Guide For Prestashop Intercom Integration

Guide For Prestashop Intercom Integration: Intercom is a conversational relationship platform that allows businesses to communicate with their customers and provide them quick support within their app, on their website, through social media, or via email.

Providing excellent customer support is vital as it helps businesses to stand out from their competitors. While shopping online, customers may face various issues – the product they are looking for is unavailable, unable to apply promo code, an online transaction failure, etc.

Now, the first thing a customer will do is try to contact customer support to get the issues resolved. If customers do not get support on time, they will turn their back on the store and also spread the word about it to their peers.

Prestashop Intercom Integration allows your customers to initiate the conversation right from their accounts on your store. This extension embeds an Intercom Messenger widget on your store. The customer or visitor can click on the widget and ask any queries regarding the product, orders, refund, etc.
