Built around your daily work.
A buyer who is comparing floor plans may have one question standing between browsing and an inquiry. Barton Digital's optional live-chat module gives home companies a lightweight, responsive conversation path while keeping availability, company hours, assignments, attachments, security controls, and conversation records inside the same tenant-scoped platform.

Control when chat appears available
Companies can set an IANA time zone, weekly opening hours, overnight shifts, automatic schedule behavior, or a manual availability state.
Give staff a manageable conversation inbox
Authorized users can review conversations, reply, assign, change status, accept attachments, close or archive records, and retain audited context.
Capability 1
Use one responsive chat experience across devices
The embeddable chat interface is isolated from the host website, adapts to phones, tablets, and desktop browsers, and continues to display a clear offline path when the company is outside its published hours. It can be offered as a module rather than activated for every subscriber.- Responsive embedded widget
- Showroom and approved external-site origins
- Automatic open and closed state
- Offline message path
- Company-controlled module access
Capability 2
Organize conversations instead of creating another inbox
Company administrators and authorized staff can review active or archived conversations, see visitor and model context, assign responsibility, change workflow status, add internal notes, and respond from the company workspace. Barton owner tools retain platform-wide operational visibility.- Open, assigned, waiting, closed, archived, and blocked states
- Staff assignment and conversation search
- Visitor name, email, page, and model context
- Screenshots and supported attachments
- Company and Barton owner inboxes
Capability 3
Protect the public chat surface
Public chat requests use tenant licensing, origin allowlists, bans, rate limits, content-safety checks, short-lived real-time connection tickets, private attachment access, and activity or audit events. Company data remains separated by subscriber code.- Allowed-origin controls
- Rate limiting and ban enforcement
- Short-lived real-time socket tickets
- Private attachment delivery
- Moderation and audit history

Frequently asked questions
What companies ask about website live chat.
Does live chat have to be enabled for every company?
No. Live chat can be presented as an optional Barton Digital feature or subscription module and activated only for companies that select it.
Can a company set chat opening hours?
Yes. A company can configure a time zone and weekly business hours, including overnight schedules, or use manual availability when automatic scheduling is disabled.
Can the chat work on an existing website?
Yes. The widget is designed for approved external origins as well as Barton Digital showrooms. Installation depends on the existing website's ability to include the provided script.
Can customers upload screenshots in chat?
Yes. Supported attachments can be uploaded within the configured file-size and content-safety limits and remain privately controlled.
