Description
Better Messages is an integration for WPAdverts that connects the real-time chat from the Better Messages plugin to the listing detail pages, allowing conversations between interested parties and sellers directly from the classified. The extension also provides context to the chat window, such as title, price and location of the listing, helping those who publish items and negotiate purchases keep every message tied to the correct listing.
