Restrictions

  • Although you can edit some Design and Texts options from the widget settings section on Wix, we highly recommend you make changes in Design and Texts directly from our application.
  • On mobile version, the default JivoChat widget icon will not be displayed. Instead, you will see a custom button from Wix in a fixed section on your website. In case you would like to use JivoChat's default widget, please install the chat by following the instructions on method #1 in this tutorial.
