Live chat to marketplace — Efty adds

Live chat to marketplace — Efty adds

Domain owners can chat with potential domain buyers in real time.

When someone wants to buy a domain name they want a quick response from the domain owner. The faster you respond, the better your chances of closing the sale.

Domain sales platform Efty is taking fast response to the next level by integrating Tawk.to live chat on users’ marketplace sites.

Live chat won’t appear on each individual domain name, but many Efty users forward their domain names to a landing page in the marketplace. If they do this, the landing page has SSL and can use the live chat feature.

Tawk.to also lets domain owners monitor visitor behavior on their sites.

Efty also disclosed an integration with Mailchimp.
