The software is ready for use, however you will need to connect it with your website by inserting a few scripts in the webpage(s).

Chat For Charities Master Script

Inserting the installation scripts in your website is relatively easy if you have done similar script installations before but you might need to get in touch with your webmaster who can do this for you.

Install the Chat For Charities master script to place a floating “live chat button” on your website (most popular method)

Once this script is installed in your website, you will see the visitors to your site in real time and you can engage in chat conversations with them through the chatbox.
Put this script in all the pages of your website, where you want Live Chat  to work (usually it is enough if you put it in the footer of the site, just before the closing body tag, which looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://go.chatforcharities.org/Chat/MasterServer/Public/ScriptProvider.php"></script>

Customize Your Live Chat Bubble

Once the script is in place, you will need to upload the icon in the software which you want to display. You can set an icon for online status and a different one for offline status. You will find this in the Desktop software by navigating to the Administration / Chatboxes menu.
