Live Chat Widget for Your Website

The 3CX live chat widget drops onto your website - visitors chat or click-to-call your team directly. Free with every 3CX edition. AI chat available on AI Edition.

What the widget does

Why we like it for SMB sites

The free pricing is the obvious thing. The less obvious thing: it slots into the same agent inbox as your calls, SMS, WhatsApp and voicemails. No extra tool to monitor, no “the chat is buzzing but my phone queue is also ringing - which do I take first?” - the queue prioritises and routes intelligently.

For sales sites, the voice/video escalation buttons matter. A prospect who’s leaning toward buying often wants a quick voice conversation to close - and they won’t book a meeting for it. The widget gives them an instant button.

Common questions

Is the widget really free?
Yes - included with every 3CX edition. No per-message fee, no monthly bot fee, no concurrent-chat limit. Just enable it and drop the snippet on your site.
Can visitors switch from chat to call?
Yes - the widget has chat, voice and video buttons. Visitor starts in chat, escalates to voice/video without leaving the page. Brilliant for sales and support.
How does it compare to Intercom, Drift or HubSpot Chat?
It's free (huge cost saving), it's integrated with your phone queues (single agent inbox), and it includes voice/video escalation natively (most chat tools require Zoom/Teams). What it doesn't do as well: deep marketing automation workflows and complex chatbot flows. For most SMBs the trade-off heavily favours 3CX.
Does the AI Receptionist work in chat?
Yes - the same AI Agents that answer voice calls can handle live chat (AI Edition). The AI handles common questions, books meetings, captures lead info, and hands over to humans when needed.
