Filters in chats with customers #

Filter your chats with customers for easy navigation:

  • Need your reply: unread and read chats for the previous 30 days where a customer is awaiting your response;
  • Need buyer’s reply: chats for the previous 30 days where a customer didn’t respond;
  • By order: chats for the previous 30 days where a customer sends messages from the Orders section in his personal account. These can be questions about delivery, returns, or comments on the ordered product;
  • By product: chats for the previous 30 days which the customer started from your product description page.

To filter the chats, select filters in the Messages → Customers section.

You can apply several filters at once. For example, if you select the By order and Need buyer’s reply filters, you will see chats on orders with your response and without customer response yet.

You can’t combine the following filters:

  • Need your reply and Need buyer’s reply;
  • By order and By product;
  • Unread and Need buyer’s reply;
  • All and Unread.

Secure yourself when chatting #

In order not to become a victim of scammers when chatting, follow these rules:

  • Pay attention to the Customer and Support labels: they are always displayed in chats. For example, if you see a chat on behalf of “Ozon support”, but with the Customer label—it’s scammers.
  • Chat only in the Ozon chat and don’t use other messengers, even if the interlocutor’s messages sound very convincing, and the nickname in the messenger is consonant with the Ozon support. We always contact sellers only via chat in the personal account and in the Ozon Seller app.
  • Don’t follow links to unfamiliar websites, and if you have, don’t fill out or upload anything.
  • Don’t share your personal data if the interlocutor has the Customer label. Only Ozon support can request it.
  • Don’t tell the password from your personal account. If you log in via Ozon ID, don’t forward the confirmation code.
  • Don’t add third-party accounts to your company profile.

What to do if you encounter scammers #

In the chat with the customer, click → Confirm if you:

  • transferred the data from the personal account to the scammers;
  • added a third-party account to the company profile;
  • provided personal data.

Also send a complaint if the customer:

  • masquerades as support;
  • requests personal data;
  • tries to get access to your personal account.
