Use Cases for Online Shops

Now that we've removed the traditional barriers to online shop creation and management, you're probably brainstorming ways you can utilize the platform to create new business opportunities. You can add as many shops to your account as you'd like (with no additional cost) -- so where do you start?

We've got you covered.

Below, you'll find the most common use cases for instant online shops with a minimum order quantity of one. 

Company Merchandise Stores: Create branded online stores for larger businesses to sell employee apparel and promotional items. With storefronts that never close, it's never been easier to purchase branded products!

Small Businesses Merch: Do you have a favorite restaurant or dentist? Gift business owners with online shops of their own and make commissions on every sale. With the barriers to entry in the online space out of the way, you can create online shops for anyone and earn incremental revenue.

Team Shops: Provide sports teams with online stores so they can order team uniforms without coordinating bulk orders. Bump sales in team stores by marketing gear to fans of the team so they can wear official team gear at all the team's events!

Fundraisers: Set up webstores for charities and nonprofits to sell custom merchandise for fundraising efforts. You can set the organization up as a payable to share or donate your markups to their cause. 

Corporate Gifting: Gone are the days of managing an inventory closet for employee gifting. Would your client like an online store they can use to order their employees gifts for special occasions? With a minimum order quantity of one and a 3 day turnaround time, they can order exactly what they need -- exactly when they need it.

Special Events: Launch stores for events, offering custom apparel and accessories for attendees. Customers will receive special bulk discounts based on the total number of items in their cart -- that's right, it doesn't matter if they include a mix of products or designs.

Art and Band Merchandise: Your favorite local band no longer needs to invest in bulk runs of merchandise to sell at their concerts. Set them up an online shop so their biggest fans can support them at any time with custom band gear!

Holiday Collections: Launch seasonal stores featuring limited-edition holiday-themed merchandise for customers. Better yet, add holiday-themed designs to pre-existing stores to drive more sales -- you can deactivate them when the holiday season is through.
