Revolutionise Your Buying/Selling Experience with Horsezone Connect

The team at Horsezone is always on the lookout for innovative and easy-to-use methods of enhancing your experience when using our website, which has led to the development of the brilliant new feature - Horsezone Connect! 

A world first for online horse sales, Horsezone Connect is going to revolutionise your experience while buying/selling or simply browsing listings on Horsezone.
 
What is Horsezone Connect?
The horse industry is a tight knit community. You can use ‘Horsezone Connect’ to find out if the items you’re browsing are listed by someone connected to you or one of your Facebook friends.

Horsezone Connect links your Facebook account to your Horsezone account. If a user browsing your advertisement has joined Horsezone Connect, they will see if they are friends or have any friends in common with you. That way, they can have confidence that you are a reputable seller and the very least, a real human and create a connection with you before they even call.

Using your Facebook friends list, Horsezone Connect helps you connect as buyers and sellers with more certainty. It lets you know if you have any common friends or if the person is someone you already know.

Below is what a person who shares Facebook friends with you will see when browsing your listing.

 

How do I use Horsezone Connect?

1.    Log in to your Horsezone account.

2.    Link your Facebook account to Horsezone Connect by clicking on ‘join’ on the Horsezone Connect page.

 

 

How does it work for people browsing the site?

First off you need to register with Horsezone Connect. Then, when you are browsing, Horsezone Connect works by looking at your Facebook friends list and finding mutual connections between you and the seller.

Horsezone Connect does this simply by comparing the unique Facebook ID (provided by Facebook) for each of your friends with the unique ID’s of each of the sellers Facebook friends. If there is a match, meaning you have a friend in common, we will display this on the advertisement for you to see.

How does it work for people selling an item on the site?

When you have listed an item for sale on Horsezone, you will be prompted to join Horsezone Connect. After you agree and a user browsing your advertisement has joined Horsezone Connect, they will see if they have any friends in common with you. That way, they can have confidence you are a reputable seller and the very least, a real human.

The browser will not see your name, only your Horsezone User Name, as is currently the way. The additional information they will see is when they have a friend in common or are friends with you.
