Selling in Switzerland: Practical Tips for Product Data and Order Handling

A concise guide: how to add new products clearly, manage prices and inventory, improve product pages and handle orders reliably when selling in Switzerland.

Published 27 August 2026Neutral editorial guide

Record product data clearly

Begin with clear facts. Enter product name, a short description, technical details, material and exact dimensions in dedicated fields. Swiss customers often look for sizes, materials and compatibility. Avoid internal codes in public fields. Include an article number and EAN/GTIN where available. Note country of origin and important certificates, such as safety or energy labels. Provide measurements in centimetres and weight in kilograms or grams. Structured entries make future updates and integrations with marketplaces or inventory systems easier.

  • Clear product names without abbreviations
  • Technical specs in separate fields
  • Include EAN/GTIN and article number
  • State origin and certificates

Maintain prices and stock sensibly: Price and availability drive buying decisions. Set gross prices including VAT information and note whether shipping is charged separately. Keep stock levels current to avoid overselling. Set low-stock alerts and review seasonal patterns. If you sell on multiple channels, synchronise inventory centrally or use a simple connector. Communicate delivery times clearly to reduce enquiries. Where possible, state expected restock dates instead of a generic "out of stock".

  • Show gross price with VAT
  • Declare shipping costs and delivery time
  • Synchronise stock across channels
  • Use low-stock alerts and restock dates

Improve images and descriptions: Good images and short clear texts speed up decisions. Provide several photos: front, back, details and a size reference. Use neutral backgrounds and adequate resolution. Add captions that note key facts like material or dimensions. Keep descriptions focused on main benefits and typical use cases. Avoid marketing buzzwords and stick to clear facts. Add care instructions or warnings when needed. Clear visuals and factual text reduce returns and customer questions.

  • Multiple photos: overall, detail, size reference
  • Neutral backgrounds and good resolution
  • Short benefit-oriented descriptions
  • Care instructions and warnings if necessary

Orders and customer communication: What happens after purchase shapes satisfaction. Send an immediate confirmation with all key details: items, quantity, price, delivery address and estimated delivery time. Keep customers informed about shipping and any delays. Set clear return and complaint policies and make them visible on product pages and in order confirmations. Use standard courteous wording and automated status emails. If you work with external logistics providers, align processes and interfaces so tracking and delivery information is passed reliably to customers.

  • Immediate order confirmation with details
  • Automated shipping and status updates
  • Clear return and complaint rules
  • Coordinate with logistics partners for tracking

Build trust: Trust increases conversions. Provide contact details: address, phone and a simple contact form. State payment options clearly and set realistic delivery expectations. Customers value accessible terms and privacy information, and clear notes on warranty or statutory rights where applicable. Honest reviews and verified seller markers help, but must be accurate. Professional images and complete product data signal reliability. Smaller sellers can add local touches such as local pickup or service areas to give buyers extra confidence.

  • Visible contact information
  • Clear payment and delivery terms
  • Terms, privacy and warranty information
  • Genuine reviews and local service options

Discover and shop

Shop for products simply and safely online

At OpenDeal, you can find products for many everyday needs and review the key information in one place. Clear images, visible prices and concise details help you compare an offer before you make a decision. Open the product details when you want more information about condition, stock, delivery or pickup. Compare suitable offers with your needs and budget, then review your cart before you complete the purchase.

Everything clear at a glance

Each product page brings together the price, condition, availability and other useful details for your decision. Read the details carefully and check which parts, options or services are included with the offer. Compare similar products with your needs, budget and the way you expect to use them. This makes it easier to choose an offer that is suitable for you.

Images help you choose

Review the product images carefully and look at the shape, colour, surface and other visible details. Several views can make the size, condition and important features easier to understand before you decide. Then read the description and check whether the written details match what you can see. This gives you a clearer picture of the product before purchase.

Your favourite in the cart

If you like a product, add it to your cart and review the price and quantity there. You can change the quantity, remove an item or continue shopping before you move to checkout. Before the next step, check the selected variant, condition and the available shipping or pickup method. Continue to checkout only when the full selection is correct for you.

Buying is this easy

Choose a product, review the information and add the item to your cart when it suits you. At checkout, enter the required details and review the full order before you confirm anything. Check the price, quantity, address and the available shipping or pickup option one final time. Confirm the purchase only when the details and total cost are correct.

Shipping or pickup

Each offer explains how the product will reach you and which conditions apply to the handover. Many products can be shipped, while other offers may be available for pickup at a stated location. Before you buy, review the location, possible costs and any important notes from the seller. This helps you choose the option that works best for your schedule and location.

Shop with confidence

OpenDeal presents offers clearly so that you can compare products and understand the key information before buying. Fixed prices support your planning, while images and concise descriptions make different products easier to assess. Take enough time and complete the purchase only when the offer matches your expectations. This keeps the process clear from the first search through to the final order.

Browse at your own pace and discover useful products for daily life, your home or a suitable gift. Open the offers that interest you and review the price, condition, stock and handover information. Before you buy, check the important details once more and give yourself enough time to decide. This helps you make a careful choice and understand what happens next.
