How to Set Up Different Chat Widgets

A Complete Guide to Page-Level Chat Targeting for WordPress Stores

Most WordPress stores make the same mistake with chat widgets: they show the same chat experience on every page.

That’s a problem.

  • A visitor on a product page is deciding whether to buy.
  • A visitor on a blog post is still learning.
  • A visitor on a pricing page is comparing options.

Treating all of them the same hurts conversions and increases unnecessary support load.

Page-level chat targeting fixes this by letting you show different chat widgets on different pages, each tailored to the visitor’s intent.

In this guide, you’ll learn how page-level chat targeting works, why it matters, and exactly how to set it up on your WordPress or WooCommerce store using PushEngage.

What Is Page-Level Chat Targeting?

Page-level chat targeting means showing different chat widgets based on the page a visitor is viewing.

Instead of one global widget, you create multiple widgets and control:

  • Where each widget appears
  • What message it shows
  • Which channels it offers (chat, WhatsApp, email, etc.)
  • Which agents or teams it routes to
  • When it triggers

For example:

  • Product pages → sales-focused chat
  • Blog pages → educational or low-pressure chat
  • Pricing pages → conversion or demo-focused chat

The chat experience adapts to the page context automatically.

Why Page-Level Targeting Improves Engagement and Conversions

Visitors Have Different Intent on Different Pages

A blog reader doesn’t want to “talk to sales.” A checkout visitor doesn’t want to read documentation.

Page-level targeting ensures your chat matches what the visitor is trying to do right now.

It Reduces Friction and Annoyance

Generic chat widgets feel interruptive.
Contextual chat feels helpful.

When chat appears with the right message, on the right page, at the right time, engagement goes up and bounce rates go down.

It Protects Your Support Team

Without targeting, agents get flooded with low-intent questions.

With page-level targeting:

  • Sales questions go to sales
  • Support questions go to support
  • Educational questions get redirected to resources

Everyone wins.

What You Can Control With Page-Level Targeting in PushEngage

PushEngage lets you control page-level chat behavior across several dimensions:

  • Widget design (colors, layout, CTA style)
  • Message copy (sales vs support tone)
  • Channels (WhatsApp, email, call, links)
  • Agents or routing
  • Page rules (URL-based or page-type based)
  • Behavior triggers (scroll, delay, exit intent)

This makes page-level targeting flexible enough for both small stores and complex WooCommerce setups.

This flexibility is exactly what makes “page-type-based personalization” possible.

How to Set Up Page-Level Chat Targeting in PushEngage

Step 1: Create Multiple Chat Widgets

In your WordPress dashboard, go to:

PushEngage » Chat Widgets

Create your first widget and name it based on intent, for example:

  • “Product Page Chat”
  • “Blog Page Chat”
  • “Pricing Page Chat”

Don’t try to handle everything in one widget.

How to Set Up Different Chat Widgets Using PushEngage

This is the exact configuration you’ll use in WordPress/WooCommerce with PushEngage.

Step 1: Create Your First Chat Widget

  1. In WordPress, go to: PushEngage » Chat Widgets » Create New Widget
  2. Name it: Product Page Chat
  3. Choose a prominent color and style
  4. Add channels like WhatsApp + Live Chat
  5. Assign your sales or product agents
Setting up Agents for Chat

Step 2: Add a Sales-Focused Message

Under Content » Appearance » Advanced view, scroll down to the CTA Text field and add a sales message.

Chat Widget CTA Text

Examples:

  • “Need help before buying? Ask us anything.”
  • “Unsure about size or fit? I can help.”
  • “Get your product delivered faster — ask how!”

This message is meant to prompt action.

Step 3: Target the Widget to WooCommerce Product Pages

Go to the Triggers tab and scroll down to Display Rules.

Chat Widget Display Rules

Here, you can use the WP Page option to find WooCommerce pages such as product, checkout, etc. But if you’d rather use specific URLs, just click that drop down and select URL instead and modify your targeting accordingly.

When you’re done, just save your chat widget and activate it.

The same goes for setting up a blog page chat widget. Create a separate widget that targets blog pages exclusively.

  • Show after 45–60 seconds
  • Or after 60–70% scroll
  • Desktop only (optional)

This makes the widget feel supportive, not interruptive.

Common Page-Level Chat Use Cases

Product Pages

  • “Have questions before buying?”
  • Sales or product experts
  • Fast triggers

Blog Pages

  • “Need help understanding this?”
  • Educational tone
  • Delayed triggers

Pricing Pages

  • “Want help choosing a plan?”
  • Sales or demo routing
  • Exit-intent triggers

Checkout Pages

  • “Questions before checkout?”
  • Minimal, reassurance-focused messaging
  • No upsells

Category Pages

  • “Need help choosing?”
  • Browsing assistance
  • Medium delay

Best Practices for Running Multiple Chat Widgets

1. Keep Your Design Consistent

Even if the widgets differ by context, they should still feel like the same brand.

2. Don’t Overwhelm Visitors

Avoid too many proactive popups. Let context do the heavy lifting.

3. Assign the Right Agents

Product pages → Sales
Blog pages → Support or educational staff

4. Check Analytics Monthly

Look at:

  • Triggered sessions
  • Avg. response time
  • Conversion flow
  • Pages where users drop off

Fine-tune based on real data.

5. Remember Mobile vs Desktop Differences

Mobile previews are essential. Adjust message length and trigger timing accordingly.

What to Do After Setting Up Chat Widgets

Page-level chat targeting turns your chat widget from a generic support button into a context-aware engagement tool.

Instead of asking visitors to adapt to your chat, you adapt chat to them.

With PushEngage, you can set this up in minutes—and the impact shows up quickly in engagement, conversions, and support efficiency.

If you haven’t implemented page-level chat targeting yet, it’s one of the highest-leverage improvements you can make to your WordPress store.

  • Customers always see someone online
  • Response times drop
  • Pre-purchase conversions rise
  • Support feels faster and more reliable
  • Your store feels global-ready

Once the schedules are set, your team can operate more efficiently—and your customers get the experience they expect.

If you haven’t already set up agent profiles and schedules in PushEngage, now’s the time.
