An online shop for small businesses
Do you sell handmade creations, local products or a small range of items? You don’t necessarily need a big e-commerce platform. A simple shop that reflects who you are is often more pleasant for your customers and much easier to manage.
A shop sized to your business
The big e-commerce solutions are designed for hundreds of products, complex stock and whole teams. For a small business, they mostly add subscriptions, settings and time spent in front of the computer.
I design bespoke shops limited to what you really need: your products well presented, a clear ordering process and management you can handle from your phone.
Features chosen to match the way you sell
Depending on your business, the shop can for example offer:
- a product catalogue with photos, prices and availability;
- ordering without online payment, settled afterwards by TWINT or bank transfer;
- custom requests, with photos sent by the customer;
- delivery within Switzerland or collection on site;
- simple administration to add a product or confirm an order.
A price set in a written quote
A shop depends a great deal on the number of products and the features you want. After a first conversation, you receive a written fixed-price quote, with the content and timeline set out in detail. Pixea takes no commission on your sales.
Real example
Choup’Inna, crochet creations in Lausanne
Choup’Inna sells handmade crochet creations. The shop had to stay warm, like the creations themselves, and be very simple to manage day to day.
Customers order without paying online: the maker confirms the order, then payment is made by TWINT or bank transfer. Custom requests can include photos, and everything is managed from the phone, with delivery within Switzerland.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions, my answers.
Do I have to offer online payment?
No. For many small shops, an order that’s confirmed and then paid by TWINT or bank transfer is simpler and avoids fees. Card payment can be considered if your business calls for it.
How many products can I show?
The shop is designed for a reasonably sized range, from a few items to a few dozen. For a very large catalogue, I’ll honestly point you towards another solution.
Will I be able to manage my products myself?
Yes, if your shop includes it: the administration is designed to be used from a phone, with no technical knowledge.
Does Pixea take a commission on my sales?
No. You pay for building the shop as set out in the quote, then hosting and the domain to the providers. Your sales remain yours.
