Choose a Layout
AtomChat offers 2 Layouts
1. Docked Layout creates a floating chat widget at the bottom right/left corner of your website.
2. Embedded Layout embeds a chat interface inside any page of your website
And please remember!
AtomChat layouts are not designed to be used together on the same page. If you add both layouts on the same page, please expect erratic behavior from the software.
4. Setting up the Docked Layout
Where to add the code?
- Login to your Shopify Admin and go to Online Store -> Themes.
- Find the theme you want to edit and click on Actions -> Edit code.
NOTE: Please replace the "APP_ID" and "AUTH_KEY" values in the code with your own Keys from your AtomChat Admin Panel -> API Keys
<script> var chat_appid = 'APP_ID'; var chat_auth = 'AUTH_KEY'; </script> <script> if(typeof __st != "undefined" && typeof(__st.cid) != "undefined"){ var chat_id = __st.cid; var chat_name = document.querySelectorAll('.site-header--text-links a')[0].innerText; } </script> <script> (function() { var chat_css = document.createElement('link'); chat_css.rel = 'stylesheet'; chat_css.type = 'text/css'; chat_css.href = 'https://fast.cometondemand.net/'+chat_appid+'x_xchat.css'; document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(chat_css); var chat_js = document.createElement('script'); chat_js.type = 'text/javascript'; chat_js.src = 'https://fast.cometondemand.net/'+chat_appid+'x_xchat.js'; var chat_script = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; chat_script.parentNode.insertBefore(chat_js, chat_script); })(); </script>
