So let’s dive in. First, install the PureChat snippet code to your website. You can see how to do that here: https://purechat.com/support/how-to-add-live-chat-to-website

javascript:purechatApi.set(‘chatbox.expanded’,true);
Select whether you want your PureChat live chat to be displayed on desktop or mobile devices, or both. You can customize the channel appearance by expanding the “Apperance settings”. You can then customize the channel appearance by uploading a custom icon – for example the PureChat logo – or choosing one from the Font Awesome directory. If you select an icon from the Font Awesome directory, you can change its background colour and colour. You can also add an icon text (the text that will appear under the icon in the My Sticky Elements widget), for example ”PureChat”, as well as your icon text size and on hover text, for example ”Chat with us!”.

Check the ”Use custom button when collapsed” option at the bottom.
That’s it! When you’re done, don’t forget to hit the ”Save changes” button to make sure your settings will be displayed accordingly. In the end, depending on your settings and customisations, it should look something like this:
