Online stores: questions and answers
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Can’t see yours? Ask us directly.
Which platform do you build online stores on?
Usually Shopify, because it is reliable, secure and easy for you to run day to day. If your store has unusual needs we will recommend what fits, such as WooCommerce or a custom build.
What does Shopify configuration include?
Everything that makes the store work properly: theme, products and collections, checkout, payment providers, shipping zones and rates, GST, email notifications, policies, domains and the apps you need.
Can you move our store from another platform to Shopify?
Yes. We migrate products, customers and orders from WooCommerce, Squarespace, Wix and others, and set up redirects so you keep your Google rankings.
How do I connect my online store to Xero?
We connect them so sales, fees, refunds and GST are recorded in Xero automatically, and check the numbers with your accountant.
Can you set up an online store for selling to Australia?
Yes. We set up shipping zones, currencies and tax for NZ, Australia and international customers.
