Connect Chatra Live Chat to Your PrestaShop Store Instantly
Chatra Chat — Lightweight Live Chat with Typing Insights for PrestaShop
Integrate Chatra into your PrestaShop store — the elegantly simple live chat platform that focuses on natural conversations, group chats, and real-time visitor intelligence. Chatra feels like chatting with a friend, not interacting with a corporate support tool.
- Group conversations — multiple agents can join the same conversation for team-based support
- Typing insights — see what visitors type before they send the message
- Visitor intelligence — real-time visitor list with page, location, and cart data
- Conversation history — returning visitors see their previous chat, creating continuity
- Offline mode — transforms into a contact form when agents are unavailable
- Lightweight widget — one of the fastest-loading chat widgets available
- Customer identification — module syncs PrestaShop customer data
- PrestaShop 1.7 – 9.x — fully compatible
Chatra is for stores that want live chat to feel personal and human, not robotic. Its typing insights and group conversation features create a support experience that customers love.
What Is Chatra for PrestaShop?
Chatra is a live chat platform designed to make online conversations feel as natural as face-to-face communication. While many chat tools prioritize automation and bots, Chatra focuses on the human element — creating an environment where agents and customers have genuine, productive conversations.
Key differentiators include group conversations (multiple agents can collaborate on a single chat), typing insights (agents see what visitors type before sending), and a focus on conversation continuity (returning visitors see their previous chat history).
Typing Insights — Prepare Before They Send
Chatra's typing insight feature is a subtle but powerful tool:
- See messages as they are typed — agents watch the customer's keystrokes in real time, before the message is sent
- Prepare responses faster — start formulating answers while the customer is still typing
- Understand intent better — see deleted text that reveals what the customer initially wanted to say
- Average 30% faster response times — the preparation advantage translates directly to speed
Group Conversations
When a customer question requires multiple experts, Chatra's group conversations shine:
- Invite colleagues — pull in a product specialist, warehouse manager, or developer mid-conversation
- Internal notes — add notes visible only to agents within the conversation
- Seamless experience — the customer sees a natural conversation flow, unaware of internal coordination
