Buyer questions
Good questions before you hire.
Can outsourced customer support handle refunds?
They can prepare the details and send approved replies. Refund approval should stay with the owner or manager unless the rule is simple, written down, and tested.
What tools should we prepare before hiring support help?
Prepare helpdesk access, saved replies, order lookup rules, customer tags, and a short list of issues that must be escalated.
