Using HTML
If you're a tech-savvy person or have a developer in your team, it's easy to add a Serviceform Live chat to your PrestaShop website using HTML.
To start, click on the website you’ve set up on your Serviceform account and select settings.
Then, copy the pixel code.
Log in to your PrestaShop website's admin panel. Once you're in the project, head to the menu by clicking on the PrestaShop logo in the left corner. Then, navigate to the "Project Settings" and select "Custom Code”.
Simply paste the embed code that you’ve copied in the “Head Code” section and hit "Save Changes”.
Voila! Your PrestaShop website just got a lot cooler with Serviceform’s Live chat.
Using Google Tag Manager
No worries if HTML isn't your thing. Installing the Serviceform pixel into your PrestaShop website using Google Tag Manager is easy.
Simply choose the option to install via Google Tag Manager in your Serviceform account, then copy your unique pixel code.
Next, head over to your Google Tag Manager account and create a new tag. Then name your tag.
Once you've named your tag, head to the tag configuration and choose custom HTML from the drop-down menu. Then, simply paste the Serviceform pixel code you copied earlier into the code area.
Then click on ‘triggering’ and select ‘all pages.’ Then save your work and press submit. In the submission configuration screen, type ‘Adding Serviceform pixel’ into the ‘Version name’ area, and you’re all set.
Step 3. Test if your Serviceform pixel is live
You can check if your pixel is active by looking at the top right corner of your dashboard.
If you see a green circle, that means it's active and ready to go. But if you see a red circle, it means it's not active yet. No worries, just give it a quick check and get it up and running in no time.
