Practical guide

Respond to a request for a product you do not sell

Respond to a request for a product you do not sell: a practical process, a clearly illustrated example and checks to use before the next live session.

A practical process

  1. State clearly that the requested item is outside the current product range.
  2. Ask about the underlying task only if you have a genuinely relevant alternative.
  3. Avoid implying that a different product is equivalent without checking its actual capabilities.

Worked example

If the shop sells cable pouches and a viewer wants a powered charging hub, explain the distinction. A pouch can organise accessories but cannot replace a charger. A useful alternative must address the buyer's task, not merely share a similar keyword.

Before the next session

Use the current Aseacast product overview to check which parts of this workflow fit your setup.
