LINE Chat Integration
Connect LINE Chat to Your PrestaShop Store and Engage Asian Market Customers
LINE Chat — Connect with 200M+ Users Across Asia-Pacific
Add a LINE messenger button to your PrestaShop store and tap into the dominant messaging platform in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and Indonesia. LINE is not just a chat app — it is a lifestyle platform with 200+ million monthly active users who use it for messaging, payments, news, and shopping.
- Essential for Asian markets — LINE has 96M users in Japan, 54M in Thailand, 22M in Taiwan, 10M+ in Indonesia
- Official Account integration — link directly to your LINE Official Account for professional business communication
- Floating chat button — customizable position, size, and appearance from the back office
- Rich messaging support — customers can send photos, videos, stickers, and location pins
- Mobile-first design — 90%+ of LINE users are on mobile, and the button is optimized for touch interaction
- No external scripts — pure CSS + minimal JS, zero impact on page load speed
- Display controls — choose which pages show the LINE button
- PrestaShop 1.7 – 9.x — universal compatibility across all versions
If you sell to customers in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, or Indonesia, LINE is not optional — it is the primary communication channel. This module makes integration instant.
What Is the LINE Chat Module?
The LINE Chat module adds a floating LINE messenger button to your PrestaShop store, enabling customers to contact you directly through LINE — the messaging app that dominates communication in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and Indonesia. With a single tap, visitors open a chat with your LINE Official Account, where you can provide support, share product catalogs, send coupons, and build lasting customer relationships.
LINE is far more than a messaging app. In Japan and Thailand, it functions as a super app — combining messaging, mobile payments (LINE Pay), news, shopping (LINE Shopping), and a rewards ecosystem. When your store is accessible via LINE, you become part of the platform your customers use for everything.
LINE Market Dominance in Asia-Pacific
Understanding LINE's market position is critical for any business targeting Asia-Pacific consumers:
- Japan (96M MAU) — LINE is THE communication app. 86% of smartphone users in Japan use LINE daily. Businesses without a LINE presence are invisible to Japanese consumers.
- Thailand (54M MAU) — LINE has higher penetration than Facebook Messenger. Thai consumers expect businesses to be reachable on LINE.
- Taiwan (22M MAU) — in a country of 23 million people, LINE reaches nearly every smartphone user. It is the default communication tool.
- Indonesia (10M+ MAU) — while WhatsApp dominates overall, LINE has a strong foothold among younger urban consumers and is the preferred platform for brand communication.
In these markets, having a LINE button on your store is the equivalent of having a phone number on your contact page in Western markets — it is expected.
Benefits for Store Owners
- Instant trust signal — Asian consumers trust businesses that are reachable on LINE. The green LINE icon is a credibility marker.
- Rich media support — customers can send product photos for identification, share screenshots of issues, or receive catalogs with images and links
- LINE Official Account features — access auto-replies, greeting messages, rich menus, broadcast messaging, and coupon distribution
- Push notifications — once a customer adds your LINE account, you can send them promotions, restock alerts, and order updates directly to their phone
- Higher response rates — LINE messages have 60%+ open rates compared to 20% for email (LINE Corporation data)
- Payment integration potential — in Japan and Thailand, LINE Pay enables seamless in-chat purchases
- Sticker marketing — create branded LINE stickers that customers share with friends, generating organic brand exposure
PrestaShop Integration
The module is designed for simplicity:
- Configuration: Enter your LINE Official Account ID or LINE add-friend URL
- Button placement: Floating button injected via
displayFooterhook - Customization: Position (left/right), color theme, size, and custom tooltip text
- Mobile optimization: On mobile devices, the button opens the LINE app directly via deep link (
line://ti/p/@yourlineid). On desktop, it opens the LINE web interface. - Display rules: Show on all pages, specific page types, or custom controller-based rules
- Multistore: Different LINE accounts for different shops (ideal for multi-country stores)
LINE Official Account — Your Business Hub
This module connects your store to a LINE Official Account, which provides professional business features:
- Auto-reply messages — set automatic responses for common questions (shipping, returns, hours)
- Greeting messages — welcome new contacts with a personalized message and quick-action buttons
- Rich menus — create a custom menu at the bottom of the chat with links to your store, FAQ, order tracking, and more
- Broadcast messaging — send promotions to all followers (free tier: 500 messages/month, paid plans for more)
- Chat tags & notes — organize customer conversations with tags and internal notes for your support team
- Analytics dashboard — track follower growth, message engagement, and click-through rates
A LINE Official Account is free to create at linebiz.com. The free plan includes 500 broadcast messages per month — more than enough for most small-to-medium stores.
