Here are the top 7 things you need to know about the new robust eCommerce platform from Web.com:
- Appointment scheduling: Web.com offers a simple, easy way to manage appointments and services online. Customers can book appointments, group events, classes, workshops, and more. You can do this with everything from one-time services to recurring events.
You can also set up appointment reminders to help eliminate no shows and you won’t need to manually remind your customers. We'll do it for you with SMS text reminders.
- Easy shipping: Print pick lists, packing slips, and shipping labels for each of your new orders without leaving the Web.com platform. Connect to shipping carriers to get the real-time rates and to print labels: USPS via Stamps.com, Endicia, and Pitney Bowes, DHL Express, DHL Ecommerce, UPS, FedEx, Canada Post, Seller Fulfilled Prime.
An added bonus is that you can assign savvy flat rate options or per-product settings.
- More exposure for your products and services: We take your eCommerce business to the next level and sell on Etsy, Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Bonanza, and Google. According to Statista, Amazon tops the most visited online retail website in 2020, with eBay coming in behind. Included in the top 10 are Walmart and Etsy—so you’re sure to get the most exposure with these available marketplaces on Web.com’s eCommerce platform.
With social selling, you get to connect with your customers where they are and sell on Facebook and Instagram. We make it easy to make social selling a part of your overall strategy.
- Multiple inventory locations, complex fulfillment, and dropshipping features: Merchants with inventory stored in multiple locations need a way to tie inventory together and route new sales orders to be processed and shipped to customers. Our new ecommerce platform offers a way for users to connect to these warehouses, dropship suppliers, and fulfillment centers for a more streamlined process. If your fulfillment option offers a way to send data via feeds, you can create an integrated warehouse. This allows you to automate the transfer of inventory and order data.
Sellers can also connect to their FBA account and choose to route orders from other platforms (their online store, eBay, etc.) and Amazon’s warehouse will pick, pack, and ship the order to the seller’s customer.
- Marketing features to increase web traffic and online awareness: Simple SEO scans your website and provides a health check and action plan to help you optimize your eCommerce website, improve search engine rankings, and drive more quality traffic to your site.
We also submit your website and business profile to local directories and major search engines. This allows your new website to be in front of more eyes with a quick click of a button.
- Update product listings everywhere you sell from one platform: You can sell anything you want with Web.com. This means you have the ability to manage various types of services like yoga sessions or cleaning services; variants to support different product options like sizing or colors; digital products like eBooks, or other downloadable media; and bundled items.
Quickly list your product everywhere you’d like to sell with global product information, customizable listing details for each marketplace, and more. You can set global listing details that pre-load when listing to new marketplaces. You may also customize product details for each integrated channel.
With our premium features, you can create new products and update existing product information in bulk with our ready-made templates or create your own advanced inventory template via CSV inventory import or export.
Creating a file template allows sellers to upload and/or export files with product data for thousands of products at once. While you can use a pre-built template, you can also create a custom template that matches your file, or even a supplier's file. Simply select an attribute and map it to the corresponding column on your file to tell us where to put the data when the file is uploaded.
You can even automate the upload/export process while setting up the template. Simply click the Automation Settings (via FTP/SFTP/HTTPS) button and fill out the required fields to set. This is great for sellers who either need to export their inventory details for various reasons OR they want to automate an inventory feed to update their product listings, let’s say from a supplier or warehouse automatically.
