Chat within a Buyer Site? Yes, you heard it right!

Buyer Site introduces open communication between a Buyer and Seller through its amazing feature called Buyer Site Chat. The “all in one place” Buyer Site chat allows the Seller, Buyer and all the Buyer Sites contact to chat in the same buyer site, hence, making the communication easier for all parties.

What is the use of Buyer Site Chat?

The Buyer Site Chat room makes the exchange of messages easy, simple and centralized between the parties involved in the deal. Using the Buyer Site Chat, all the site contacts can communicate from within the Buyer site directly instead of using the traditional method of email which fears the loss of communication between the threads.

Who can chat from the Buyer Site?

All the contacts who have access to the Buyer Site can communicate from the site by clicking on the Chat icon located bottom-right.
