Open any question for a direct answer. Search also checks answer text and supporting keywords.
Account & access
Registration, sign-in, account roles, recovery, and security.
KnowledgeDo I need an account before buying?+
You can browse public catalog and Help Center pages without signing in. An account is needed when checkout, saved addresses, order records, protected chat, complaints, reviews, or account tools require an identified buyer.
KnowledgeCan one email be both buyer and approved seller?+
An approved seller account may also access buyer pages, but Buyer Account and Seller Console remain separate interfaces. Seller permissions still require invitation and approval.
KnowledgeWhy did registration or sign-in fail?+
Check the email, password, intended role, browser session, and visible error. Public buyer registration does not create seller access.
KnowledgeWhy did a password-reset email not arrive?+
Confirm the account email, check spam and filtered folders, wait for mail delivery, then request one fresh reset. Never share reset links or codes.
KnowledgeHow do I change my account email?+
Use Account Details when available. A sensitive email change may require confirmation through the existing or new address before it becomes active.
KnowledgeWhat should I do after suspicious account access?+
Change the password, review account details and addresses, preserve visible evidence, and contact support without sending the password, reset code, or payment credential.
KnowledgeWhich buyer details can a seller see?+
A seller receives only marketplace and fulfillment context needed for the order. Buyer email remains protected, and recipient phone use is limited to legitimate delivery operations when exposed.
Discovery & evaluation
Search, categories, products, sellers, articles, variations, stock, and product evidence.
KnowledgeWhat can Indovia search find?+
Global search is designed to find public products, categories, seller stores, and editorial articles. Results depend on publication status, indexing, visibility, and matching words.
KnowledgeWhy is new content not visible in search immediately?+
The product, category, seller, or article must be public and valid. A short index or cache delay may occur; drafts, suspended stores, private content, and invalid routes must not appear.
KnowledgeHow do categories and subcategories work?+
Categories group products by primary commercial purpose. Subcategories narrow discovery. A product should use the most specific valid category rather than unrelated categories.
KnowledgeHow do I find products from one seller?+
Open a seller card or public store page, then browse that store catalog. Search can also match an active public seller name.
KnowledgeWhat does product origin mean?+
Origin describes where a product, material, or production process is associated. It does not by itself guarantee certification, customs treatment, species, grade, or complete traceability.
KnowledgeHow should I compare product evidence?+
Compare title, description, material, origin, process, variation, stock, weight, dimensions, photos, seller identity, reviews, and policies. Pause checkout when important details conflict.
KnowledgeWhy can a variation change price or stock?+
Each variation can represent a different size, material, pack, color, specification, price, or inventory quantity. Confirm the selected option before adding it to cart.
KnowledgeHow should ratings, reviews, and sales context be interpreted?+
Use them as supporting evidence, not a guarantee. Sales metrics must reflect valid completed marketplace records and cannot prove suitability for an unstated purpose.
KnowledgeWhy can a product or seller page become unavailable?+
A listing or store may be drafted, sold out, suspended, removed, corrected, noindexed, or made unavailable after policy, verification, inventory, or risk review.
Pricing & payment
USD buyer pricing, cart totals, PayPal, payment confirmation, and refunds.
KnowledgeWhy are buyer prices shown in USD?+
Indovia presents buyer-facing product, cart, checkout, and order totals in USD. Seller-side price entry and finance remain in IDR.
KnowledgeCan buyers see the seller-entered IDR price?+
No. Seller operational pricing is seller-side data. Buyers receive the authorized USD marketplace presentation.
KnowledgeWhy did price change after selecting a variation?+
A variation can have a different seller price, pack size, material, or configuration. Buyer price refreshes from the selected variation under the current pricing rule.
KnowledgeWhat is included in cart total?+
Cart total can include selected products, quantities, discounts, shipping returned for the destination, and applicable adjustments shown before payment.
KnowledgeWhich payment method is supported?+
The current authorized buyer checkout route is PayPal. Eligible cards may appear through PayPal when PayPal offers that option.
KnowledgeCan I pay a seller directly?+
No. Off-platform payment is unsupported and can remove marketplace records and protection. Pay only through authorized Indovia checkout.
KnowledgeHow do I know payment succeeded?+
Treat payment as successful when PayPal completion and the Indovia order record align. Keep the order number and do not rely only on a private message or browser screen.
KnowledgeShould I pay twice if status looks delayed?+
No. Reopen the order, confirm PayPal status, allow the marketplace record to refresh, then contact support with order number and timestamp.
KnowledgeWhat happens when payment fails or is cancelled?+
An unpaid order can remain pending, fail, or be cancelled according to the recorded state. Do not treat it as paid until the marketplace confirms payment.
KnowledgeHow is an approved refund returned?+
Refund handling follows the original authorized transaction route and recorded resolution. A complaint does not guarantee a refund.
Shipping & customs
Address readiness, postcodes, courier availability, estimates, delivery, duty, and customs.
KnowledgeWhy is a postcode required?+
Postcode helps determine service eligibility, routing, and provider response. An incomplete or invalid postcode can hide a service or produce an unreliable estimate.
KnowledgeWhich international services may appear?+
The active service set can include POS EMS, POS EKSPOR, and DHL. Availability depends on origin, destination, postcode, parcel data, and provider response.
KnowledgeWhy is DHL unavailable for an address?+
DHL appears only when destination details are valid and the integration returns an eligible service. City, state, postcode, parcel, or destination restrictions can prevent it.
KnowledgeIs a shipping estimate final?+
No. Product-page estimates support planning. Confirm the final service and amount again at checkout after the complete address and cart are known.
KnowledgeWhy did shipping change after an address correction?+
Changing country, state, city, street, or postcode can change service eligibility and provider pricing. Recheck checkout after every correction.
KnowledgeHow do weight and dimensions affect shipping?+
Carrier calculations can use actual weight, dimensions, volumetric weight, packaging, origin, destination, and service rules.
KnowledgeCan a multi-seller order have separate shipping?+
Yes. Products can originate from different sellers and locations, so shipping can be grouped or calculated by seller shipment context.
KnowledgeWho handles import duty and customs?+
The destination may assess duty, tax, inspection, or documentation requirements. Indovia does not guarantee customs clearance or a duty-free result.
KnowledgeWhat if no carrier serves my address?+
Verify every address field and postcode. If no valid service remains, do not use a false address; contact support with destination details and product URL.
KnowledgeWhy has tracking not received a first scan?+
A shipment record can appear before the courier first scan. Confirm shipment date and courier, allow reasonable handover time, then escalate with order and tracking number.
Orders & tracking
Order records, statuses, seller groups, tracking, receipt confirmation, and delivery evidence.
KnowledgeWhen is an order considered paid?+
A real paid order requires a confirmed marketplace payment record. A cart, checkout attempt, pending PayPal screen, export order, or private promise is not a completed sale.
KnowledgeWhere can I find my order number?+
Open Buyer Account and My Orders, then select the order. Use that number in payment, shipping, complaint, or support communication.
KnowledgeWhy can one checkout show separate seller activity?+
A parent checkout can aggregate items while each seller shipment and operation remains separated for fulfillment, tracking, complaints, and finance.
KnowledgeWhat do order statuses mean?+
Statuses describe recorded payment, processing, shipment, delivery, complaint, cancellation, or completion state. Read order detail before acting on a label alone.
KnowledgeCan I cancel an unpaid order?+
An unpaid order can generally be left unpaid or cancelled through the supported path when available. Check existing records before creating repeated orders.
KnowledgeCan a paid order be cancelled automatically?+
Paid cancellation requires the supported order or resolution process. A request does not guarantee cancellation after processing or shipment starts.
KnowledgeWhat should I do when tracking stops moving?+
Confirm courier, tracking number, shipment date, and last event. Allow the carrier window, then contact support if the delay becomes unreasonable.
KnowledgeWhat if a package is marked delivered but missing?+
Check the delivery location and receiving staff, preserve the carrier event, avoid confirming receipt, and open the supported issue path promptly.
KnowledgeWhen should I confirm receipt?+
Confirm only after the parcel and selected variation arrive in acceptable condition. Do not confirm when a serious shortage, damage, mismatch, or delivery issue exists.
KnowledgeWhat evidence should I preserve after delivery?+
Keep parcel labels, packaging, seals, product condition, quantity, variation, and any opening evidence until satisfied or the case is resolved.
Communication & safety
Protected chat, direct-contact restrictions, product questions, and private information.
KnowledgeWhere should I ask a product question?+
Use the protected product question or marketplace chat route. Keep specifications, availability, packaging, and order-sensitive conversation inside Indovia.
KnowledgeWhy are phone, WhatsApp, email, and private payment details restricted?+
Direct contact can move payment, negotiation, evidence, or complaints outside the marketplace record and increase fraud and privacy risk.
KnowledgeWhat can I safely share in chat?+
Share product and order context needed for the task. Do not share passwords, payment credentials, API keys, private identity documents, or off-platform payment instructions.
KnowledgeWhen should I use chat instead of support?+
Use chat for ordinary clarification. Use a support ticket or complaint for account errors, formal evidence, delivery problems, damage, shortage, mismatch, or unresolved action.
Returns & resolution
Complaints, evidence, returns, review, possible outcomes, and escalation.
KnowledgeWhen should I open a complaint?+
Open a complaint when a supported order has a serious delivery, damage, shortage, mismatch, seller, or resolution issue requiring marketplace review.
KnowledgeWhat evidence helps a damaged-item case?+
Provide order number, parcel label, outer and inner packaging, damage from multiple angles, received quantity, and a clear timeline.
KnowledgeWhat evidence helps a wrong or missing-item case?+
Show the label, complete parcel contents, selected variation, received item or quantity, and any available opening record.
KnowledgeShould I discard packaging before resolution?+
No. Packaging and labels can be material evidence for carrier, seller, and marketplace review.
KnowledgeDoes opening a complaint guarantee a refund?+
No. A complaint starts review. Outcomes depend on order records, evidence, policy, seller response, carrier context, item condition, and applicable rights.
KnowledgeWhat outcomes can a case have?+
Outcomes can include explanation, more evidence, correction, replacement discussion, authorized return, partial or full refund review, cancellation, account action, or closure without monetary remedy.
KnowledgeWho pays return shipping?+
Return shipping depends on authorization, reason, evidence, policy, destination, and case decision. Do not return an item without supported instructions.
KnowledgeHow should an urgent support request be written?+
State the issue, order number, affected action, exact error or status, timestamp, and evidence. Avoid duplicate tickets and never include credentials.
Reviews & account tools
Wishlist, reviews, notifications, addresses, support tickets, and account records.
KnowledgeWhen can I review a product or store?+
Review availability follows the completed order journey. Write a factual experience connected to the purchased product or store interaction.
KnowledgeWhy can a review be moderated?+
Reviews may be reviewed for direct contact, private information, unrelated content, manipulation, threats, spam, or unsafe claims.
KnowledgeHow does wishlist work?+
Wishlist saves products for later comparison. It does not reserve stock, price, variation, shipping, or seller availability.
KnowledgeWhere are notifications shown?+
Buyer Account can show order, communication, support, or marketplace notifications. Open the underlying record before acting.
KnowledgeWhere do I manage addresses?+
Use Buyer Account Addresses. Recheck country, state, city, street, and postcode before checkout because address changes can affect shipping.
KnowledgeWhere can I view support tickets?+
Use Buyer Account Support Tickets or the order-specific complaint path. Keep one clear ticket per issue where practical.
