Launch Your Small Business
Online in Canada.

We create your small business online store using Shopify.

Why? This is the most user-friendly and the best platform available based on our opinion.

And Shopify is proudly Canadian!

Every client’s requirements are unique. Therefore, we will first have a discussion and asses your requirements and will offer a customized plan for our services. 

Domain cost:

If you do not have a domain, Shopify domains are $14 to $18 for 1 year.

If you already have a domain, we can transfer the domain to Shopify.  

Shopify fees:

After launching, you will have to pay Shopify fees for hosting your online store and App fees. 

These are not charged by us. Shopify will directly bill your credit card.

We suggest starting with the Shopify Basic plan unless you are okay with starting with higher plans.

Shopify Basic plan, your start-up cost will be USD 29 + App fees App fees varies on your store needs.

This again depends on your requirements. If it is a simple online store with less than 25 products, we can target to launch within 3 weeks.

However, this will depend on the size of the e-Commerce store and you as well.

We need you to provide the information to us promptly.

We can not begin the process of adding products to your site until you provide us complete product information.

If you do not have product images, we can offer product photography services. Photographing and editing images and video will add to the length of the project.

Speak with us so that we can submit a customized solution.

After we launch your online store, you will have two options to manage it:

OPTION 1: You or someone within your company can manage the online store.

OPTION 2: We can manage your online store for a fee of CDN $ 300 per month + taxes plus the cost of hosting your account and the software fee.

• We can manage your online inventory, add or delete products.
• Run and manage sales.
• Add up to 5 products per month
• Total of 1 hour of edits per month.
• Additional edits are charged at $100 per hour. We will always quote before implementing.

Hosting fees with Shopify: starting at US$ 29 per month. (Overtime, depending on your sales growth, we can upgrade if you want to.)

Management fees: CDN $300 per month, if we manage. You can manage your store yourself as well.

Total cost per month: CDN $300 + US $29 = $329

Please Note: Additional costs:

If you are looking for special features that require additional paid Apps, there will be a fee. 

We are a very transparent company. 

You will receive a detailed bill. With every additional App, you will receive an email confirmation before we add this App.

It will depend on your business model. You have options:

OPTION A: Bag the order and call your customer to pick up from your store.

At this time, try your best to have less physical contact with your customer.

• Customer calls you upon arrival at your parking lot
•  The customer verifies his/her name, order #, and license plate.
• You may deliver straight into the trunk of the vehicle.

OPTION B: Bag the order and coordinate with Lyft or Uber to deliver the order for a fee. The customer at the time of purchase can decide to Pick-Up or have it delivered to their door-step.

This is where it can get tricky. We suggest you hire someone or work with a company that can help you promote your online store across all platforms and digital media.

1. Organic traffic: Implement SEO (Search Engine Optimization) so that people searching for your products will find your eCommerce website. 

Implementing SEO is a tedious task, however, with the right method, you will see great results over time. If you found our website while searching for “How to take your Brick & Motar store online”, it is because of our strong SEO.

2. Online advertising: Digital Media advertising will help drive more traffic to your online store. When people search for your products, a small advertisement will be displayed on Google and or Facebook. These are paid advertisements. You can do it yourself or hire an expert.

3. Social Media: Having a strong Social Media presence is essential for an online store. 

4. Newsletter: Newsletters are essential when promoting your online store. You can send out weekly e-flyers to your customers, increasing your sales.

You will need an email marketing software. We recommend Mailchimp: starting at $9.99 per month.

With Mailchimp, you can promote your business across email, social, landing pages, shoppable landing pages, postcards, and more — all from a single platform.
