Using Quick Responses

Within all messages, whether it be in your Inbox, active order, or delivery message, you can create a quick response template to help you reply to your buyers much faster.

For example, If you're a graphic designer, you can expect buyers to ask about which file formats you provide. To avoid writing the same response to multiple buyers, you can create a templatized response named "Graphic Design Formats", where you can write a message detailing the file formats you provide in your Gig.
