How to add Chately to WordPress

Four simple steps. No WordPress plugin, no coding experience required.

01

Create your chatbot on Chately

Sign up and enter your business name, FAQs, opening hours, services, and contact details. Optionally upload a PDF (product catalogue, menu, policy doc) as a knowledge base. The AI learns your business instantly.

02

Copy your embed code

Open the Embed tab in your chatbot dashboard. You'll see a single script tag like this:

<script src="https://chately.app/widget.js" data-chatbot-id="YOUR_CHATBOT_ID" async></script>
03

Paste into WordPress

Choose whichever method works for your setup:

Theme Editor (no plugin)
Appearance → Theme Editor → footer.php → paste above </body> → Update File
WPCode / Insert Headers & Footers
WPCode → Add Snippet → HTML Snippet → paste code → Location: Footer → Save & Activate
Elementor / page builder
Open any page → Add HTML widget → paste code → Publish
04

Your chatbot is live

Visit your WordPress site — the chat widget appears in the corner. It's already answering questions, capturing leads, and helping customers around the clock.

Features

Everything your WordPress site needs

Enterprise-grade AI customer support without the complexity or cost.

Powered by Claude AI
The same advanced AI that powers leading enterprise products. Understands context, handles follow-ups, and gives genuinely helpful answers — not canned responses.
Lead Capture Built In
Collect visitor name, email, and phone before or after a set number of messages. Every lead is saved to your Chately dashboard — ready to export or follow up.
PDF Knowledge Base
Upload your product catalogue, price list, menu, or policy documents (up to 10 MB). The AI reads and remembers the content to answer customer questions accurately.
24/7 Support
Never miss a customer question because of time zones or business hours. Your AI assistant handles enquiries around the clock without any manual effort.
WhatsApp Button
Add a direct WhatsApp link inside the chat widget so customers can switch to their preferred channel in a single tap — great for WooCommerce stores.
Zero Performance Impact
The widget script loads with the async attribute, so it never blocks your page from rendering. Core Web Vitals and Google PageSpeed scores stay untouched.
Analytics Dashboard
See message volume, peak hours, topic categories, satisfaction scores, and per-chatbot stats. Know exactly what your customers are asking about.
Full Conversation History
Browse every chat session with full-text search. Discover gaps in your FAQ, spot common complaints, and improve your content strategy.
Works With Any Theme
Compatible with Astra, GeneratePress, Divi, Elementor, Avada, OceanWP, and any other WordPress theme. No conflicts, no overrides.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about adding a chatbot to WordPress.

Do I need a WordPress plugin to use Chately?

No plugin is required. Just paste the script tag directly into your theme's footer.php file. If you prefer not to edit theme files, you can also use any existing header/footer plugin you have installed — such as WPCode (Insert Headers & Footers) or Elementor's Custom Code feature.

Will the chatbot slow down my WordPress site?

No. The embed script loads with the async attribute, meaning it runs in parallel with your page — never blocking rendering. Your Lighthouse score, Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS), and Google PageSpeed results stay completely unaffected.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. You can upload your product catalogue, pricing sheet, and return policy as a PDF. The AI reads the document and answers customer questions about your products accurately, reducing support tickets and helping buyers make purchase decisions faster.

Can I use it without touching any code?

Yes. If you have a plugin like WPCode (formerly Insert Headers and Footers) installed, you can paste the script tag there under Footer section. No theme file editing needed.

Which WordPress themes are supported?

All of them. Chately works with Astra, GeneratePress, Divi, Avada, OceanWP, Hello Elementor, Storefront, Blocksy, Neve, and any custom or block theme. It is pure JavaScript with no theme dependencies.

How much does it cost?

Chately has a free plan with 100 messages per month and 1 chatbot — no credit card required. Paid plans start at a low monthly fee and unlock more messages and multiple chatbots.
