 * The website, Patriot, is designed as a platform for Patriots to come together
   and share ideas, now via a bbpress forum. I would, however, like to add a floating
   button for users to interact via chatbox, (preferably via ajax).
 * I have tried the following:
 * Wise Chat — no floating buttons
    WP User Chat — Widget not working
 * other chat plugins have paywalls or hidden fees, and I am not prepared to pay
   for this.

 * If no floating button is the only hindrance, that likely could be fixed with 
   some custom CSS. How is the chat box normally invoked by default?
 * For example, let’s say it’s a plain old link. The link can be CSS styled to look
   like a button. It can be made to float by applying `position: fixed;` style to
   the link element.

 * Wise Chat displayed it as an embedded box via a shortcode.

 * So it’s presumably an iframe element on the page. You cannot fix the position
   of individual elements in the iframe, but you could fix the entire iframe in 
   place on the viewport. Place the necessary CSS in the Additional CSS customizer
   section.
