Can I see who’s on my site right now?

BusinessLyft doesn’t show live visitor tracking. It records each lead’s country, local time and the page they came from.

Can my team take over a chat in BusinessLyft?

Live human handoff is coming soon. Today, when the assistant can’t help, it says so and collects the visitor’s details, so the lead lands in your Lead manager for your team to follow up.

How do I move from LiveChat to BusinessLyft?

Start free and paste your website URL; BusinessLyft learns your pages in seconds. Upload any help docs or FAQs you used in LiveChat, test answers in the Playground, then swap LiveChat’s snippet for the BusinessLyft script tag.
