Find Your HelperHat Business ID

Open your HelperHat Settings page and copy the value after businessId= in your install code.

<script async defer
    src="https://helperhat.com/install.js?businessId=YOUR_ID"></script>

Option 2: Add HelperHat Manually

If the plugin is not available yet, add the HelperHat install code to your WordPress theme or a trusted header/footer code plugin.

  1. Copy your full HelperHat install code from HelperHat Settings.
  2. Paste it before the closing </body> tag, or into a WordPress header/footer code manager that inserts code before </body>.
  3. Save, clear cache, and open your public website.

Verify the Installation

  • Open a public page in an incognito/private browser window.
  • Confirm the HelperHat chat button appears near the bottom corner.
  • If it does not appear, check that your business ID is correct and that caching/minification plugins are not blocking external scripts.
