Add IMSupporting to Your OpenCart Store

OpenCart live chat is typically a theme-level install. Add the IMSupporting widget to a global storefront location, save the change, then test the widget across your live store.

For OpenCart stores, the main objective is a global storefront placement so the chat widget loads across category, product, and support pages instead of only one template.
