Many of our commercial clients consider their online shop one of the most valuable features of their website. It provides a convenient way for customers to browse and buy products at any time, while automating much of the work involved in processing orders and payments.
We use WooCommerce, a well-established, free e-commerce platform for WordPress. It offers excellent value, is widely supported and can be adapted to suit a wide range of businesses. Our experience enables us to get the most out of the software, creating an online store that works for your business and your customers.
An online store can provide the following benefits:
Sell around the clock. Your shop remains open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and public holidays. Customers can place orders whenever it suits them.
Showcase your products. Present your products in an attractive, organised online catalogue. We can customise the standard layout to suit your products, brand and business requirements.
Automate order processing. Receive email notifications containing order details and delivery information, so you can fulfil orders without manually processing each sale.
Accept payments online. Integrate secure online payment services so customers can pay when they place their orders, reducing administration and speeding up the payment process.
Sell digital products. Deliver publications, software and other downloadable products directly to customers. With no physical stock to store or orders to package and ship, digital products can be particularly cost-effective to sell online.
Simple stock and price management. Managing hundreds or thousands of products individually through an online shop can be time-consuming. We can simplify the process by allowing you to maintain product information, prices and stock levels in a spreadsheet, then upload changes to your store in bulk. This makes routine updates much quicker and gives your team a familiar, straightforward way to manage a large product range. WooCommerce can also track inventory and alert you when stock is running low.
