In the recent past, the eCommerce business has been flourishing. According to The Nasdaq Stock Market report, by the year 2040, as much as 95% of shopping will be facilitated by eCommerce.
Shopify, WooCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop, Magento, and Salesforce Commerce are some of the popular e-commerce platforms.
Shopify, with over 2 million customers, has been consistently gaining attention with small business to enterprises despite having strong competitors in its segment.
Challenges in managing an eCommerce store
Small businesses generally have a single eCommerce store to sell their products. Nevertheless, some online retailers may have different stores for different products.
Owning and operating an eCommerce store is no easy deal unless you set up a proper mechanism to manage them in a centralized place.
Customers reach out to you through various means like email, chat, phone, and social media channels like Facebook and Twitter, and they expect you to acknowledge them instantly with a response. The volume of incoming customer queries increases with multiple sales channels and Shopify storefronts.
One of the biggest problems in an online business is the inability to handle and serve a large volume of these multi-channel customer queries and concerns. It is a cumbersome process to login to each of your Shopify backends, match the stock-keeping unit (SKU) with the order details of your customer. Customers will get annoyed if there is a delay in your average response time.
According to a report by Statuslab, as much as 89% of shoppers claim that they have stopped buying from online stores after they have experienced poor customer support.
With a growing business, It is becoming a difficult task to manage and provide exceptional support to the customers.
