Ecommerce Montreal

Let us help you build your online store with the right platform, secure payments, and efficient shipping.

WHAT IS ECOMMERCE?

Ecommerce, or online shopping, is the buying and selling of products or services on the internet. It allows businesses to reach more customers without needing a physical store. With the growth of the internet, eCommerce has become one of the best ways for businesses to sell and grow.

There are different types of eCommerce, like selling directly to customers (B2C), selling to other businesses (B2B), and customer-to-customer sales (C2C). Platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento help businesses create and manage their online stores easily.

A successful electronic commerce company needs more than just a website. It must have secure payment processing companies in Canada, simple payment in Canada options, and reliable package shipping to keep customers happy. Whether shipping locally or worldwide, smooth logistics are essential.

At Oshara, we help businesses build and improve their online stores, making eCommerce simple and successful.

DO I NEED TO HIRE AN ECOMMERCE AGENCY?

Hiring an eCommerce agency can be a great choice if you want to grow your online business the right way. While it’s possible to build your own store, an agency brings experience that can save you time and help avoid mistakes.

An eCommerce agency can help with everything from picking the right platform to creating a user-friendly website. They can also set up secure payment processing companies in Canada, so your customers can buy safely, and offer package shipping solutions for smooth delivery.

Agencies also provide marketing services, like SEO, to help your store get noticed and bring in more customers. At Oshara, we offer SEO and other solutions that keep your store competitive and up-to-date with the latest trends. If you want to create a successful online store, hiring Oshara gives you the help and knowledge you need to succeed.

Building/optimizing ecommerce store Process at Oshara

Here is the process that we use, that is always personalized to the need of our customers:

Planning & Platform Selection

The first step in building an eCommerce store is having a clear plan. We need to decide what products you want to sell, who your customers are, and how your business will stand out. A well-thought-out plan helps us avoid mistakes, manage costs, and ensure your store runs smoothly.

Choosing the right eCommerce platform is also important. Platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento have different features. Shopify is easy to use, WooCommerce works well with WordPress, and Magento is great for big stores. We should also consider things like customization, scalability, and pricing when making your decision.

Other things we need to do in this stage include selecting a domain name, setting up branding, and planning how to handle payments and shipping. The better our planning, the easier it will be to build and grow your store successfully.

Design & Development

After planning, the next step is to design and build your eCommerce store. Our goal is to create a website that looks good, is easy to use, and makes shopping simple. A well-designed store helps attract customers and build trust.

We start by picking a clean, mobile-friendly design that fits your brand. Since many people shop on their phones, the store needs to work well on all devices and load quickly. We also make sure customers can easily find products, search for items, and check out without problems.

The development phase includes setting up the eCommerce platform, adding secure payment processing, and including features like customer accounts, reviews, and emails. We also make sure the store is SEO-friendly so more people can find it online.

A strong design and smooth development help turn visitors into happy customers, making our store a success.

Product Setup & Shipping Integration

After building our store, we need to add products and set up shipping. A well-organized store helps customers find what they need and makes shopping easier.

First, we upload product images, write simple descriptions, and set prices. Good photos and clear details help customers decide what to buy. We also organize products into categories and add filters so shoppers can quickly find what they’re looking for.

Next, we set up package shipping. We choose shipping rates, delivery times, and the best carriers. Whether we need to send a parcel internally to another province, or to the United States, ship locally, or work with a courier from India to Canada, picking the right shipping method is key.

We also add tracking so customers know where their orders are. With the right product setup and shipping options, we make online shopping simple and ensure fast, reliable deliveries.

Launch & Marketing

Once the store is ready, it’s time to launch and start marketing to attract customers. A smooth launch is important to make sure everything works perfectly from the start. We test the store, checking that all features, payment options, and shipping systems are set up correctly before going live.

After launching, we focus on getting people to visit the store. Marketing helps us stand out in a crowded market. We use SEO to make sure the store shows up in search results, so customers can find us easily. Social media, email marketing, and paid ads are also great ways to drive traffic and boost sales.

We can also offer promotions, discounts, and great customer service to keep customers coming back. With strong marketing strategies, we can increase traffic, build brand awareness, and grow sales, setting the store up for long-term success.

Monitoring & Course Correction

After launching your eCommerce store, it’s important to keep an eye on how it’s doing and make changes when needed. Regular monitoring helps us track key numbers like website traffic, sales, and how customers are using the site.

We use tools like Google Analytics to see how visitors are interacting with the store. If we notice certain pages have high bounce rates or low sales, we can make changes, like improving product descriptions or adjusting the layout.

Customer feedback also helps a lot in this phase. If shoppers are facing issues with navigation, payments, or shipping, we can fix these problems quickly.

By regularly checking performance and making changes where necessary, we ensure the store works smoothly, meets customer needs, and boosts sales. This ongoing process helps the business adapt, grow, and succeed over time.

This means customers can pay with credit cards, PayPal, or other methods, and complete their purchase easily. Clear instructions and a smooth checkout process reduce the chances of people abandoning their cart. The result is more completed orders and happier customers.

Analytics & Reporting

Analytics and reporting helps you understand how your online store is doing by tracking important numbers like sales, website visitors, and customer actions. We use tools to gather this information and create simple reports so you can see what’s working and what needs improvement. This helps you make better decisions, improve marketing efforts, and enhance the shopping experience.
