We are pleased to announce that the new Xcat Messaging System is now live across the Xcatalogue website.
This new feature allows buyers, sellers, vendors, and the Xcat team to communicate directly through the website, making it easier than ever to ask questions, receive support, discuss products, and stay connected within the marketplace.
Key features of the first release include:
✅ Direct internal messaging
✅ Conversation threads
✅ Unread message notifications
✅ Integrated My Account messaging centre
✅ Message moderation and safety controls
✅ Live updates and message polling
✅ Bulk message management tools
This is an important milestone for Xcatalogue as we continue building a trusted marketplace and community for DIY enthusiasts, tradespeople, tool users, and sellers.
The messaging system provides the foundation for a number of future enhancements already planned, including:
• Marketplace announcements and broadcasts
• Message notification digests
• Automated customer and vendor communications
• Enhanced seller support tools
• Community engagement features
As with all new systems, we will continue refining and improving the messaging experience based on user feedback.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the growth of Xcat. We are excited to take another step forward in building a marketplace designed around both buyers and sellers.
