Skype Chat — Video Calls & Screen Sharing for PrestaShop Support

Add a Skype call and chat button to your PrestaShop store, enabling customers to reach you via voice calls, video calls, screen sharing, and instant messaging. Skype's rich communication features make it ideal for complex product support that goes beyond text chat.

  • Video call support — show product demos, walk through installations, or provide visual troubleshooting
  • Screen sharing — guide customers through complex configurations or order processes
  • Voice calls — offer personal phone-like support without sharing your actual phone number
  • Instant messaging — traditional text chat with file sharing, emojis, and rich formatting
  • Floating button widget — customizable Skype button with call/chat options
  • No phone system needed — Skype replaces expensive VoIP setups for small teams
  • 300M+ monthly users — Skype remains widely used in business and B2B contexts
  • PrestaShop 1.7 – 9.x — universal compatibility

For stores selling technical products, B2B services, or high-ticket items where customers need visual guidance, Skype provides communication depth that text chat simply cannot match.

What Is the Skype Chat Module?

The Skype Chat module adds a floating Skype button to your PrestaShop store that enables customers to contact you via Skype's full communication suite — instant messaging, voice calls, video calls, and screen sharing. While newer messaging platforms focus on text, Skype remains the go-to tool for rich, multi-modal communication that includes voice and video.

With over 300 million monthly active users and deep integration into the Microsoft ecosystem (Office 365, Teams, Outlook), Skype is particularly strong in B2B, professional services, and international business contexts. Many business buyers already have Skype installed and prefer it over consumer-focused messaging apps.

The Power of Video Support in Ecommerce

  • Complex product demonstrations — show how a product works, fits, or looks in real time via video call
  • Screen sharing for configuration — guide customers through software setup, account configuration, or technical installation
  • Visual troubleshooting — customers can show you the problem instead of describing it in text
  • Trust building — face-to-face interaction builds more trust than any other communication channel
  • B2B sales presentations — present product catalogs, pricing tiers, and bulk order options professionally
  • 73% of customers prefer video support for complex issues (Vidyard research)

PrestaShop Integration

  • Configure your Skype username in the module back office
  • Choose button action: chat, voice call, or let the customer choose
  • Floating button uses Skype URI scheme (skype:username?chat or skype:username?call)
  • Desktop: opens Skype desktop or web app. Mobile: opens Skype mobile app via deep link
  • Customizable button position, color, size, and tooltip
  • Display control per page type (home, product, category, cart, etc.)
  • Multistore: different Skype accounts per shop

Technical Details
