Messaging and notifications

Every transaction on Torra starts with a conversation. Built-in real-time messaging connects buyers and sellers across all four marketplaces, with notifications keeping you up to date.

Starting a conversation

Conversations begin from listings and profiles.

  • Message a seller from any product, service, property, or vehicle page.
  • Each conversation is tied to the listing it started from, keeping context clear.
  • You must be signed in to send messages.

Your inbox

All conversations live in the messages section of your account.

  • Messages deliver in real time over a live connection — no refreshing needed.
  • Unread indicators show which conversations need attention.
  • Sellers: fast responses are one of the biggest drivers of closed deals.

Notifications

Torra notifies you about activity that needs your attention.

  • New messages, booking updates, and account events generate notifications.
  • Notification preferences are managed from your account settings.

How to message, step by step

From listing to live conversation in a few clicks.

  1. 1Sign in first — messaging requires an account.
  2. 2On a product page, click “Message seller”; on a vehicle page, click “Message owner”; on a property, submit a “Schedule a Viewing” inquiry; on a service profile, use the contact action.
  3. 3Open your inbox any time via the “Messages” icon in the header.
  4. 4Reply from the conversation view — messages deliver instantly while both sides are online.

Staying safe in chat

Keep deals inside Torra messaging — it protects both sides.

  • Keep agreements in chat so there's a record of the terms.
  • Never share passwords, card numbers, or OTP codes in messages.
  • Report suspicious behaviour to Torra support.
