Install Tiny Finch on WordPress with our plugin

The Tiny Finch WordPress plugin is the easiest way to add the Tiny Finch live chat widget to your WordPress website, without writing any code, touching <script> tags, or guessing how things work.

It’s designed for WordPress admins who prefer using plugins over dealing with HTML tags.

What the plugin does

Normally, installing Tiny Finch requires adding a <script> tag to your site’s HTML. If that sentence already made you sigh, this plugin is for you.

With the plugin, you install Tiny Finch like any other WordPress plugin: then, in the plugin settings you enter your Tiny Finch credentials once and the live chat widget appears automatically on your site.

  1. Go to your WordPress admin dashboard

  2. Open Plugins → Add Plugin (also see the screenshots below; follow the red arrows in order)

  3. Search for tinyfinch

  4. Click Install Now, then Activate

Customizing the widget

The WordPress plugin handles installation only. All customization happens in the Tiny Finch dashboard.

From the dashboard, you can:

  • Choose which pages show or hide the widget (page-level control is one of the most commonly used features, for example: hide it on checkout or legal pages)

  • Adjust widget behavior and appearance

  • Manage conversations and team settings

If you can install a WordPress plugin, you can install Tiny Finch. And if you ever wondered why a chat widget required editing HTML in 2026, congratulations! You no longer have to on WordPress.

For everything else, head to the Tiny Finch dashboard and make it yours.
