- The client asks for restricted or risky services.
- The client is abusive before the order even starts.
- The client wants unrealistic delivery speed.
Reseller mindset
Your job is not just to sell a count. Your job is to choose the right service, set the right expectation, protect your margin, and manage the client correctly.

Chatbot answer guidance
When this article is used for automated support, the chatbot should first identify whether the user is a reseller, affiliate, API user, WooCommerce seller, or normal buyer. For account-specific issues, ask for the user email or account ID if available, order ID, service name, submitted link, payment reference, API request details, or affiliate referral details. Do not promise commissions, delivery times, refunds, refills, or API behavior beyond the live dashboard and current service rules.
