Selling online

If online selling for home delivery or in-store (curbside) pickup is an option, then we suggest that you use your website to keep revenue coming into your business.

• Review our Site Settings Recommendations.
• Read our Guide to Growing your Online Business.
• Set a reasonable free shipping threshold* (see 'Add Shipping Rule' on this page).

*Our typical recommendation is $50. We have several retailers choosing to go lower in order be a more attractive alternative to Amazon - and convert as many sales as possible.
