Q: If the store operates multiple categories, which category of indicators will be used for the final assessment?
Answer: During the merchant assessment period, Tmall will conduct assessments based on the main store category of the merchant on the day the assessment period ends.
For example: The store also operates three categories: women's clothing/women's boutique, women's shoes, children's clothing/parent-child clothing. If the main category on the day of the assessment period ends, women's clothing/women's boutique, the assessment will be carried out based on the assessment indicators of women's clothing/women's boutique categories.

Note:

The main category refers to the category with the first category's main business rate among merchant stores.
Category main business rate = (the transaction volume of the category in the past 28 days/the transaction volume of the store in the past 28 days) * 50% + (the number of online products on the category on the day/the number of online products on the store on the day) * 50%.

Q: What are the calculation dimensions of store sales and DSR?

answer:

1. Store sales refer to the sum of all orders whose transaction status is "successful" during the validity period of the agreement (except for false transaction orders and other illegal orders). This amount does not include freight, nor does it include the amount of failed transactions caused by rights protection, after-sales service, etc., and the amount of transactions under the first-level category name "Other".

2. Store Rating (DSR), this time the store dynamic score of the three data "description consistent, service attitude, and logistics services" in the past 180 days; for example: "The cumulative number of days with the mean DSR less than 4.7 is ≤127 days" means that the total number of days with the dynamic score of the store less than 4.7 during the assessment period is less than or equal to 127 days.

Q: What are the comprehensive after-sales service indicators?

Answer: The comprehensive after-sales service indicator is a comprehensive evaluation data including three indicators: dispute refund rate, refund completion time, and refund autonomous completion rate. The value range is in the past 28 days, and the impact of the three data on the comprehensive indicator is about 3:2:1. The comprehensive indicator shows the comparison with peers in the form of ranking proportion.
1. The specific calculation logic of the three indicators is as follows:
Dispute refund rate: in the past 28 days, (in sale + after-sales) number of refunds that are determined to be the seller's responsibility and are effective/number of transactions of Alipay; (except for shopping pickup coupons>food pickup coupons>hairy crab coupons)
time for refund completion: in the past 28 days, total time for refund completion (in sale + after-sales) / total number of refund completion;
self-completion rate of refund: in the past 28 days, the number of refunds completed by merchants (in sale + after-sales) number of refunds completed by shops;
