Multilingual support handles global traffic in everyone’s language, so your flash sale peak traffic support never skips a beat.

AI agents handle the flash sale rush around the clock

Ecommerce support under flash sale load breaks quickly if every "Where’s my order?" or "Can I stack coupons?" reaches a person. Chatref’s AI agents are trained on your own product pages, policies, and FAQs, so they resolve those repeat questions instantly, in your brand voice, and without hallucinating. This is flash sale peak traffic support that deflects the bulk of the rush before it ever hits your team’s queue—keeping response times fast and customers moving through checkout.

Real-time shared inbox for the questions that need a human

Chatref’s shared inbox lets your whole support team watch live chats and take over with full conversation history already visible. No forwarding, no lost context. During a flash sale rush, you can prioritize high-value tickets and leave the repetitive stuff to the AI, so every agent minute goes where it matters most.

That means you handle flash sale rush from international customers without juggling separate language queues, translators, or per-agent language skills. Multilingual peak traffic customer support, on autopilot.
