Messaging Buyers About a Match

Once a match has been sent to you, the supplier portal includes a messaging thread for that match — a direct line to discuss details with the buyer (and our team).

Where to find it

Open a match from your Matches tab to see its details, including the message thread alongside the reply form.

What to use it for

  • Clarify details about volumes, packaging, or timelines
  • Share samples information, lead times, or pricing context
  • Ask questions before deciding how to respond to the match

Real-time updates

New messages appear in the thread as soon as they're sent — no need to refresh the page.

Closed matches

Once a match is marked Closed, the message thread becomes read-only — messaging is disabled, but your earlier conversation remains visible for reference.
