Why SiteSwan’s Online Store Solution is the Perfect Fit for Most Small Business Clients
Published on July 25, 2022. Updated on November 17, 2024.Many small businesses are looking to capitalize off eCommerce and are interested in selling their products online. Rightfully so considering in 2023, global retail e-commerce sales reached an estimated 5.8 trillion U.S. dollars (source). While they understand the benefit of selling products online, many small business owners struggle to put it into action. Most eCommerce solutions are too difficult, time-consuming or expensive to launch. They can also be cumbersome for the consumer. As an important element for any business selling online, the functionality and usability of their platform is essential to ensure a smooth purchase experience for their customers and hassle-free way to receive payment.
Luckily, SiteSwan offers an eCommerce feature that can be easily added to any SiteSwan website within minutes. We streamlined the process of setting up an online store so you can instantly add this feature to your client’s website and they can start selling without all of the hassles associated with eCommerce.
If you have a client interested in selling products on their website, or you're looking for an eCommerce solution that won't rattle your brain (and wallet), here are 4 reasons why SiteSwan's simple online store is the perfect fit for most small businesses.
1. SiteSwan Online Store Meets Most Clients Needs While SiteSwan’s Online Store may not have all the bells and whistles of other eCommerce solutions, it does fit the needs for the majority of businesses looking to see products online. If your client wants to sell a handful of products (ideally less than 100) it’s perfect.
For example, if a client wants to sell handmade candles, clothing or even gift cards, the Online Store is a great option. On the other hand, if they are looking to sell hundreds of different items or launch the next Amazon - it wouldn’t be the right fit.2. SiteSwan’s Online Store is Widely AcceptedSiteSwan’s Online Store is powered by PayPal and makes selling products and services on your client’s website quick and easy. In fact, there are currently more than 346 million active PayPal accounts (source). The good news is that most business owners are already familiar with PayPal and many already have a PayPal merchant account. This eliminates the need for them to create a new account or jump through hoops just to start selling products online.3. SiteSwan’s Online Store is Fast and Easy to Set Up It literally only takes minutes to activate your online store with SiteSwan. We made the process super easy for you to set up so you can start adding products almost immediately. Simply activate your client’s online store by connecting to their PayPal account. Adding products to the Online Store is also a quick task that requires minimal time and effort. 4.

This not only saves your client hundreds of dollars in additional fees, but it also offers you better margins so you can charge your clients more for an eCommerce site.
