What is Webchat?
NextPaw Webchat enables you to communicate with website visitors over text at any time, from anywhere. You can answer questions, schedule appointments, and even sell products directly through the Webchat interface. Whether you're in the store or on the go, Webchat keeps you connected with your customers.
How Webchat Works
- Customer Interaction
When a customer sends a message via your webchat widget, they will be prompted to enter:- Their name
- Their phone number
- The location they wish to contact (if you have multiple locations)
- Message Routing
Webchat messages will be directed to your NextPaw Unified Inbox. From there, you can respond to their inquiries, hold a product, or even schedule an appointment for them.
