Why add live chat to Ghost?
Ghost publications live on reader trust, and readers ask about billing, access, and content far more than you might expect. Chat lets you answer without an email round trip, and the offline form collects questions overnight so replies never get lost.
Because Code Injection is site-wide, chat is available on posts, pages, and your membership screens without editing your theme.
