Chat-in Shop Widget

Settings1 min readLast updated July 27, 2026

How does the Chat-in widget work?

The widget appears as a pop-up on your store, showing your logo, a QR code and a Start WhatsApp Chat button. A visitor either scans the code (handy on mobile) or clicks the button; both open a WhatsApp chat with a pre-filled message. That triggers a Chat-in — the contact lands in your Keaz inbox and is created as a new contact if they don't exist yet.

How do I activate it?

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Shopify.
  2. Under "Activate your shop widget", click Activate.
  3. The widget goes live on your storefront — no technical knowledge, one click.

Can I connect it to a flow?

Yes. Every Start WhatsApp Chat click or QR scan fires a Chat-in, which you can link to a flow — for example opt-in, lead qualification or support. Point the Chat-in at a short opt-in or welcome flow so every new contact gets an instant, consistent first reply.
