Payment, Shipping & Product info
Setting Up Your Online Store
Payment Processing
We typically work with Stripe or PayPal which charges 2.9% + C$0.30. Our experience has shown that most of these merchants are open to negotiating your processing fees, but you have to show them a degree of volume. If you are able to achieve a higher sales volume Authorize.Net or Chase Bank offers a rate of 2%.
If you’re already currently using a merchant terminal, we can also typically integrate it online so your POS is on the same platform, ensuring your inventory and accounting are in the same place.
Shipping Options
Before customers decide to buy anything online, they will first make sure there are reasonable shipping options to their area. To make this message clear, we usually recommend a title bar at the top of the website. To incentivize larger cart amounts with free shipping minimums but also to offer a set table depending on distance and price. WooCommerce allows easy shipping zone isolation by provinces as well as postal codes.
- Choose from a real-time integration with Canada Post, UPS and other providers.
- Provide a shipping table with set rates by dollar amount purchased or by weight.
- Choose to offer free shipping (with certain minimums) and build it into the price.
Product Details
Here are the basic parameters to decide:
- Title*
- Short description*
- Price*
- Long description/details
- Shipping measurements and/or weight
