Some buyers that are new to online shopping may turn out to be not familiar with the payment procedures of Cross-border E-commerce platforms, and thus fail to complete the order after initiating one. In this case, sellers should give in-time communication and patient explanation to related questions. Meanwhile, suppliers should contact purchasers to first of all thank their support, also to enquire of any possible problems occurred in the process of payment and inform them of the procedures and offer help accordingly, when some unpaid orders especially those repeated ones from one buyer are spotted.
PART 2 Passage Reading
Though most of the buyers are able to see through this process, some still may have payment failure after multiple attempts. Therefore, when asked for assistance, sellers shall let buyers know potential reasons for the failure and help them through the payment to finally win the order back. Additionally, some may have no clue to use the shopping cart to combine the purchasing and payment for various types of products in one store, which leads to the inconvenience on both sides caused by redundant orders from one buyer. In this sense, sellers shall guide them to reasonably use the cart and to incorporate the order payments.跨Βιβλιοθήκη 电商系列教材跨境电商实用英语
