How to Boost Moodle™ Course Sales on WooCommerce with Edwiser Bridge and Live Chat

Boost Moodle Course Sales on WooCommerce with Edwiser Bridge and Live Chat

Table of Contents

We love Moodle™. And we’re sure most people from the education and e-Learning sector do. It’s an awesome affordable collaborative LMS.

It’s great at what it does – teaching, delivering and distributing learning material, video conferencing, communication with students, managing learning assessments, grading, analyzing and reporting. But it has limited course-selling capabilities

Edwiser Bridge easily solved this problem by integrating Moodle with WordPress. To expand your course selling options, you need the Edwiser Bridge PRO to sell your courses using 160+ payment gateways.

By now, let’s say you might have your course-selling site successfully running on WordPress using Edwiser Bridge. 

But is this enough to expand your earning potential or help you make more sales?

The question is, what to do next, once you’ve set up a WordPress-WooCommerce store? 

You might think you have it all figured out. But you missed one thing. 

We’ll drop a hint if that helps – Think from the customers’ perspective and think about what you would like in a WooCommerce store as a customer before or after buying a specific product? 

Does it ring any bells? 

It’s quick, simple to use and easily accessible customer service

There are several ways of providing good customer service after you start your course selling business on WooCommerce. We vote for live chat.

Live Chat is your best friend and works great to improve sales and customer bonding! Having the live chat feature on your WordPress-WooCommerce course-selling site is crucial for keeping customers happy.

Why do Customers Love Live Chat?

Chatting apps and platforms are quite popular today. Why? 

Because it is the most preferred mode of communication. 

The truth is, most customers prefer real-time communication. 44% of online consumers say that having questions answered by a live person during an online purchase is one of the most important features a website can offer. Simply because it saves time, is convenient and gives a more personal touch.

Your customers won’t have to break their daily routine to resolve their concerns about the courses they purchase on your WordPress site. 

The difference is simple to understand, no rocket science here- The experience when you send a friendly message through a chat platform to a person is way more personalized and different as compared to an email to the same person. Customers are more comfortable with the former. 

When it comes to a business environment, especially in customer support, assistance, and pre-sale support, no other method can personalize communication like how a live chat does.

Building a Strong Customer Base

You can build a loyal customer base with personalized assistance offered through a medium that’s by far the most comfortable for them. Moreover, it’s the quickest interaction channel as it has a wait time ranging from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.  

If a live chat widget pop-ups when your customers open your WooCommerce store, it’s an immediate sign for the customer that shows that you care about their feedback or any pre-purchase concerns. Also, it’s easier for them to shoot a query or doubt almost instantly through the chat. You can even improve your responsiveness by configuring some automated messages on the widget. 

82% of consumers need some kind of assistance while buying online – need we say more? If you look at the statistics, it’s clear how crucial live chat is to grow your e-Learning business on WordPress or any website for that matter. 

Why Does Your WooCommerce Store Need a Live Chat Option?

Live chat on your WooCommerce store can work wonders in building trust and long-term relationships with your customers. It’s a great avenue to boost customer engagement and eventually increase sales.

Like any other business, eCommerce stores also require customer support as well as pre-sale assistance. Sometimes they need to get your assistance until they get familiar with your products, or return, refunds, and so on.

Even before buying a product, they might need to know about the details of the product and need your help to pick the right product they require.

You might have displayed your email address and contact number, or a contact form for the customers. They may not feel comfortable asking their doubts through these sources, maybe they are not convenient, or they have a minor doubt.

Even if it is a small or important query, a live chat form will make it easy for them to reach out to you.

So, be wise and don’t lose out on your WooCommerce store sales.
