Tester Applications
The journey of a successful campaign begins with selecting the right testers. This crucial first step sets the tone for your entire campaign. By carefully evaluating each application, you can build a team of testers who are best suited to provide insightful feedback on your product.
Creating Campaigns that are attractive is the key. Consider offering products from various categories to appeal to a wide range of expert testers.

Setting the right discount is a balancing act. You need to attract testers while managing your campaign costs. Consider factors such as product value, market competition, and your budget.
Testers will discover your campaign on their Lutendo account. Those interested will apply to participate in your campaign.
When reviewing applications, carefully evaluate each tester’s profile and history. Consider their expertise, past performance, and relevance to your product. Make informed decisions on approvals or rejections.
Communicating with Product Testers
Clear, comprehensive communication is the foundation of a well-executed campaign. By providing testers with detailed instructions and setting clear expectations, you pave the way for high-quality feedback and minimize potential misunderstandings.
Once you approve a tester’s application, a new phase of interaction begins. This stage is crucial for setting clear expectations and providing necessary information to ensure a smooth campaign process.
Upon approval, the ‘Note to Product Testers‘ you prepared during campaign creation is automatically sent to the tester. This initial communication sets the tone for your interaction.
You’ll have the ability to communicate directly with the product tester through Lutendo’s chat feature. This allows for ongoing communication throughout the campaign.

There are strategies you can employ to increase your product’s visibility on the e-commerce platform. For example, you can create a Super URL of search results to guide the product tester in finding and purchasing your product.
Remember, clear and detailed communication at this stage can significantly impact the success of your campaign. Provide all necessary information and be ready to answer any questions the tester might have.
Handling Purchase Confirmations
When product testers purchase your item, they’ll notify you through Lutendo with the Order ID from the specified marketplace. This system allows you to match each purchase with the corresponding tester application.
This confirmation is a crucial checkpoint in your campaign process. It signals that the tester has initiated their part of the agreement and is ready to begin evaluating your product.
For sales campaigns, it’s important to note that testers are not obligated to write reviews. Their campaign obligation is fulfilled simply by making the purchase. However, some may choose to leave a review voluntarily.
Regardless of whether a review is posted, you’re required to process the refund for sales campaigns once the purchase is confirmed. This maintains the integrity of the campaign process and ensures a positive experience for the tester.

By efficiently managing purchase confirmations and subsequent refunds, you keep your campaign on track and maintain positive relationships with testers. This attention to detail contributes to your reputation as a reliable seller on the Lutendo platform.
Managing the Testing Phase
The testing phase is where the rubber meets the road. While it’s important to step back and allow testers to form unbiased opinions, being available for support when needed is crucial for a smooth testing process.
- Minimal Interference:
- Allow testers to form their own opinions about your product
- Avoid influencing their testing process or feedback
- Addressing Issues:
- Be prepared to assist if testers encounter problems with the product
- Provide troubleshooting support if necessary, but don’t guide their overall experience
Completing the Refund Process
The refund process is a critical step in your Lutendo campaign, but it’s important to understand that it works differently for sales campaigns and review campaigns.
For sales campaigns, you process the refund once the tester confirms their purchase. This is regardless of whether they choose to leave a review or not.
In contrast, for review campaigns, you are obliged to conduct the refund only after the tester has completed their campaign obligation – which includes leaving a review. This ensures that both parties fulfill their part of the agreement.
Regardless of the campaign type, always process refunds promptly once the conditions are met. This maintains trust and positive relationships with testers.
When processing a refund:
- Verify that all campaign conditions have been met
- Use the agreed-upon refund method (e.g., PayPal)
- Record the refund in your Lutendo dashboard

Rating Testers
Rating testers is a crucial part of maintaining the quality and integrity of the Lutendo community. Your thoughtful evaluations help identify top performers and ensure a high standard for future campaigns.
When to Rate: You’ll be prompted to rate a tester when you’re processing their refund in your Lutendo dashboard. This ensures that you’re ratingĀ the testersĀ based on the full campaign experience.
Rating Scale: Lutendo uses a 1-5 star rating system. Here’s a general guideline:
1 Star: Poor performance, did not meet campaign requirements
2 Stars: Below average, met some but not all requirements
3 Stars: Average, met basic requirements
4 Stars: Above average, exceeded some expectations
5 Stars: Excellent, exceeded all expectations
Factors to Consider: When rating a tester, consider the following:
- Timeliness in purchasing and reviewing (if applicable)
- Quality and depth of feedback provided
- Communication throughout the campaign
- Adherence to campaign guidelines
- Overall professionalism
Providing Written Feedback: In addition to the star rating, you have the option to leave written comments. This is highly encouraged as it provides context for your rating and valuable feedback for the tester.
Be specific in your comments. For example: “Tester provided in-depth, well-written review within the agreed timeframe. Communication was prompt and professional.“
Maintaining Objectivity: It’s crucial to base your rating on the tester’s performance, not on whether their review was positive or negative. An honest, well-written negative review can still deserve a high rating if it provides valuable insights.
Impact of Ratings: Your ratings contribute to a tester’s overall score on Lutendo. This score helps other sellers identify reliable testers and allows Lutendo to maintain a high-quality tester pool.
Continuous Improvement: Use the rating process as an opportunity to reflect on your campaign. If multiple testers underperform, consider whether your instructions or expectations need clarification in future campaigns.
