AssistBPO gives you a named data entry specialist who works in your hours, follows your listing conventions and checks every field against the source before publishing. A wrong price on a variant, a missing size, a stale stock count or a broken image is an order lost or refunded, and the specialist's job is to find them before customers do. Work arrives as a queue: new products to build, bulk price and tag updates, marketplace flat files, stock reconciliations, supplier catalog imports and the Friday listing audit. Accuracy is sampled weekly by the team lead and reported alongside records processed. Plain definition ## What are data entry services? Data entry services are the keying of information from one place into another: paper forms into a database, PDF invoices into accounting software, business cards into a CRM, survey answers into a spreadsheet. A good data entry service adds validation rules, a second-person check and a batch log, so the output can be trusted without re-checking every row yourself. ## What tasks does data entry cover for e-commerce brands? - Build and update product listings, variants, prices, images and metafields - Prepare and upload Amazon flat files and fix listing errors - Reconcile inventory across Shopify, the 3PL and marketplaces - Enter supplier price lists and purchase orders - Run bulk price, tag and collection updates for promotions - Maintain wholesale line sheets and B2B price lists - Import supplier catalogs and clean them to your conventions - Run the Friday listing audit and fix errors found ## The KPI that matters here Listing errors found per 100 product pages in the weekly audit, with records processed per day beside it. Fewer errors means fewer refunds and fewer support tickets. ## What rules does data entry follow for e-commerce? 1. **PCI DSS and payment data.** Assistants never see or take full card numbers. Refunds, partial refunds and replacements are processed inside Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce or your payment provider's dashboard, and customers who offer card details by phone or chat are redirected to checkout. That keeps your PCI DSS scope where it belongs, with your payment processor. 2. **Shipping delays and consumer rights.** The FTC Mail, Internet or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule requires shipment within the stated time or 30 days, with a delay notice and the option to cancel for a refund. UK customers have 14-day cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and Australian customers have consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law enforced by the ACCC. Assistants send the notices and honor the rights. 3. **Amazon and marketplace policies.** Buyer-Seller Messaging rules require a response within 24 hours and forbid marketing or review requests that offer anything in return. Order Defect Rate, late shipment and cancellation metrics decide account health. Assistants answer inside the window, handle A-to-z claims with evidence and follow Etsy and eBay messaging rules the same way. 4. **Marketing consent: CAN-SPAM, TCPA, CASL, PECR.** Email campaigns carry identification and an unsubscribe link under CAN-SPAM; SMS through Attentive or Postscript needs prior express written consent under the TCPA; Canadian subscribers need CASL express consent and UK subscribers PECR consent. Assistants process opt-outs the same day and never add contacts without a consent record. Reviews and UGC follow FTC endorsement rules. ## E-commerce software we work in - [Shopify](https://assistbpo.com/software/shopify/) - [Amazon Seller Central](https://assistbpo.com/software/amazon-seller-central/) - [Gorgias](https://assistbpo.com/software/gorgias/) - [Zendesk](https://assistbpo.com/software/zendesk/) - [Klaviyo](https://assistbpo.com/software/klaviyo/) - [WooCommerce](https://assistbpo.com/software/woocommerce/) - [Etsy](https://assistbpo.com/software/etsy/) Also in use - ShipStation [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for e-commerce brands Other services for e-commerce - [Appointment setting](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/appointment-setting/) - [CRM management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/crm-management/) - [Social media assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/social-media-virtual-assistant/) - [After-hours answering](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/after-hours-answering/) - [Client intake](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/client-intake/) - [Virtual assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/virtual-assistant/) - [The e-commerce pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/) Data entry in other industries - [SaaS & startups](https://assistbpo.com/industries/saas-startups/data-entry/) - [IT & MSPs](https://assistbpo.com/industries/it-msp/data-entry/) - [Marketing agencies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/marketing-agencies/data-entry/) - [Education & tutoring](https://assistbpo.com/industries/education/data-entry/) - [The full data entry page](https://assistbpo.com/services/data-entry/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Can the specialist write product descriptions? The specialist builds listings from copy, images and specifications you supply, and can adapt existing copy to a new variant or channel format, such as trimming a Shopify description to Amazon bullet points. Original product copywriting and photography are a different desk. If you want both, a content assistant writes and the data entry specialist publishes, and the two share the same listing conventions. ### How do you handle Amazon flat files and listing errors? The specialist prepares category flat files from your master catalog, validates them against Amazon's template, uploads through Seller Central and works the processing report until every error is cleared. Suppressed and stranded listings are checked daily and fixed, and variation families are rebuilt when Amazon breaks them. Changes are logged so you know what was altered and when. ### How often do you reconcile inventory? Daily for brands on multiple channels, against the 3PL or warehouse export, with mismatches corrected in the store and marketplace and a short note on the cause. Weekly for single-channel brands with in-house fulfillment. Before every promotion, the specialist checks stock on every promoted SKU so the campaign does not sell items you do not have. Low-stock lists go to you with sell-through so reorders are timely. Next step ## Your desk, staffed. Wherever you are. Tell us what is overloaded.
