Boost Cross-Border E-Commerce Efficiency: How to Quickly Identify Lazada Multi-Shop Customer Conversations and Use Site Tags
This guide details the information display elements in Lazada multi-shop customer service conversation lists: buyer name, last message, site tags, and store ownership. It helps operators quickly identify conversation sources, eliminate reply confusion, and boost efficiency.
Introduction
In cross-border e-commerce multi-store operations, Lazada is a major Southeast Asian platform. Many sellers run stores in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and other sites. Due to language and cultural differences among sites and the parallel operation of multiple stores, customer service agents often confuse buyer origins, leading to replying to the wrong store or site, which severely impacts customer experience. The Lazada aggregated customer service panel provides rich conversation information display to help operators quickly identify the ownership of each conversation. This article explains the usage of these information elements from a practical cross-border e-commerce operations perspective.
Common Operational Issues
- Conversation ownership confusion: Conversations from multiple sites are mixed in the same list, making it hard for agents to distinguish which store or site a buyer belongs to at a glance.
- Difficulty identifying buyers: When there’s no avatar or duplicate avatars, it’s hard to quickly locate conversation context.
- Wrong multi-store replies: Due to insufficient information, agents might mistakenly reply to a Singapore buyer's message from a Malaysia store, causing violations.
- Inefficient site switching: Agents need to frequently click store names or check back-and-forth messages to confirm the site, which consumes time.
Specific Process
1. Understanding the Lazada Conversation List Information Structure
In SpeedSell's Lazada aggregated customer service panel, each conversation item contains the following key fields:
- Buyer avatar: Prioritizes displaying the buyer's avatar URL; if none, displays a text avatar with the first letter of the buyer's name.
- Buyer display name: The buyer's nickname set on the platform.
- Last message summary: Text snippet of the last message.
- Timestamp: Time of the last message.
- Unread count: Number of unread messages (badge).
- Site tag: Displayed as a short code at the bottom right of the avatar, e.g., SG, MY, VN, TH.
- Assign store name: Displayed at the bottom line of the conversation list, prioritizing the store's custom remark name, then the official store name.
- Buyer account: Optionally displayed for technical troubleshooting.
2. Using Site Tags to Quickly Distinguish Sites
The site tag is a two-letter short code attached to the bottom right of the avatar, the fastest way to identify the site. When agents see the site tag, they know which country site the conversation comes from, allowing them to reply with the appropriate language and cultural habits. For example, SG stands for Singapore, MY for Malaysia. In SpeedSell, site tags are clearly displayed on the conversation list avatars.
3. Using Store Names to Confirm Store Ownership
The bottom of the conversation list shows the store name to which the conversation belongs. Operators can set easily identifiable remark names for stores in the backend (e.g., "Singapore Women's Clothing Store", "Malaysia Accessories Store"), so even if multiple stores are on the same site, they can be quickly distinguished. Store remark names are displayed preferentially over official store names.
4. Buyer Avatars and First Letter Quick Identification
When a buyer has no avatar, the system automatically uses the first character of the buyer's display name as a text avatar with a random background color. This gives each conversation item visual distinction, and even similar names can be identified by color.
5. Combining Last Message and Unread Count to Gauge Conversation Urgency
The last message summary helps determine if it is a critical issue requiring immediate reply. High unread count indicates the buyer is waiting, so it should be prioritized. By combining "store name + site tag + unread count," agents can quickly prioritize tasks.
Checklist
Here are the key points to check during daily Lazada multi-shop customer service conversation inspections:
| Check Item | Why It’s Important | How to Check | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site tags displayed correctly | Avoid replying to the wrong site | Observe if the short code at the avatar's bottom right matches the store's actual site | Every time you open the conversation list |
| Store remark name easy to distinguish | Quickly identify store ownership | Set remark names to business-related names in store management | When adding a new store |
| Unread count abnormally high | May indicate missed replies or buyer escalation | Pay attention to conversations with more than 5 unread messages | Every 2 hours |
| Buyer avatar loading properly | Text avatar clarity when no avatar | Check if text avatars for conversations without avatars are visible | Once a day |
| Last message matches store business | Confirm it hasn't been misassigned to another store | After opening the conversation, check store name and buyer issue | Before each reply |
