Why stores switch
Why Shopify stores switch from tawk.to
tawk.to answers the chat. Emailwish makes sure the shopper hears from you again when the chat doesn't end in an order.
Questions that become orders.
A shopper asks about sizing, then leaves without buying. Emailwish sees the chat on their profile and sends a follow-up email about the product they asked about.
Free chat is one app of five.
A store on tawk.to still pays for email, popup, review and wishlist apps. Emailwish includes all of them with live chat on every plan, including Free.
Recommend products in the chat.
Send a product without leaving the conversation. The shopper's products and orders sit beside the chat, so every reply is informed.
