INTRODUCTION
THE WHOLE PACKAGE Our pioneering platform is designed with retailers and customers in mind. It’s built to deliver, and handles millions of sales every year, but there’s more to us than that. From smart marketing that attracts and retains customers, to support that makes sure everything works smoothly and boosts your business growth – we're the whole package.
SHARED SUCCESS We grow businesses online. It’s only when your online retail business is a success that we can say we’ve done a good job. That’s why, instead of upfront and fixed fees, we base our prices on a percentage of your sales. It means that big or small, we offer a simple range of services and prices to reflect your needs. It’s also a great way to ensure that our teams are focused on your success. We are invested in your business. We are rewarded based on your sales and satisfaction levels, not on how much we sell. We will offer advice on features and opportunities that will benefit your business. What we won’t do is try to sell you extras and add-ons that offer little or no value. If we don’t think something is right for your business, we’ll say so. As you grow, so do we.
