Using WordPress Plugin

To use the WordPress Plugin for the installation, you'll need to have access to your WP account. On the WordPress Plugins menu, search for the Serviceform plugin.

Using HTML

If you're a tech-savvy person or have a developer in your team, it's easy to add a Serviceform Live chat to your WooCommerce 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 account on go to the admin panel. Click “Settings” and from the drop-down select “Header and Footer”. 



Simply paste the embed code that you’ve copied, in the Head Code section and hit "Save Changes”.

Using Google Tag Manager

No worries if HTML isn't your thing. Installing the Serviceform pixel onto your WooCommerce 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.
