Frequently Asked Questions
How do product tours help reduce seller onboarding time?
Interactive walkthroughs guide sellers through each setup step directly inside the platform, eliminating the need for training videos or documentation. Sellers can list their first product during the tour itself, reducing setup time from days to minutes.
Can tours be triggered based on buyer shopping behavior?
Yes. You can trigger tours based on user actions like first purchase, cart abandonment, or browsing specific categories. For example, show a loyalty program tour after a buyer's first purchase, or highlight comparison tools when browsing similar products.
How do e-commerce platforms use announcements for promotions?
Targeted announcements can notify sellers about upcoming promotional events and deadlines, or alert buyers about flash sales and new arrivals in their preferred categories. Segmentation ensures each user sees only relevant promotions.
