We use LiveChat to serve two primary functions: as a pre-sales channel on our corporate website and for existing customers inside our control panel. This gives us the flexibility to capture potential customers who may have quick product related questions and route customer inquiries to our Customer Support (CS) team.

Be ready for
the next question
LiveChat gives you a head start when it comes to answering clients. You will be able to see what they are writing before they send it over, giving you some extra time to prepare your answer.
If a particular response has to be repeated often, you can store for later use too, which makes answering even tough web hosting-related questions easy.
One of our favorite features is the Message Sneak-Peek. When assisting our customers it allows us to start investigating their issue and answer them quickly.

Stop fraud attempts
By using the geo-location data you will be able to notice if the person you are chatting with is trying to impersonate one of your clients.
Seeing how someone writes their answer before sending it comes extra handy for detecting these fraudulent activities targeting your clients’ servers.
Message preview helped us spot fraud orders in which the customer changes their story about why their card location and their GeoIP location, as shown in LiveChat, differ.

Display your data
in LiveChat using the API
Connect LiveChat to your database to display information about the customer’s latest order, billing plan or used services right in the chat window.
Want to gather more data? Feel free to use the API to get all the information you and your web hosting business needs.
The API is a must-have feature for us. We use the API to pull in data for chat ratings, handle time and survey results. Using the API, we’re also able to forecast staffing needs to keep our queue times down to a minimum.
