Why Add Messenger to Your Website?

With 3 billion monthly active users, Messenger has near-universal reach. Your visitors don't need to download a new app or share phone numbers to contact you — they tap one button and the conversation starts.

Unlike live chat that disappears when the browser closes, Messenger conversations persist across devices and over time. Customers start on desktop, continue on mobile, and pick up again weeks later with full context. It's asynchronous — no real-time monitoring needed.

Facebook's official Chat Plugin was deprecated in 2024. Boei provides a modern, reliable alternative using simple Messenger deep links. No JavaScript SDK, no cookies, no breakage with platform updates. Just your Facebook page ID and 5 minutes.

Who Uses Messenger Widget?

Industries where Messenger drives results

Local Business & Retail

Restaurants, salons, and boutiques thrive on Messenger. Customers ask about hours, availability, and pricing — then book via chat. Conversations feel personal on a platform they use every day. Add an AI chatbot to handle FAQs automatically.

E-commerce & Online Stores

Shoppers ask about sizing, stock, and shipping before buying. Messenger lets you send product photos and close sales conversationally. Customers who message businesses are 63% more likely to complete a purchase. Combine with a contact form for detailed orders.

Real Estate & Property

Property inquiries, viewing schedules, and mortgage questions require quick communication. Share photos, virtual tours, and floor plans right in the conversation. For international clients, also offer WhatsApp.

Professional Services

Lawyers, accountants, and consultants handle initial inquiries through Messenger. Professional yet accessible. Conversation history creates a paper trail, and clients follow up weeks later without re-explaining. Pair with phone for urgent matters.

Cross-Device Conversations That Never Get Lost

Unlike live chat that disappears when your visitor closes a tab, Messenger conversations persist across every device. Customers start on desktop, continue on mobile, and pick up again on tablet — with full conversation history intact.

  • Switch devices mid-conversation without losing context
  • Respond from Messenger app, Facebook Page inbox, or Messenger.com
  • Rich media — photos, videos, documents, voice messages, and locations
  • Conversation history persists indefinitely

What do you like best about Boei? I'm giving 10 points. Why? This app is super easy. You can configure your chat widget in 5 minutes, add a JS script to your "header" in your theme and wooollaaa done. Nothing hard. We have been using Boei mainly for small corporate websites. It really solves our need to have a small chat widget which does not add up 150Kb and XXXXX JS scripts. It's really lightweight and it does not affect your website speed.

I have been using Boei for over a year. It is very simple yet effective to implement it. Support is great - Ruben is always responsive and helpful. The product has also added new features which I have not yet needed but good to know Ruben is always working hard to add value to users of Boei. I am sure there are other similar solutions but for the price, support and features (and future updates), this is a great value.

I have a quick chat on each page, so it simplifies the way my clients can get in touch with me. It was very easy to implement and they continue to improve this software and are open to feedback. An easy way to add a communication widget to the website. I like best that it supports Messenger and Whatsaap, phone, email and live chat and it is easy to translate for multilingual pages. I can't think about real drowbacks. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] reply all the support questions quickly and effectively, they are open to feedback. I had no issues at all with this software. Maybe if they could add some protection against spammers if you use the contact form and in some future add a chatbot, that would be fantastic.

I was looking for a chat app to easily communicate with my customers. I didn't want to install anything overly complex and I just wanted something that worked within minutes. After briefly using Boei, I knew it was right for me. It's super lightweight and easy to use, plus it has all the chat bots that you might need! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something simple. I wish there was a better UI or more design options.

What do you like best about Boei? Simple, easy to use and implement with little technical support What do you dislike about Boei? Logo deisgns can be improved and some customization of logos of different widgets What problems is Boei solving and how is that benefiting you? On multiple sites, users require different feedback channels. This allows simple customization

What do you like best about Boei? The best part is the simplicity of the product and ease of use. What do you dislike about Boei? The weak part is the lack of depth for advanced users. What problems is Boei solving and how is that benefiting you? Helps capture visitors using different communication channels under one platform.

What do you like best about Boei? It's extremely easy to gather different communication channels under one UI, simplifying the contact process for users, which is essential because it allows us to meet our clients via their preferred method (and not the one we impose on them) What do you dislike about Boei? I wish they had more design options to make it less standard amongst different websites. Another thing that could be better is the speed at which new integrations are added; it could be faster. What problems is Boei solving and how is that benefiting you? Some users prefer contact forms, other live chats, other Instagram/facebook DmS, ETC. Boei allows us to display all these channels in a simplified and unified manner.

We have been using Boei for many clients over the past year and the impact on the page speed is negligible and helps convert website visitors to warm leads. Ease of deployment, lightweight code, and overall flexibility and functionality. The form component isn't exactly flexible and extensive enough for most uses so we often have to use another form solution.

What do you like best about Boei? Lightweight, opens instantly, lot of features (whatsapp, messenger, contact form, links) What do you dislike about Boei? Not including a built-in chat app, more design customizations could be good What problems is Boei solving and how is that benefiting you? Allowing website visitors to contact us through their preferred channel (whatsapp, phone call, etc)

I'm a tech noob, but Boei was super easy to install on my site. I've added several options for contacting me through different channels, links to questionnaires / contact forms, and links to my socials... It's so much more than just a chat button, which is awesome!

The greatest chat widget for websites I have ever tried. It's quite light and not reduce the site loading speed. Quite easy to install on any type of sites/CMS platform. The features and integrations is continuously developed. The support Ruben and his team provide is the best. Easily number one pick.

This is a great way to chat with visitors on their favorite channels. I really like this because it's simple to implement. It's also easy to find new integrations because there are many channels to choose from (Line, WhatsApp, Email, Contact form, etc.). Ruben, the founder, is also a great guy, always listening to users requests and feedbacks.

I want to leave this review because I want to tell you 2 important things: one is that those who don't speak English well often find themselves having to live with Google Translate as their best friend, and the other is that BOEI is fantastic, simple and intuitive even for those who don't speak English well. I am really enthusiastic about the ease of use from the first time, which I rarely find in a similar app. Personally I recommend it to everyone!

Very happy to give 5 Stars for this plugin. Over 70% of my business enquiries are coming from Smartphone users based on my Google Analytics. Boei allows those users to contact me on their preferred social Channel with one click. I also can follow up on that channel later or over time with the conversion thread preserved. It's a pop up with a GIF that looks great on my site. And it gives the prospective client the opportunity to fill out a standard contact form as well. I am implementing it on all my sites now, and I am very happy to recommend. I would try the free version first so you are sure. Thanks Fran
Proinsias M.

Proinsias M.

It was very easy to configure and setup on my website. The only issue I had to deal with was to decide what channels not to include in the pop up on the website. I need to be clear what are the essential channels to include for each site that I design. Very happy to give Top Marks to this Plugin. Most of my business enquiries are coming from Smartphone users based on my Analytics. Boei allows those users in particular contact me on the preferred social Channel with one click. I also can follow up on that channel later or over time with the conversion thread preserved. Its a pop up and also give the prospective client the opportunity to fill out a standard contact form as well. I am implementing it on all my sites now and I am very happy to recommend. I need to make sure I am not including channel options that are not relevant, so I need to be sure of my target audience to avoid clutter when the pop up is activated.

It makes it easier for website visitors to engage with me on the channel of their choice. Installing Boei was simple, took less than 5 minutes, and I was up and running. What I liked is that you can install it on Wordpress, HTML, and even on other page builders. You can use it with WhatsApp, Telegram, Live chat, Facebook messenger, or any combination of them at once so that visitors can pick the channel they're most comfortable with. None at the moment, everything is working as it should be.

How is this possible? I have been searching for a service like boei, without success for over a year. What magic is this? Isn't set up supposed to be supremely complicated, involving a coding degree, extensive technical knowledge and possibly a miracle? Boei just works. It works so well I was suspicious of it for nearly a whole week, sending endless texts and emails to myself in utter disbelief, when it failed to keel over! Set up is straight forward, easy and takes minutes. Seriously, I cannot recommend Boei enough.

Just about as easy as it gets. It uses all the ways you already have to connect to you, lets your customers choose how they want to connect, and doesn't give you another place to check for messages. Has plenty of configuration options, and support has been very responsive, and willing to listen to ideas to make improvements. Really pleased with how it looks on my sites as well. Bit of a bargain!

Boei has been a time saver for me. I was looking for a way to integrate various social media chat options into my website so that my customers can contact me using the platform of their choice. I tried 3-4 other platforms but nothing came closer to the experience I finally got from Boei. Its WhatsApp and Google Map integration bought me over. I just wish it has support for Frase assistant and Gist assistant. Ease of use, and painless integration of various chat platforms. lacking integration with Frase and Gist and some of the labels are confusing.

Facebook Messenger Widget FAQ

How does the Messenger widget work?

When a visitor clicks the Messenger button, it opens a direct conversation with your Facebook page or profile. On mobile it opens the Messenger app, on desktop it opens Messenger.com. You receive and respond from your regular Messenger app or Facebook Page inbox.

Do I need a Facebook Business Page?

No, Boei works with both personal profiles and business pages. However, a Business Page is recommended — it allows multiple team members to respond, provides analytics, and enables automated instant replies. Creating one is free.

Do visitors need a Facebook account?

Yes, visitors need a Facebook or Messenger account. With 3 billion monthly active users, the vast majority already have access. For visitors without Facebook, offer alternatives like WhatsApp or contact form in Boei's multi-channel widget.

What happened to the Facebook Chat Plugin?

Facebook deprecated its official Chat Plugin in 2024. It required heavy SDK integration, used cookies that conflicted with GDPR, and frequently broke. Boei provides a modern alternative using simple Messenger deep links — no SDK, no cookies, no breakage.

What's the difference between Messenger and WhatsApp?

Messenger requires a Facebook account (3 billion users). WhatsApp requires a phone number (2 billion users, dominant in Europe and Latin America). Messenger integrates with the Facebook ecosystem. Smart businesses offer both to maximize reach.

Is the Messenger widget GDPR compliant?

Yes. Boei's servers are in Amsterdam (EU). The widget uses zero cookies and collects no personal data before a visitor clicks. Once a conversation starts, it happens through Facebook's platform. We provide a DPA for businesses that need one.

Can I use Messenger alongside other channels?

Absolutely. Add Messenger alongside WhatsApp, Instagram DM, phone, email, AI chatbot, and 50+ other channels — all in one floating button.

How much does the Messenger widget cost?

Plans start from EUR 14/month with unlimited conversations and access to all 50+ channels. 7-day free trial, no credit card required. Unlike competitors that charge per agent, Boei includes everything in one flat price.

Setup Messenger Widget

Combine Messenger with Other Channels

  • WhatsApp — Dominant in Europe, India, and Latin America. Essential for international businesses.
  • Instagram DM — Ideal for visual brands and younger audiences. Covers the full Meta ecosystem.
  • Phone widget — For urgent matters and customers who prefer voice calls.
  • AI chatbot — For instant 24/7 answers to common questions.

Boei's multi-channel widget shows Messenger for North American visitors, WhatsApp for European visitors, and phone for urgent pages — all from a single floating button.
