Step 4. Collect your customer feedback make sure you have a way for your customers to reach out and give you some feedback. A lot of them will just leave and never come back if they don’t find a way to tell you what is good and what is not. Listen to them make the corrections needed and if you can reach out make sure you reach out and thank them for the feedback

Step 5. Allow people to leave reviews on your website. Collect and display all the reviews from your customers, negative or positive. People would like to read how good your service is or how bad it could be. They will notice that you’re authentic and they will appreciate if you’re responding to negative feedback providing a proper solution

Number 6. Make the payment transparent you wouldn’t give your credit card to just a random person in the street. Make it easy for the people to find out how are they paying how are the payments are being processed. If you cannot do that yourself there are a lot of micro services you can purchase for your e-commerce site

Step 7. Make sure you have a clear refund policy or a money-back guarantee most customers want to know what’s going to happen with their money in case if there’s a problem with their purchasing, if they’re not happy with your product or with your service.

Anything you can to respond to people questions and try to answer the best way for them to come back to you.

Number 9. Be honest, if you have no answers for what people are asking to be honest and tell them that you will come back with it with an answer they want to see that you’re a real person behind they want to trust a person as much as they want to trust a brand, so be honest show yourself as you are and people will get to trust you faster.
