About this plugin
Help desk, live chat and AI chatbot for WordPress and WooCommerce A customer asks “where is my order?”. Your agent opens the ticket and the order is already there: shipping status, payment, purchase history, and the buttons to refund or cancel it. No second tab, no copying order numbers, no extra plugin. ThriveDesk is customer support software built for WordPress and WooCommerce from day one. It puts live chat, an AI chatbot, a shared inbox and a support ticket system in one place, and this plugin connects it to your site in under five minutes. Rated 4.8/5 on G2 and 4.7/5 on Capterra. Start your free 7-day trial – no credit card required. Live chat for WordPress and WooCommerce Add the live chat widget to any page without touching code, and talk to visitors from the web app or the mobile apps. The widget is 20 KB and loads only on the pages you enable it on. Match the widget to your brand: colors, launcher, position and welcome text Several agents can help the same customer at once Customers can drop screenshots and files straight into the chat Ask for the right details with a custom pre-chat form Business hours and holiday notices, so nobody waits on an empty office Hide the widget on the pages where you do not want it Sound and push notifications, so no chat goes unanswered WooCommerce stores see the customer’s order history beside the chat AI chatbot that answers from your own content NEO, the ThriveDesk AI chatbot, learns from your knowledge base, your documents and your website. It answers the routine questions on its own and hands the rest to a person with the whole conversation attached. Auto-replies to common questions, 24/7 Drafts replies for agents to review before sending Tags and prioritizes incoming tickets Hands off to a human agent with full context Picks up new training content the moment you add it Test it in the AI Playground before you switch on auto-reply AI Copilot helps the humans too: it summarizes long threads, writes a first draft from the conversation history and suggests the next step. We are honest about what AI customer support can do. In the first months, expect NEO to resolve 20–45% of first-tier requests. A well-trained setup reaches up to 90%. It supports your team; it does not replace them. Helpdesk and support ticket system Every email, live chat and contact form submission becomes a trackable ticket in a shared inbox, so nothing is lost in a personal mailbox. Sales, billing and technical support can each have their own inbox, and the ticketing system scales from one person to a customer service team. Collision detection: two agents never answer the same ticket @mentions and private notes your customers never see Canned responses for the answers you give every day Tags, labels and custom fields for routing and reporting Snooze, schedule a reply, and undo send Split a ticket in two, or merge duplicates Bulk assign and bulk close Automation rules: route by keyword, assign round-robin, escalate after a set time, enforce SLAs Reports for volume, response time, resolution rate and customer satisfaction (CSAT) The WooCommerce help desk: orders, refunds and subscriptions inside the ticket The WooCommerce integration is built and maintained by ThriveDesk, not a third-party connector. From inside any ticket or chat, an agent can: See the customer’s complete order history and lifetime value Check shipping status without opening a tracking link Cancel or refund an order Add, edit or remove order items View and cancel subscriptions, with WooCommerce Subscriptions and WPSubscription Only do what their role allows: refunds and cancellations can be limited to the agents you choose Store data is fetched from your site on demand and cached locally. It is not copied to ThriveDesk servers.
