What is OpenWidget?


OpenWidget is a free eCommerce widget launched in November 2022 by LiveChat.inc. It is not a real-time live chat but has 4 important features.

  • Contact form (email)
  • Product cards to promote deals
  • FAQ section
  • Widget customization

It is easy to set up but offers limited customization options, as can be expected for such a free tool. There is no option to upload images, they have to be linked to a URL. All changes are applied to the widget on your website in real time without the need to replace the script.

It has plugins for popular eCommerce platforms like:

  • BigCommerce
  • Google Tag Manager
  • OpenCart
  • Shopify
  • Squarespace
  • Woocommerce
  • WordPress

What is Gorgias?


Gorgias offers an extensive product that helps DTC companies (Shopify, and other online e-commerce businesses) with support and live chat throughout their supply chain and delivery, monitoring your socials as well as allowing customers to chat with you on your website.

Unique about Gorgias is its Academy, where they offer Agent training next to regular account setups. You need a subscription in order to access these documents, but the academy content itself is free.
