How do we organise after-sales support when selling chargers on marketplaces in several countries?

Main answer · Wecent Editorial Team

Short answer: Use one shared inbox or help desk for all marketplaces, with written response times, templates for common questions, a simple returns and warranty policy and a log of faults by model and batch. Decide who answers technical, shipping and warranty questions, and when a case goes to the factory.

The problem

Each marketplace has its own message system, its own return rules and its own metrics. Without one process, questions get lost, answers differ and the same fault appears in several places.

Build a simple structure

1. One place to work. A shared inbox or help desk that collects messages from all marketplaces.
2. Roles. Who answers technical questions, who handles returns, who contacts the factory.
3. Response times. A target for the first reply, and a target for resolution.
4. Templates. Replies for common questions: charging speed, compatibility, cables, shipping, warranty.
5. Return policy. Follow each marketplace’s rules, and keep your own policy clear.
6. Warranty steps. What proof you need, such as an order number and a photo, and what you offer.
7. Escalation. When a case goes to the factory, with a standard form.

Log everything

Record the model, batch, marketplace, issue type and result. After a month you will see patterns, such as a particular model with heat complaints or a cable that fails.

Technical help

Prepare short guides for common issues, such as slow charging, unrecognised devices and heat. Use clear, honest answers, and tell customers when to stop using a product for safety.

Keep it consistent

Use the same warranty and tone on every marketplace. Check each platform’s seller rules for what you must offer.

Measure

Track response time, resolution time, return rate and customer ratings by marketplace and by model.

Share data with product teams

Send a monthly summary to purchasing and the factory, so that problems are fixed at the source.

Quick summary

One inbox, clear roles, templates, a log and a monthly report.

First month plan

Week one: connect all marketplace messages to one inbox and agree the roles. Week two: write templates for the five most common questions. Week three: start the fault log and the response-time target. Week four: review the first data and fix the biggest cause of complaints. A small start that is kept up is better than a perfect system that never launches.
