How to place a LiveAgent chat button on your Shift4Shop store

If you’d like to place a LiveAgent chat button on your Shift4Shop site, please follow the integration instructions outlined below or follow the instructions showcased in our video.

If you have never created a LiveAgent button before, log in to your account and go to Configuration > Chat > Chat buttons and click on the orange button at the top to create a new one. 

Pick a button design and go through the setup. This includes naming the button, selecting the department you want new chats to be routed to, and the chat button’s language (amongst other options.) Click on Save when you’re done. 

Now go to the integration section in the left panel and copy the code. You will need to place this code into the footer or header of your Shift4Shop website. 

Open Shift4Shop and go to Content > Site Content. Click on the Header and Footer section and paste your button code into the Global Footer section. Enable the block and Save your changes. 

How to integrate Shift4Shop with LiveAgent via Zapier

Shift4Shop can also be integrated with LiveAgent via Zapier. Follow this guide to learn how to make a custom integration. 

This guide may show different options in some parts of the integration setup due to the vast number of integration options. However, it generally stays the same and it’s easy to go through no matter what kind of integration you pick.

Create a Zapier account or log in to your existing account and go to the LiveAgent + Shift4Shop integrations page. Scroll down until you see the Connect LiveAgent and Shift4Shop in the Minutes section. Pick a trigger and an action that will connect the two apps.

The first step in our integration is to connect to a Shift4Shop account and allow Zapier to manage our data. Next, there’s a trigger test. After that, you need to set up a LiveAgent action. In this example, it’s creating an email. Fill out the required fields such as the sender and recipient email adresses, message subject, and email body. Continue with the test and turn on the Zap.
