At ikman, our goal is simple—to make buying and selling faster, easier, and more effective for everyone. That’s why we’re excited to roll out a brand-new feature that adds even more convenience to your experience: you can now contact sellers directly via WhatsApp!
This feature is available across all listings, whether it’s a vehicle, mobile phone, property, or service. Whether you’re a buyer looking for quick answers or a seller wanting more leads, WhatsApp makes the connection smoother and more direct.
What’s New?
Starting now, you’ll see a WhatsApp button alongside the existing Call and Chat options on every ad. Tapping on this button will open a WhatsApp chat with a pre-filled message:
“Hello! I’m interested in this ad on ikman Link: {ad link}”
The message also includes a preview image of the ad, so there’s no confusion about which listing the buyer is referring to.
For Buyers: Faster Conversations, Smarter Decisions
We understand how important it is to get quick replies when you’re interested in a product. With WhatsApp, you can start a conversation right away—ask questions, negotiate, and get more details instantly.
- Real-time communication with sellers
- No app switching—just tap and chat
- Easy to keep track of your buying conversations
This is especially helpful when browsing on mobile, making the journey from interest to purchase quicker and more convenient.
For Sellers: More Enquiries, More Opportunities
For sellers—both individual and business—this means more ways to hear from interested buyers. WhatsApp is one of the most widely used messaging apps in Sri Lanka, and enabling this feature opens the door to faster, more flexible communication.
- Better chances of attracting more buyers
- Manage leads easily through your existing WhatsApp account
To get the most out of this feature, make sure the first phone number listed in your ad is active on WhatsApp. This ensures the WhatsApp button is available to buyers, helping you receive more direct messages and close deals quicker.
A Win-Win for All
This update is part of our broader mission to improve the buying and selling experience for our users. By offering WhatsApp as a contact method, we’re not only adding flexibility but also helping both parties connect more efficiently, leading to better results.
