An online store works for you around the clock \u2014 taking orders, processing payments, and providing customers with the information they need, whether it is two in the afternoon or two in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Getting started is more straightforward than most people expect. You do not need a large product catalogue to begin. Even a handful of products or services can benefit enormously from a well-built online store.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Build Online Stores<\/h2>\n<h3>WooCommerce on WordPress \u2014 our primary platform<\/h3>\n<p>For most small to medium-sized businesses, we build ecommerce stores using WooCommerce on WordPress, hosted on our own managed servers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"w9-callout-box\">\n  <strong>What is WooCommerce?<\/strong><br \/>\n  WooCommerce is a plugin that turns a WordPress website into a fully functional online store. It handles everything from product listings and inventory to checkout and order management \u2014 and it integrates seamlessly with the WordPress sites we already build.\n<\/div>\n<p>This approach gives you a professional, fully custom online store at a fraction of the cost of enterprise ecommerce platforms \u2014 and because it sits on the same managed hosting as your website, everything is looked after in one place by one team.<\/p>\n<h3>What Your Store Can Include<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Physical and digital products<\/li>\n<li>Shipping integrations \u2014 Canada Post, FedEx, UPS and others<\/li>\n<li>Payment processing via Stripe, PayPal, Square and others<\/li>\n<li>Accounting software connections<\/li>\n<li>Discount codes, gift cards, and promotions<\/li>\n<li>Inventory management<\/li>\n<li>Customer accounts and order history<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Shopify \u2014 for higher volume operations<\/h3>\n<p>For businesses doing significant sales volume with a large and active customer base, we recommend Shopify \u2014 a fully hosted ecommerce platform designed to handle high-traffic, high-transaction stores. Rather than running on our servers, Shopify manages all the infrastructure on your behalf.<\/p>\n<p>We will always point you toward the platform that suits your situation best. If your business is at the scale where Shopify makes more sense, we will tell you \u2014 and we can help you get set up on it.<\/p>\n<h2>Is This Right for You?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are a small or medium-sized business looking to sell products or services online, a WooCommerce store on our managed hosting is likely the most practical and economical solution available to you. It is professionally built, fully custom, and backed by a team that will be there when you need them.<\/p>\n<p>Get in touch \u2014 a short conversation is usually enough to figure out the right approach for your business.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":18,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-56","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/56","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/56\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":285,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/56\/revisions\/285"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
