Inbox / live chat

Install the Inbox app to add a chat widget to your storefront and reply to customers in real time — from your dashboard or a dedicated standalone app.

What customers see

A floating chat bubble, styled to match your storefront theme, appears on every page. Visitors can start a conversation without creating an account — their identity persists across visits and devices, so a conversation picks up where it left off.

Where you reply

Reply from Growth → Inbox in your normal dashboard, or install the dedicated Inbox progressive web app at inbox.forma.pk for a focused, full-screen chat experience — useful if you or a teammate handles support as a primary job.

Real-time and offline-friendly

Messages arrive live while you have Inbox open. The standalone app also supports push notifications and works offline for reading recent conversations, so you don't miss a message just because you closed the tab.

Great for pre-purchase questions

Live chat is especially effective for sizing, customization, and stock questions — the kind of thing that stalls a checkout if there's no easy way to ask before buying. See Set up live chat to turn it on.
