Uses Script Manager, BigCommerce's own tool for third-party scripts, so no theme files change.
Works with Stencil themes and Catalyst storefronts (Script Manager doesn't support Blueprint themes).
Fits the cookie consent banner: BigCommerce files live chat under Functional scripts.
The script loads asynchronously, so it doesn't block your page.

};

In practice
How Replyze fits into BigCommerce
Script Manager (Storefront → Script Manager; on multi-storefront, inside Channel Manager) is the cleanest path: create a script, place it in the footer on your storefront pages, paste the snippet and save. The chat then appears on every storefront page.
Choose Storefront pages rather than All pages. BigCommerce requires every script on the checkout page to carry an SRI hash, and the Replyze widget script is updated in place at the same address, so a fixed hash would soon block it.
The Script category decides how BigCommerce's cookie consent banner treats the script. Essential scripts always load; BigCommerce describes Functional scripts as enhanced functionality such as live chat, and shoppers who opt out of Functional won't get the chat. Pick the category that matches your consent policy. Separately, the widget can start with visitor tracking off (tracking: false in ReplyzeConfig) and switch it on with Replyze.setTracking(true) once a shopper consents.

FAQ
BigCommerce + Replyze, answered
Footer. The widget loads asynchronously, so either works, but the footer keeps it out of the way of scripts that must run first.
Not easily. BigCommerce needs an SRI hash for every script on the checkout page, and a hash for the Replyze script would break each time the widget is updated, so keep Location on Storefront pages.
