Zoho SalesIQ – Live chat, chatbots, and visitor tracking vs Text

Looking for something more than live chat software for your website? Zoho SalesIQ’s WordPress plugin is super easy to use and lets you both engage with your website visitors in real time and view your prospects’ detailed website footprint. What do we have in the bag for you? Forever-free for 3 users The plugin is free for up to 3 users and will come with all the basic features like live chat, visitor tracking, and file sharing that you expect in live chat software. We also have paid plans for users looking for even more punch. Visitor tracking Visitors are organized in four concentric rings based on the criteria you set, with the hottest prospects in the inner rings and the coldest visitors moved outside the rings. With this you can easily prioritize visitors and not waste your firm’s time and resources on junk leads. Automated messages Don’t wait for visitors to message you—instead, reach out to visitors on high-intent pages like your pricing or contact us pages and spark their interest with proactive chat triggers. Chatbots It doesn’t matter if you’re a hardcore coder or someone who doesn’t know the “C” of coding—SalesIQ has something for everyone. With our codeless website chatbot builder, you can build a fully functional chatbot for your website without writing a single line of code. For the coders out there, we have a programming interface with which you can customize and automate your chatbot as needed. Built-in audio call and screen share to the rescue Your operators should be smart enough to resolve almost any issue your visitors face. However, there might be issues that can’t be resolved in a couple of texts. In that case, operators can use our built-in audio call and screen share feature to solve even the most complex queries with ease. Typing preview No need to assume what your customer is typing. Our live chat helps you see what they’re typing in the chat box in real time, enabling you to answer their queries in a matter of seconds. Chat routing Customers expect immediate help without being endlessly traded from agent to agent. Direct chats to the right department or staff based on a customer’s traffic source, landing page, number of visits or chats, lead stage, and more. Real-time chat translation Assist your customers and visitors in languages they’re comfortable with. Our website live chat software automatically detects the language of incoming chats and performs two-way chat translation in real time. What makes Zoho SalesIQ the best?

Every conversation on your site is a buying signal. Text catches it and turns it into a sale. As customer engagement software, Text works whether the conversation starts with a question or a click. Losing sales to cart abandonment and hesitation? Text closes them in the chat. Need leads without adding headcount? Text generates them 24/7. Support buried in repeated questions? Text resolves them, so your team handles what actually needs a person. Text goes beyond a WordPress chatbot plugin. It closes sales while most plugins just answer questions. Install this WordPress chat plugin on your site and WooCommerce store in minutes. No developer needed. 14-day free trial, no credit card required. 30,000+ companies run on Text, including Unilever, Wembley Stadium, and MIT. “We added over $1.5M in revenue in the first eight months. All from sales that started in the chat.” — Duncan Andrews, CRM & Digital Manager, Experiences by Wembley Stadium 💬 Convert visitors into buyers Problem: A hesitating visitor looks like a lost sale. It’s actually a buying signal nobody answered. Solution: Text catches the intent, starts the conversation, and closes the sale. AI Agent lives in your chat widget — customized to your brand’s colors, position, and tone. It’s trained on your own site and knowledge base, not generic answers. It doesn’t wait to be asked. It reads hesitation, browsing behavior, and cart activity, and starts the conversation itself, with one job in mind: close, don’t just chat. Live chat — the WordPress live chat software behind this plugin — shares the same inbox as the AI, so a handoff from bot to human never loses context. Your agent picks up exactly where the AI left off. As a WordPress live chat plugin, it shows up on product pages, blog posts, your homepage, or checkout — wherever you want your customers to find it. Proactive campaigns trigger on real behavior — time on page, scroll depth, exit intent, cart value — and capture the lead before they’ve decided to leave. No pop-up roulette, no guessing who’s ready. Running WooCommerce? The AI already sees what’s actually sitting in that cart — more on that further down. 📥 One inbox to never lose the thread Problem: Support scattered across five tools means dropped context and dropped tickets. Solution: One inbox for every channel and every ticket. Help desk and ticketing handles automated tagging, SLA tracking, escalation workflows, satisfaction ratings, workload visibility, and email — all in one inbox. Chat transfer, escalation rules, and internal notes keep complex issues moving instead of stalling between tools. Agencies and resellers can deploy it white-labeled, under their own brand. Omnichannel customer service shouldn’t mean five different apps duct-taped together. Text’s omnichannel inbox brings live chat, email, SMS, Messenger, and WhatsApp into one place — full history per contact, no blind spots. One inbox, built for it. 🌙 Keep selling after hours Problem: A customer messaging at 11pm gets nothing until 9am — and buys elsewhere. Solution: An AI agent that never clocks out, in their language, in your tone. As AI-powered WordPress customer support, it works around the clock and responds in 46 languages with automatic translation built in — not a separate bot per market, one agent for Berlin, São Paulo, and Tokyo alike. Multilingual support isn’t a paid add-on — it’s how the product works. Under the hood, it uses NLP and vector-based understanding, so it’s reading what a visitor means, not just matching keywords. ⚙️ Script your own workflow Problem: Automation tools hand you fixed scenarios. They stall the moment you need to step outside them. Solution: Build the exact scenario you need, and have it running in minutes, not sprints. Custom Skills let you build new AI behavior: qualify a lead, capture contact details, offer a discount, route a VIP, schedule an appointment. No code, no decision trees. You can build a new skill in thirty seconds with a single sentence. Because skills work with intent detection, the AI doesn’t wait around for the right question — it starts the conversation on its own. 🧹 Turn busywork into headroom Problem: Agents spend hours on work that doesn’t need a human brain. Solution: Take that off their plate, so they can focus on what actually needs a person. Copilot suggests replies, summarizes chats, and surfaces the right knowledge-base article before your agent has to search for it. Help Desk and ticketing — full help desk software, not a bolted-on add-on — route and escalate automatically. Real-time visitor tracking shows who’s on your site, what they’re browsing, and where they came from, so every conversation starts with context instead of a blank slate. 🛒 Running WooCommerce? Here’s what sharpens Everything above gets more precise once Text becomes a next-generation ecommerce chatbot — one that can see your store, not just your site. Driving sales. A live cart preview shows exactly what’s in a visitor’s basket, updated in real time — the buying signal from the first section, now with the actual products attached. In-chat alerts flag every item added or removed, so hesitation gets caught before it becomes an abandoned cart. Customer profiles surface total spent and total orders at a glance, so an agent knows instantly whether they’re talking to a first-time buyer or a regular. That’s what turns WooCommerce live chat into more than a Q&A tool — it’s watching every cart as it happens. Post-sale support. Recent orders and full order history sit right inside the chat — items, tracking status, everything an agent needs without switching tabs. Place an order during or right after a conversation, and it’s linked automatically. This live chat for WooCommerce is built to also handle tracking and returns, not just presale questions. Sales reporting. See which chats lead to orders. Stay on top of your sales numbers. Analyze the most effective conversations, and spot what worked — the dollar view from the section above, broken down by product and by cart. Works with the most popular WooCommerce themes, including Storefront, Botiga, and Woostify. 🔗 Integration with your existing stack Text connects to WooCommerce, Shopify, HubSpot, Slack, Mailchimp, Zapier, and more, with webhook support for virtually anything else — turning scattered customer support software into one connected stack, with tagging, routing, follow-ups, and escalations running without manual work. The AI also learns from your existing WordPress content — pages, posts, product descriptions, help articles — and updates as your site does. No retraining required. 🔒 Security and compliance SOC 2 GDPR and CCPA PCI DSS Role-based access with admin and member permissions Multi-brand support with brand-level data separation Dedicated private server option for enterprise clients Controls to disable persistent chat history and manage data retention More in Text’s Trust Center. 💳 Pricing Plans start at $19/month — Essential, Growth, and Enterprise, with AI resolutions included at every level (10, 200, or a custom number a month). Every plan includes the AI chatbot, live chat, help desk, and ticketing. 14-day free trial, no credit card required. 🚀 Install in minutes This is how to add live chat to WordPress — and get the AI Agent running alongside it — in under five steps, no developer required.
