E-Commerce & Shop Local Online Stores

The most feature-rich and innovative shopping carts available.

Our e-commerce sites are chock full of all the features you need, including inventory management and the ability to sell physical or digital goods. We've also developed a version that extends the e-commerce site to allow multiple vendors to sell through a Shop Local site.

Lots of Shop Local sites allow businesses to sell their products online, but there's usually one big downfall: customers can only buy from one vendor at a time.

Shop Local products for saleWith our Shop Local online stores, customers can buy from multiple vendors in one transaction.

Find out more about why local shopping is so important to communities.

More than 50% of in-store buyers have researched online before they buy in-store.

That means that having an online store lets you get extra exposure that can actually help generate a brick & mortar sale. If you're a business, having your own online store allows you to become part of the thriving online sales sector. If you're a community, providing a Shop Local online store for your businesses helps promote local businesses and increases the online footprint for your entire community. Either way, stores, shoppers, and communities win!

When we were invited by Virginia's Department of Housing and Community Development to speak about marketing to Virginia Main Street Community directors from across the state, we needed something helpful to give them to take back to the office. Our Quicky Guide to Social Media ended up being quite a hit! This poster is different from anything we've ever seen: It has dry erase blocks to let the user jot notes for planning their social media. The poster is 11"x17" - large enough to accommodate the dry erase blocks but small enough to not take up too much of the user's office wall.
