How to define an inactive seller

An inactive seller refers to a seller who has no signs of active operations in the past 15 days.

Policy Definition

At Lazada, we are committed to the goal of providing our buyers with a wide variety of high-quality products from active sellers. When buyers purchase from inactive sellers, orders are ignored and eventually canceled, resulting in an unpleasant shopping experience and potential lost sales.

Our expectations for sellers

Lazada requires sellers to actively operate their stores on Lazada to ensure a good shopping experience for all buyers. We understand your need for vacation or adjustments. If you have no one to manage your store during your vacation, we strongly recommend that you set your store to vacation mode.

This may help you too! You’ll avoid giving buyers an unpleasant shopping experience because you’re on vacation and can’t process orders in a timely manner, resulting in a bad rating.

What happens when a seller becomes inactive?

When a seller is inactive for 15 days, the store status will change to “Holiday Mode”.

When a store is put into holiday mode, the store’s products will not be visible, but this does not mean that the products are offline, but consumers will not see the store’s products at the front desk.

The store will receive an email indicating that the store status has been adjusted to holiday mode.
