Magellan Solutions' eCommerce virtual assistant is one dedicated, trained person who works only for your business, handling the admin behind the store in your platforms and your way, so your team can focus on buying, marketing and growth.

The Store Work That Never Gets Done

Every online store has a list that grows faster than it shrinks: new products waiting to go live, listings with the wrong price or an old photo, supplier emails nobody has answered, orders stuck on an address problem, and a weekly report nobody has time to pull. None of it is hard, but all of it takes hours, and it usually lands on the founder or the one person who also runs marketing. Hiring locally for that kind of mixed admin is expensive, and part-time help rarely learns the business well enough to work without supervision. An eCommerce virtual assistant takes the list off your desk: one person who learns your store, your products and your tools, and works through it every day.

Unlock Outsourcing Potential

What Falls Behind When Nobody Owns the Admin

The cost of admin that slips doesn't show up all at once. A listing goes live with the wrong size chart and starts collecting returns. A supplier delay nobody chased leaves a best-seller out of stock for a week. An order with a payment flag sits until the customer gives up. Your marketplace account picks up a late-response warning. A dedicated assistant keeps these from piling up by owning the routine work and bringing you only the decisions that need you.

What Your eCommerce Virtual Assistant Handles

Through our Dedicated Seat model, you get one professional who works only on your store, learns your products, suppliers and systems, and handles the work you shouldn't be doing yourself.

Product Listings & Catalog Updates

New products listed with titles, descriptions, images and variants; prices, stock counts and promotions updated across your store and marketplaces as you approve them.

Order & Inbox Management

Order exceptions sorted out, such as address problems, payment flags and split shipments, plus your shared inbox kept tidy and the questions that need you flagged first.

Supplier & Marketplace Coordination

Purchase orders and delivery dates chased with suppliers and your 3PL, and marketplace messages, listings and account notices kept on top of.

Store Admin & Reporting

Daily and weekly sales, stock and returns reports, spreadsheet upkeep, review monitoring and the small admin jobs that keep the store running.
A virtual assistant is one dedicated person for the work behind the store. To cover your customers by phone, email and helpdesk around the clock, see our eCommerce customer service outsourcing, and for chat on your store, live chat for eCommerce. For bulk catalog uploads handled by a managed team, see eCommerce data entry.

Works Inside the Systems You Already Use

Your assistant works as an authorized user in the tools you already run your store on. You don't adopt new software or hand over your data: everything stays in your accounts, under your permissions, and you can see every change your assistant makes.

Store Platform

Products, orders and promotions updated in Shopify or your store admin

Marketplace Accounts

Listings and messages kept current in Amazon Seller Central and eBay

Inbox & Helpdesk

Your shared inbox, Gorgias or Zendesk kept tidy, with what needs you flagged

Spreadsheets & Reports

Stock sheets, supplier trackers and weekly reports kept up to date

Lower Cost Than a Local Hire

Philippine delivery typically runs 40–60% below the cost of an onshore assistant once salary, benefits, recruitment and training are counted.

One Person Who Knows Your Store

Your assistant works only for you, so they learn your products, suppliers and way of doing things, and need less direction every month.

Your Hours, Your Tools

Schedule your assistant to your business hours or an extended shift, working in the platforms and accounts you already use.

Room to Grow

Start with one assistant, then add customer service, live chat or data entry support as the store grows, with one partner and one set of rules.

Compliance and Data Security, Built In

Your assistant works inside your store admin, marketplace accounts and supplier records, so security matters. Magellan Solutions operates under certified security standards, role-based access and enforceable confidentiality agreements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an eCommerce virtual assistant do?
An eCommerce virtual assistant handles the admin behind your store: listing new products and updating prices and stock, sorting out order exceptions, keeping your shared inbox tidy, chasing suppliers and your 3PL, keeping marketplace accounts current, and pulling sales, stock and returns reports. They work in your platforms and follow your instructions.
How does the Dedicated Seat model work?
You get one specific professional who works only for your business. Because they don't split their time across other clients, they learn your products, suppliers, tools and preferences, and need less direction as time goes on.
What's the difference between a virtual assistant and outsourced customer service?
A virtual assistant is one dedicated person for the work behind the store. eCommerce customer service outsourcing is a shared, trained team that answers your customers by phone, email and helpdesk ticket, 24/7, and scales up for your peak. Choose the assistant for capacity on admin, and customer service for coverage. Many stores use both.
Should I hire a virtual assistant or outsource my product data entry?
Hire a virtual assistant if you want one person handling a mix of jobs, including some listings. Choose eCommerce data entry if you have a large catalog to upload or clean up, which a managed team can handle by volume.
Which platforms can my virtual assistant work in?
Your assistant works in Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, eBay, Gorgias and Zendesk, plus your email, spreadsheets and team messaging tools. They work as a user in your accounts, so your data stays in your systems.
Can my virtual assistant work during my business hours?
Yes. Your assistant is scheduled to your business hours or an extended shift, so they're working when your team is and can pick up requests in real time.
Does a virtual assistant handle fulfillment or shipping?
No. Your assistant doesn't store, pack or ship products, and doesn't manage your warehouse. They keep your listing and stock records current and follow up with your suppliers and 3PL, so the physical side stays with your warehouse or fulfillment partner.
