A store with Facebook Messenger live chat offers opportunities for real conversations that bigger marketplaces and brick-and-mortar stores just can’t or won’t. You get to be their personal shopper in a sense, recommending other items based on their needs, helping them choose the right size or giving them advice on how to use your product.

How to Use Facebook Messenger Live Chat
Facebook Messenger live chat can help you take advantage of instant replies, share your location, and guide your customers to the right products that will ultimately make them happy and encourage positive feedback. To get the most bang for your buck with Facebook Messenger’s live chat, check out the practices below.
Provide real-time customer care
To start selling via Facebook Messenger, you need to understand that real-time customer care can make all the difference for store visitors.
We’ve all been there. You’re browsing an online store and have a question. You don’t understand the sizing. You need more information on warranty, szolgáltatás, installation, care and maintenance, stb.. You can’t call because the seller’s in India or there’s no phone number for customer service because it’s a mom-and-pop shop. De, hey! All you have to do is click on Facebook Messenger live chat and voila! A real-time chat and instant customer service…win-win.
If you wonder: “How do I sell a product on chat?”, remember that there are sensitive purchasing situations where your customer would like more discretionary customer service. Think pharmaceutical cosmetics, lingerie, security products, presents, és a hasonlók. Live chat lets them feel more comfortable and allows you — the seller — to relate to them on a personal level.
Remember that customers can see how fast you respond to messages from your Facebook Business Page, so you shouldn’t put off checking your Messenger if you can avoid it. It’s better to answer as soon as possible to keep that “Very responsive to messages” badge and keep customers engaging with your live chat.
Set up instant replies, greetings, and away messages
To look more professional and stay efficient, take advantage of the following settings:
- Create a custom Facebook Messenger greeting
- Use ‘Instant Reply’ for situations like letting folks know you’re away
A Messenger greeting is a greeting that people will see the first time they open a conversation with you on Messenger:
A Facebook Messenger greeting brings your brand and personality to life online. Open your Facebook business page settings, click on the “Messaging” tab, and jump to the “Response Assistant” section. You can write a message up to 160 characters and use the name of your recipient, a Facebook page link, or an address.
Another helpful setting is Instant Reply, an auto-response to the first message someone sends to you:
To activate Instant Reply, go to “Inbox” at the top of your Facebook page, then jump to “Automated Responses.” You can customize your message to say hello, give more information about your store, or let customers know when to expect a reply.
In the same “Automated Responses” section, you can also turn on an Away Message. People will receive this if they write to you when you’re away and can’t answer immediately:
To use this feature, you’ll need to set your Facebook page’s messaging status to away. Go to your “Inbox,” and in the left column, set your messaging status to “Away.” Then jump to the “Automated Responses” section and edit your Away Message. It’s best to let customers know exactly how long you’ll be away and when they can expect your response. You can also add personalization: a name of a recipient, a Facebook page link, or an address.
Create saved replies
Customers often ask similar questions about price, méret, or the use of a product. To save yourself time answering these types of messages, you can use “Saved Replies.”
To start using this feature, go to Facebook Messenger and open any chat. Click on the icon with three dots in the bottom of the chat window and choose “Create Saved Reply.” Enter a reply title and the message itself. You can add photos or even personalize your messages if you like!
Share locations
Do you offer in-store pickup, sell at street markets, pop-ups, kiosks, stb.? Share your location with a customer in seconds to save time texting directions to your shop. Location-sharing makes it easier for customers to find you fast.
Learn more about your customers
Chatting with someone on Facebook Messenger means you can have a look at their Facebook page. It usually contains a lot of useful information on who your customers are – their age, gender, elhelyezkedés, érdekeit, life events, and communication style. This makes for a great way to uncover anecdotal insights and communicate to your customers in a more organic way.
Install Facebook Pages Manager app
You can install the Facebook Pages Manager app (iOS, Android) to manage Facebook messages, comments on your posts and Instagram comments in one inbox. The app allows you to see all of your notifications in one place, and you’ll be able to manage your pages and reply to clients without using a computer. Ily módon, you’ll stay in touch with your customers no matter where they leave their questions: a Messengerben, on Instagram’s DM, vagy az oldalaidon található megjegyzésekben.
Start Selling with Facebook Messenger
