Cross-Border E-Commerce Must-Read: Lazada Product Quality Score New Policy Interpretation and Multi-Store Optimization Strategies

Lazada Product Quality Score (QS) is a key metric for evaluating product performance and seller service capabilities, directly affecting search rankings, campaign eligibility, and store weight. This article details the components of the new QS policy, its impact on multi-store sellers, and provides a practical daily checklist and optimization methods to systematically improve QS scores and avoid violations.

Introduction

Lazada Product Quality Score (QS) is a quantitative indicator that comprehensively evaluates product page quality, buyer experience, and seller fulfillment capability. Since 2025, Lazada has frequently updated the QS algorithm, incorporating more real-time feedback (e.g., return rate, buyer reviews, chat response quality) into the scoring system. For sellers operating multiple stores, a decline in QS for any single store can drag down overall exposure and order conversion, even restricting participation in platform promotions.

This article focuses on the core dimensions of QS (product information accuracy, order fulfillment quality, customer service response efficiency, buyer satisfaction) and provides a daily inspection checklist and batch optimization workflow for multi-store management, helping sellers maintain a stable high QS level.

Common Operational Issues

• Inconsistent Information Quality: The same product across multiple stores has different descriptions, images, or attributes, leading to low QS for some stores.
• Delayed Order Fulfillment: Manually processing orders from multiple stores can result in missed or late shipments, triggering penalty points that directly affect QS fulfillment metrics.
• Slow Customer Service Responses: Chat sessions across stores are scattered, making it difficult to reply within 15 minutes, and chat response rate is an increasingly important QS factor.
• Unaddressed Inventory Anomalies: Stockouts or overselling lead to order cancellations, increasing cancellation rate which negatively impacts QS return-related dimensions.
• Unisolated Account Risks: If one store violates rules and gets flagged, other stores' QS may be affected as well.

These issues are especially prominent in multi-store operations, where manual checks are inefficient and prone to errors.

Specific Processing Steps

1. Daily QS-Related Metric Checks

Operators should check the following core modules every day (preferably in the morning):

• Order Status: Check for orders pending shipment for over 24 hours; prioritize those nearing timeout.
• Customer Service Messages: Scan all stores for unanswered sessions; ensure responses within 15 minutes.
• Inventory Alerts: Check stock for products with high sales fluctuations; replenish or delist below safety stock.
• Negative Reviews and Return Requests: Analyze reasons for negative reviews, negotiate with buyers to reduce return rates.
• Account Login Status: Confirm all store sub-accounts are active to avoid authorization failures.

2. Batch Optimization of Product Information Quality

For listed products, improve QS information scores with these steps:

• Standardize titles, main images, descriptions, and attributes for the same product across different stores.
• Check image resolution (800x800 pixels or higher) and ensure main images do not contain brand logos or promotional text (violations deduct points).
• Verify product categories are correct; incorrect placement reduces searchability.
• For high-traffic, low-conversion products, optimize selling points and price competitiveness.

3. Automate Order Fulfillment

Use an e-commerce ERP to centrally manage orders from multiple stores, automatically syncing order status, printing labels, and pushing shipments. Key settings:

• Timeout Warnings: Automatically highlight orders approaching platform shipping deadlines (e.g., 72 hours for Lazada cross-border).
• Batch Shipping: Process all pending orders in one click to avoid missing any store.
• Auto-Tag Anomalous Orders: Automatically categorize orders with address issues, stockouts, or suspected fraud for priority handling.

4. Centralized Customer Service Management

Unify chat sessions from multiple stores into one panel, set up quick reply templates for common issues (shipping, returns/exchanges, stock). Configure smart tags for unanswered messages to ensure each store's chat response rate meets platform thresholds.

5. Inventory Synchronization and Alerts

Create a unified inventory ledger. When stock for any SKU at any store falls below safety level, automatically restrict sales across all platforms/stores to prevent cancellations due to overselling. Monitor products with abnormal stock fluctuations and adjust replenishment plans timely.

Checklist

Below is a daily QS-related operations checklist that operators should follow sequentially:

Check Item	Why It's Important	How to Check	Frequency
Pending Order List	Late shipment directly lowers QS fulfillment score	Log in to ERP to view all stores' pending orders; filter orders over 24 hours old	Twice daily (morning and afternoon)
Unanswered Customer Messages	Response rate is a new QS weight indicator	Open customer service panel, filter unanswered sessions; ensure responses within 15 minutes	Continuous rolling follow-up
Inventory Warning Products	Stockouts/overselling cause order cancellations, increasing return rate metrics	Check inventory report, flag SKUs with less than 10 units; assess whether to delist or restock	Once daily
Buyer Negative Reviews & Return List	High negative review rate reduces product exposure	Check store reviews and return orders; analyze common causes and follow up	Once daily
Product Category & Attributes	Wrong category or missing attributes lower relevance score	Randomly check 5 hot-selling products per store; confirm category and required attributes	Once weekly
Image/Title Compliance	Non-compliant images or titles cause system deductions	Check main images for promotional text, brand logo authenticity, and banned words in titles	Once weekly
Account Authorization Status	Expired authorization prevents store operations, affecting all metrics	Check login status of all stores in ERP; reauthorize if expired	Once daily

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How do I manage multiple stores uniformly?

Use an e-commerce ERP (like Jixianfen SpeedSell) to centrally manage stores, orders, products, and customer service in one interface, avoiding efficiency loss and missed orders from frequent account switching.

2. What daily checks do operators need to perform?

Focus on order pending status, unanswered customer messages, inventory alerts, buyer negative reviews, and account login status (see checklist for details).

3. How to reduce the risk of missed orders?

Use an ERP to automatically sync orders, set timeout warnings and anomaly markers, and perform two mandatory daily checks to significantly reduce missed orders.

4. Too many customer service messages—what to do?

Pre-set common quick reply templates (e.g., tracking, return/exchange guides, product recommendations) and set up auto-routing rules to match common questions with answers, reducing manual responses.

5. How to improve operational efficiency?

Utilize ERP batch operations (batch shipping, price changes, label generation) and scheduled tasks (auto-update inventory, auto-reply) to minimize repetitive work.

6. How often is QS updated?

Lazada QS typically updates daily, but some dimensions (e.g., buyer reviews) use a rolling 30-day window; after optimization, observe for 1–2 weeks for results.

7. If a store is penalized for violations, does QS get affected?

Yes. Accumulated violation points can trigger store restrictions, and the "trust" dimension of QS will directly decrease. Appeal or rectify promptly.

8. Is it normal for the same product to have different QS across stores?

Normal. Differences in order ratings, customer service responses, and return rates lead to varying QS. Optimize other stores based on the best-performing store.

9. Can I use automation tools to batch-optimize product information?

Yes. Tools like Jixianfen SpeedSell's product center allow batch editing of titles, images, descriptions, and attributes while maintaining consistency across stores, improving information quality scores.

10. Why does inventory anomaly affect QS?

Stockouts leading to order cancellations increase cancellation rate, a negative QS indicator. Stockouts also cause buyer complaints, affecting seller ratings.
