Chatra Review
What is Chatra?
Chatra is a live chat messenger app to help you to increase online sales and offers you an easy and low-price way to chat with people who visit your website. The tool is especially designed for business and it is easy to use. Chatra connects you with your customers instantly in the shortest amount of time possible!
Chatra started in 2009 and it was back then an online-only jeans brand called Getwear.com. After realizing that real-time communication with customers can be very time-consuming, the founders decided to create a communication tool for SMBs that both make customers satisfied and help business owners to better manage their time.
Chatra Features
Although it is a professional software designed for business, Chatra is lightweight and easy to use. It only takes few minutes to set it up and you will most likely be able to manage it without the help of a professional developer! It is suitable for small to medium sized companies and businesses. The most important thing to learn about Chatra: conversations.
Chatra Features

Essential and Pro also offer the email helpdesk and facebook messenger functions. Email helpdesk helps you to connect the email your customer uses to contact you and manage your email conversations at the same time as managing your chats. With facebook messenger, you can chat with people who message from Facebook directly via Chatra.
