How to create a free chatbot for your Shopify account

Shopify is a leading ecommerce platform that enables businesses to easily create and manage an online store. With its user-friendly interface and customisable features, Shopify provides a seamless and efficient experience for both merchants and customers.

As a merchant, it's important to ensure that you provide your customers with a high level of customer support and engagement. This can be a challenge, especially as your business grows and you receive more inquiries.

A chatbot can help solve this problem by providing a quick and convenient way for customers to get the information they need. Chatbots can provide immediate answers to common questions, reducing response times and improving the overall customer experience. They can also handle routine tasks, freeing up your time to focus on more complex issues.

In addition, chatbots can gather valuable customer information, which can be used to personalise the customer experience and improve your overall marketing strategy.

Creating a Shopify Chatbot with Serviceform is simple and easy. Let's take a look at how to build a smart chatbot for your Shopify site using Serviceform's builder.

Step 1. Create your Serviceform pixel

After you create your Serviceform account, you can generate your Serviceform pixel in the box below. To start, type your website URL and select "START NOW".

Step 2. How to install a free chatbot on Shopify

Using HTML

If you're a tech-savvy person or have a developer in your team, it's easy to add a Serviceform Chatbot to your Shopify website using HTML. 

To start, click on the website you’ve set up on your Serviceform account and select settings. 

Then, copy the pixel code. 


Log in to your Shopify store's admin panel and go to the themes page which is under the online store. Find the theme you want to add the pixel code to and click on "Actions" then select "Edit code".



In the "Layout" folder, click on "theme.liquid". Find the <head> section in the code and paste the pixel code immediately after the opening <head> tag.



Simply add the pixel code that you’ve copied, in the head tag section and hit "Save changes”. 

Voila! Your Shopify account just got a lot cooler with Serviceform’s Chatbot. 


Using Google Tag Manager

No worries if HTML isn't your thing. Installing the Serviceform pixel into your Shopify website using Google Tag Manager is easy. 

Simply choose the option to install via Google Tag Manager in your Serviceform account, then copy your unique pixel code.

Next, head over to your Google Tag Manager account and create a new tag. Then name your tag.

Once you've named your tag, head to the tag configuration and choose custom HTML from the drop-down menu. Then, simply paste the Serviceform pixel code you copied earlier into the code area.

Then click on ‘triggering’ and select ‘all pages.’ Then save your work and press submit. In the submission configuration screen, type ‘Adding Serviceform pixel’ into the ‘Version name’ area, and you’re all set. 

Step 3. Test if your Serviceform pixel is live

You can check if your pixel is active by looking at the top right corner of your dashboard.

If you see a green circle, that means it's active and ready to go. But if you see a red circle, it means it's not active yet. No worries, just give it a quick check and get it up and running in no time. 


Hooray! You just made your Shopify website even better with the best chatbot.

But why just stop there?
