Are you looking to sell products and services online? One of the best parts about having an online business is the fact you can be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. When other people are sleeping you'll still be taking orders. The WebStarts Shopping Cart is everything you need to create this type of automated, money-making machine. Here's a list of 5 WebStarts Shopping Cart features that can help take your online business over the top that you may not even know existed.
1. Sell digital products
If you haven't considered selling digital products online you really should. Even if you're currently selling physical goods, most people have a few products that can be created in a digital format. Digital goods are easy to sell online because they give the purchaser that instant satisfaction that comes from an impulse buy. Some digital goods that sell well online are software, ebooks, and media.
2. Instantly accept credit card payments
When I go to a website that accepts Paypal as the only payment option I get skeptical. I know anyone can sign up for a Paypal account in a few minutes and I won't receive the same type of service and purchase protection that comes with using my credit card. To accept credit cards without a Paypal account or similar you'll need to setup a merchant account. This normally involves a long application process, but not with the WebStarts Shopping Cart. With the WebStarts Shopping Cart we've partnered with WePay to let you begin accepting credit cards at super low rates instantly.
3. Store customer contact information
There's no more important data in business than your customer contact data. Yet so many businesses fail to store and utilize this information. With WebStarts Shopping Cart you can view contact data for every person who's ever made an online purchase from your company. We even provide an email marketing platform so you can send those valuable customers follow up emails automatically.
4. Custom thank you email.
People are naturally more skeptical when doing business online. That's why it's important you stay in communication with your customers after the sale. With the WebStarts Shopping Cart you can create a custom email receipt that helps your customers know what they can expect. It's a great place to remind your customers of how long it will take for them to get their product, how to contact your company if there's a problem, and more.
5. Display stock on hand.
Sometimes you're selling items online and you only have so much inventory to ship out. By displaying the stock on hand you can increase customer confidence by providing inventory status. It can also be an opportunity to create a sense of urgency if the quantity is limited.
With all the power and flexibility of the WebStarts Shopping Cart you're sure to create an automated business that's poised to keep going and growing. To sign up for a free WebStarts Shopping Cart account click on the shopping cart icon on your WebStarts dashboard or visit this link.
