Ecommerce website development questions, answered
How do I start selling products or services online?
With an online store: a website where customers browse your products, add them to a cart and pay you online, at any time and from anywhere. Unlike selling only through social media, the store takes payment on its own: the customer chooses, pays and you receive the order ready to ship.
Yours includes a catalogue, cart, built-in payments, shipping options and a dashboard to manage it all. We build the whole thing and hand it over working.
How much does it cost to create an e-commerce website?
With us, $49.99 a month on the Ecommerce plan, with the complete store included: hosting, SSL certificate, unlimited email accounts, cart and your first 30 products uploaded by us. A business website without a store starts at $19.99 a month.
You also get 40 GB of storage and a free .ca domain, billed monthly in Canadian dollars through PayPal with no contract. And you only pay once you've seen the finished store and you're happy with it.
Which platform is best?
The one your customers already use to pay. We integrate Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay at no extra cost, so customers can pay by credit card, debit card or digital wallet and the money goes straight to your account.
If you don't have accounts with these platforms yet, we'll help you open them and test everything with trial transactions before going live. Every payment is recorded alongside its order in the dashboard, so reconciling your sales is easy.
How long does it take to create a website for my business?
Your store is live in 10 business days from when we receive your logo and a product list with names, prices and photos. Our team uploads your first 30 products, with descriptions written and categories organized.
As soon as it's finished we send you a real link so you can see it working, with your products uploaded and test payments, before you decide to pay. After that you can keep adding products yourself from the dashboard, or email us and we'll make the changes for you.
Pay monthly, then own it
Yes. Your domain, your products and your customer data are yours, and there's no contract: if you ever leave, we give you a full copy of your store, database and email. Before launch, if you're not happy with the finished store, you pay nothing.
Before it gets to that point, we adjust the design and content based on your feedback until the store feels like yours.
