In our previous article, we discussed the numerous benefits for businesses to have an online store. LINKER.store is an ideal platform for anybody who wants to start selling online. It is easy to use and doesn’t require you to have any prior knowledge of setting up a webstore. All you need to have is your product information. The platform is absolutely free for SMEs; you only have to pay the payment gateway and logistics charges that are guaranteed pre-negotiated best rates for GlobalLinker members.
Getting started
The first step is to setup your store, where you will select the basic settings for your store such as URL, address, logo and theme to be displayed.
Catalogue
For customers to be able to find the products easily, you need to organise your products into intuitive categories and sub categories. LINKER.store allows you to create Categories, Filters and Product variants to enable a smooth shopping experience for your customers. It becomes very important to get your product information arranged before you start adding these online. Once you have added your products, you can further classify products into the Featured Products or Best Selling Products section on the homepage.
Pro Tip: You can download the guide sheet to arrange the information beforehand. Before promoting your website, get the layout and information tested by family and friends for honest reviews of your website.
COD Payment Gateway Setup
Just like you have POS swipe terminals, this application allows your customer to make payments right on your website. Payment gateway option available on LINKER.store is ready to be activated with zero setup fees. It facilitates all payment functions (payments, refunds, etc), is PCI compliant and brought to you at best possible transaction rates. If you enable Cash on Delivery, you can either fulfil this yourself or get it delivered by our shipping partner.
Logistics (Courier) Setup
LINKER.store’s shipping partner, Vamaship, allows you to initiate and track your shipments right from your Seller Dashboard. It supports PAN India deliveries and shipping charges are negotiated at best rates available.
Banners
You can upload banners that showcase promotional offers or Feature Products/ Categories on your store. Each banner can be linked to the respective category/ product page on your website. This can lead customers into purchasing trending products.
Pro Tip: Keep updating your banners regularly to showcase your products and pique the interest of your customers. You can leverage festive banners and have special discounts to promote sales. GlobalLinker’s SME Design Services is a convenient way to get your bespoke banners created. Just share your requirements with us.
It’s time to take your business online with LINKER.store.
