Real innovation has stopped happening in E-commerce. Now everything is "add VR, add visual search features, AI try on"—these ideas have an impact score of 1s and 2s out of 10.
Do you think your customers really care about them when they are looking to buy a product?
The amount of time & efforts spent by an average instagram & whatsapp seller for managing DMs is mind boggling & unhealthy. We should bring order into this chaos else their growth can't match their ambition.
@Pranshi7tech I've read through comments (about 50!), lots of interesting ideas. You've probably experienced this firsthand many times too. How do you think this issue gets solved? We're building a shopping social network for SMBs and their buyers and really want to fix this! 🤔💡 #Ideas
@Maveric61652636@Pranshi7tech And that's not enough, the rating (score) with other seller reviews on customer previous purchases & returns should be visible to the seller when they receive order and they should have power to confirm or cancel the order. We implemented the latter, soon the former.
@veeradutta_engg@Pranshi7tech Very interesting ideas. We built something like support score, a metric for buyers to support SMB based on their engagement, purchases from the businesses but a metric that is only tied to purchase and returns would be super apt mechanism for these fraud behaviour.
Swadesic is now packed with so many new features like adding custom variants to your products, more personalized cover image to your stores, private mode for new stores so the buyers only see stores that are credible, more streamlined in-app messaging and many more..
Next step in evolution of ecommerce is not in increasing the volume but quality of transactions. Businesses now lack quality of transaction & customer loyalty, not access to people. The biggest longer-term threat every business faces is commoditization not clearance of inventory.
