Frequently Asked Questions

How to Operate

How will I know when someone wants to chat?

As soon as your customer clicks on your Premium.Chat profile or widget, they’ll be prompted to create an account. This process is very easy, and we’ll save their credit/debit card details so they can start future chats with you even faster.
 



Once they click ‘Begin Chat’, "Let's Talk Now" or "Start Video Chat" we’ll send you an SMS, WhatsApp, Web notification or Email notification with a special link to premium.chat with the chat request so you can connect similar to this one:

Just click the link, and you’ll see a pop-up notification showing the topic and price of the chat, and the name of the person's username requesting it. You’re completely free to accept or reject any chat request. You can accept chat requests from any mobile device or computer.

All chats take place securely on the premium.chat website so none of your private information is given out. 

Your customer will be charged a per-minute or flat-rate fee, depending on how you’ve set your prices. You’ll both see a timer showing how long the chat session has lasted. We never give out your phone number or contact details, so customers will never contact you directly on your phone.

Can I turn my availability on and off, or create a schedule?

Yes, and yes! You can turn your availability on and off manually or create an automated schedule. By creating a schedule, our system will automatically set your availability to online or offline at the times you’ve chosen for each day of the week. You can change your schedule anytime or log in to adjust availability with just a few clicks. Learn more about the different statuses such as Available, Online, Offline, and Busy.

What happens if I miss a chat request?

You have 5 minutes to respond to each chat request. If you’re a little late responding, you can send a missed chat request back to your customer automatically, to let them know you’re now available.

What are the different statuses for sellers on the Premium.chat platform?

The Premium.chat platform offers various statuses for sellers to help manage their availability and to ensure a seamless experience for both sellers and users. Instructions on how to manage your availability can be found here. These statuses are:
 

  1. Available: This status indicates that you are currently available to take chat requests. You can set this status in your availability settings, allowing users to know when they can reach out to you for a chat.
     

  2. Online: The Online status means that you have been active on the platform within the last 20 minutes. This status is automatically adjusted for you and helps your profile appear more prominently by flashing to users who see it. It's important to stay active and log in regularly to increase your chances of getting more chats and improving your visibility.
     

  3. Busy: The Busy status is displayed when you are currently engaged in a chat with another user. This lets other users know that you are not available for new chat requests at that moment.
     

  4. Offline: The Offline status means that you are unavailable to take chat requests. You can switch to this status manually if you need a break or have other commitments.

Additionally, you can set a custom schedule on the Premium.chat platform. This feature allows you to automatically switch your status from Available to Offline, or vice versa, according to your preferred working hours. This ensures that you are available to users when it's most convenient for you while also making it easy to manage your availability on the platform.
