What does a social commerce support team do?
It handles the conversations and admin that come with selling inside social apps. The team answers shopper messages and comments, converts DMs into orders, moderates chat during live-shopping streams, handles order, delivery and return questions under each platform’s rules, and opens and chases seller-center cases. It works in TikTok Shop Seller Center, Meta Business Suite and your helpdesk. Community management without a shop is on social media outsourcing.
