How does this method work?
In online sales, the marketplace, your own store and the direct demand collection channel have different responsibilities. The marketplace can provide customer access, but it has commissions and rules; While your own store offers more control, it requires traffic and technical operation. First, try to understand how the product is sought by the customer and their need for trust.
Evaluation with a concrete example
Photography, measurement and lead time can be critical for a handmade product; For a standard spare part, compatibility information is more decisive. Copying the same description on all products may increase incorrect orders and returns. Save the order price appearing on the platform and the amount transferred to your account separately. Treat canceled or not yet delivered orders as completed successes.
Your first application: what should you have?
Choose a channel, prepare the first product description based on real customer questions, and track the test order from start to finish. Write down stock, packaging and support capacity. Verify the sales terms and required business operations with relevant experts. Output is not only the opened store but also a small sales process that has been observed to work from order to collection.
