Set up · Online store setup

An online store that is ready to take orders

We don't just install the software. We connect payments, shipping and product content, then run a test order end to end before opening.

What it solves

Installing store software is the easy part. The real work is getting products listed properly, making payments and shipping actually work, and being able to see where customers drop off. We handle all three together.

Who it suits

  • Sellers using phone, WhatsApp or marketplaces who want their own store
  • Store owners who can't take orders because payments, shipping or product content are incomplete
  • Businesses that want a solid checkout before spending on ads
  • Teams that need help with product descriptions and images

What we take on

  • Recommending a platform based on your catalogue and needs, with the reasoning
  • Loading in-scope products with images, descriptions, variants and stock
  • Category structure, search and filters
  • Payment provider and shipping integration
  • Order emails, returns and cancellation flow
  • Tracking for product views, add to cart and purchases

What you get

  • A live store, verified with a test order
  • Products and categories in place
  • Payments and shipping connected
  • Sales tracking set up
  • A short walkthrough on adding products and managing orders and stock

How it runs

  1. Catalogue and sales review

    We look at your products and how you sell today, and decide together on the platform and integrations.

  2. Preparation

    We list the documents needed for the payment provider application and gather product details and images.

  3. Build and product loading

    We set up the store, load products and connect payments and shipping.

  4. Test order and opening

    We confirm with a real order that payment goes through, shipping labels are created and emails are sent, then open the store.

What we need from you

  • Product list, prices and basic product details
  • Product images
  • Payment provider and courier contracts signed in your name
  • Your approval of the distance selling, returns and privacy texts

Scope and limits

  • We don't promise sales or order volumes; the store makes buying possible, while demand comes from ads, content and time
  • Multi-vendor marketplaces and complex ERP integrations are scoped separately
  • We don't provide legal advice; your legal texts need sign-off from you or your lawyer
  • The number of products in scope is agreed in writing; additions are discussed separately

How it is priced and run

Setup is a project, with scope, product count and fee agreed in writing before we begin. Once open, the store is yours to run. If you want maintenance, product updates or ad management, we can carry those on as separate services.

Frequently asked questions

Which platform do you use?

We don't push one by default. We look at your catalogue size, variants and integrations, then recommend a platform and explain why.

What do I need to take payments?

You need a contract with a payment provider or a bank virtual POS, in your name. We list the paperwork and handle the integration and testing.

Who loads the products?

We load the products in scope. You supply images and basic details; we tidy descriptions and set up categories.

Can you move my existing store?

If the product data can be exported, we bring it across and redirect old product addresses to the new ones.
