Create My Webstore has all the powerful features you need to sell your products on the Internet. From automatic inventory management to reports and graphs,
live visitor monitoring (so you can always see where your customers are at every moment), to full PayPal integration... you have everything you need to get
started quickly. Our advanced features ensure that as your business grows, you won't hit any "glass ceilings". We give you the features you need for
any size business.
PayPal offers some very unique services to sellers: the best anti-fraud protection in the industry and UPS and USPS shipping labels that can be purchased through PayPal in seconds.
Because of these great features, we have chosen to partner with PayPal. The integrated shipping feature alone will save you many hours over competitors who require
that you create your own shipping labels or wait in line at the post office. Create My Webstore is fully integrated with PayPal so that when a customer
makes a purchase from your website, they will make the payment into your PayPal account. Within seconds, PayPal will verify the customer's information using
it's anti-fraud system, then it will immediately tell our system that the payment was accepted and you have received the funds. Once that happens, the order
shows up in your Webstore Administration screen, ready for order shipment.
Create My Webstore offers professionally-designed website templates that will give your webstore a professional, appealing look. You can also
use your existing website design if you already have one. You can even design your own from scratch. Due to the flexibility of our software,
there is no limitation on the use of HTML, CSS, client scripts, or graphics in your website design. If you don't know what half of that means,
don't worry! You can just choose from our existing templates... one mouse-click is all it takes to transform your entire website's look instantly.
If you have products that need to be re-ordered from a manufacturer, you will want to be aware of your inventory levels so you don't run out. As items
are sold, inventory numbers are automatically adjusted so you can always know how much is remaining. There is an Inventory Report available that displays
the current inventory of all products, or you can see a specific product's inventory.
When an item's inventory reaches zero, it will automatically be listed as "out of stock" and cannot be purchased. Or if you'd prefer, you can specify that a product's inventory is unlimited so that it will never be out of stock.
Who doesn't love a good coupon code when buying things online? Giving out coupon codes is a great way to increase sales and get customers excited
about making a purchase. Customers especially love shipping discounts or free shipping. Create My Webstore offers a flexible, simple Coupon Creator
that lets you create coupon codes with optional expiration dates, shipping discounts (or even free shipping), product discounts, and even
lets you specify certain rules that must be met. For example, you can create a coupon code for free shipping only for certain products. Or a 20% off
discount for an entire product category.
Email newsletters are a great way to keep in touch with customers. Create My Webstore provides you the option of allowing visitors and customers
to sign up for your newsletter. Then, all you have to do is create it (using our full-featured online editor) and click Send. Everyone who has
signed up for a newsletter will receive an HTML email complete with graphics and text formatting, exactly as you designed it, and (hopefully) with
plenty of links to your products. What better way to get customers to come back a few weeks after they made a purchase? And hey, why not
throw in a few coupons, too?
What if a customer emails you two weeks after they made their purchase and they have a question about their order? You can pull it up quickly,
even if they don't have the transaction number. Just click the "Search" button
on the Orders screen. You can search by email address (partial or full), name (partial or full), transaction ID, specific date, or a date range.
Need to put an order on hold? No problem! Maybe a customer is mailing a check or you're waiting a few extra days for a shipment to arrive from
a manufacturer before you can send the customer's order out. Just click on the customer's order to select it, then click the "Put On Hold" button.
If any orders are on hold, the "On Hold" tab on the Orders screen will glow red to remind you. Just click the tab to see all orders on hold, including the number of days each order has been holding. To move an order back to the regular orders (the inbox), just select it and click "File in New Orders".
Website affiliates are third-party websites that want to affiliate with you. They will put links to your webstore on their website so their visitors
can click over to you. In exchange, they are hoping for a gratuity for each visitor who subsequently purchases from you. You can (optionally) allow
other websites to become your affiliate. They will automatically be provided with an affiliate link that includes their unique affiliate ID number.
Any of their visitors who click this link will then be recognized by Create My Webstore. If that visitor makes a purchase, the referring affiliate
will be created the gratuity percentage that you have specified. For example, perhaps you want to offer affiliates 10% of the purchase price
for any purchases made by visitors who come to you through their website. Our system will track all of this automatically for you and the affiliate.
Both you and the affiliate will automatically be notified when a referred customer makes a purchase.
We are proud to offer a feature that no other webstore company provides. This is one of our customers' most beloved features.
While you are in the Webstore Administration screen, you can watch visitors as they come to your store, browse to different pages, add items to their shopping cart, and make purchases. You can even see how they got to your site. If they typed a search into a search engine, you can know what search engine they used and even what keywords they typed to find you! Some of our customers love to just watch visitors browse their store in real-time. It can be addicting!
You will probably be uploading a lot of pictures as you're creating your webstore. We offer an integrated web-based file upload tool that is fast and powerful.
If you're uploading large images, it even shows a progress bar so you can see how long the upload will take.
Google is one of the best ways to get visitors to your webstore. By purchasing AdWords, you can bid on keywords and create those little text ads
that appear on the right side of each search results screen. This is an excellent way to get high-quality visitors to your site who have money
burning a hole in their pocket and are ready to buy. By typing in a special URL link for each product you're advertising in Google AdWords,
our system can track the results of those ads. Then you can run reports to see how well your Google AdWords are doing compared to the purchases
that are being made.
Froogle is also an excellent advertising tool that is free to use. Customers search Froogle and only see commercial products for sale... including
yours, if they typed the right keywords. We offer an automatic product feed into Froogle so their product database receives automatic updates as you
make changes to your line of products. All you need is a free Froogle account.
Got a customer on the phone and need to do a quick "what if" shipping calculation? This is very common. We offer a very sleek, fully functional
shipping calculator for UPS, FedEx and the US Postal Service. For each shipping service, you can define the service type (ie, Next Day, Priority, Ground, etc), the customer's
zip code, and the package weight. The calculator will give you the price and expected arrival date for that shipment.
If you're using the US Postal Service for international shipments, it will show
you other shipping options you may not have considered, some of which can be cheaper or faster.
It's easy to create new product categories and specify which category each product should belong to. Our webstore software will automatically display
links to each product category on your webstore so customers can browse by category and see a list of each of those products.
We offer powerful reports and graphs so you will always be up-to-date on the current statistics of your webstore. Want to see how your sales have been
over the last few weeks or months? Check out the Weekly or Monthly bar graphs that show number of visitors, number of purchases, and sales on a weekly
or monthly basis. How about a detailed history of visitors including where they came from (if they clicked a link to get to you)? We've got you covered.
Just type in your expenses and our software will automatically calculate your store's profit for you. It's really that simple.
