme editor and it appears on every page of your store.
- Match your brand. Choose light or dark, primary, accent and secondary colors, corner roundness, a border and the bottom-left or bottom-right corner.
- Show your team. The chat header shows the people who answer, with their photos or initials.
- Signed-in customers are recognized. Guests can start right away, or you can ask for an email first.
- Conversations persist. Customers can leave the page and come back to the same chat later.
- Nothing gets lost. If a reply sits unseen in the chat, Ferry Desk sends it by email.
- Photos welcome. Customers attach files in the chat, and your team can send files back.
