For shops, markets & makers

Keep selling after the visitors go home

A shop that's easy to find in July and still takes orders in January: your hours and best sellers where visitors look, and a store that ships to the people who found you on vacation.

How customers choose

What shoppers want to know before they come in, or buy online

A visitor deciding whether to stop, or a past customer looking you up from home, wants a few answers fast.

Are you open, and where are you?

Hours, seasonal changes, and directions at the top of the page, matched to your Google profile so they agree everywhere.

What do you carry?

Your best sellers and categories as real pages, so the shopper who wants smoked salmon, a kite, or local art knows you have it.

Can I buy it from home?

A real store with a cart, checkout, and your shipping rules, so last summer's visitor can reorder in December.

Willapa Tide Seafood Co. is a working demo for a fictional seafood market & e-commerce. The site is real; the business is illustrative.
What your site includes

Built to bring people in, and sell when they can't come

  • Hours and seasons up front. Summer hours, winter hours, and holiday closures, kept current as small edits.
  • A catalog people can browse. Products with photos, prices, and stock, on a phone as well as a laptop.
  • Checkout and shipping. Cards and wallets through the store platform, with your own shipping rules and cut-off times.
  • An email list for the off-season. Collect visitors' emails at checkout and send a note when the new season's stock is in.
  • Found on Google Maps. Basic on-page SEO is included, and we can clean up your Google Business Profile.

The problem this solves

Everything past driving distance was a lost sale

What a shellfish company gives up selling only from a cooler at the market — and what a working storefront with an AI layer changes.

Before

Sales meant phone orders and a cooler at the fish market, so anyone outside driving distance was a lost customer — and every catalog and price question tied up someone who should have been packing boxes.

After

The whole catalog is browsable and buyable online: shoppers filter, add to a cart, and check out on their own, while AI pairings are built to lift order size, the assistant answers the repeat questions, and abandoned-cart and low-stock nudges are designed to win back sales that would otherwise slip away.

On this coast

Where coastal shops lose the sale

Situations that come up for shops, markets, and makers from the Peninsula to Astoria and Warrenton. They're common patterns, not client stories.

A rained-out beach day, and visitors searching for somewhere to go

When the weather turns, visitors look for a shop to browse from their phones. If your hours are wrong on Google, or nothing on your site says what you carry, they go somewhere that does.

Summer customers who want to reorder in December

Someone who bought smoked salmon, a kite, or a print on vacation looks you up from home months later. An online store and an email list are how that sale still happens.

The big-box stores on the highway

A local shop can't outprice the chain stores, but it can show up for what they don't carry: local makers, the hard-to-find part, advice. Pages for what you stock help Google show you for those searches.

We work with shops, markets and makers across Pacific County and the Astoria area, including Long Beach, Ocean Park, Raymond, Astoria, and Warrenton. Every town we serve

Through the year

Found in July, still selling in January

Before the season

Before the summer visitors, make sure Google and the site send them through your door.

  • Summer hours on the site and the Google profile, matching.
  • Best sellers and categories as real pages, with photos.
  • A sign-up for your email list at the counter and at checkout.

In the slow months

When the foot traffic thins, the online store and the list keep sales coming.

  • A note to your list when the holiday stock is in.
  • The products people asked about over the summer, added to the store.
  • Stock and wholesale orders in one place, onto a wholesale board if the spreadsheet is straining.
When you're ready for more

Wholesale and inventory without the spreadsheet

Wholesale orders by email, stock counted on paper, and the same product details typed into three places. A focused tool can keep wholesale accounts and standing orders in one place and show what's running low before the weekend.

What it costs

Most shops start with the site, then add the store

One monthly price, with the first three months paid up front, then month to month. Add-ons on your first order are about half price for as long as you keep them, and these prices include that. Your order shows the exact monthly price before anything starts — see how it works.

Works with the tools you already use

  • Square

Already ring up sales in Square? Your in-store system can stay. The site can link to your Square online store, or the Online store add-on can run beside it.

Using something else? If it gives you a booking link or an embed, it works the same way. Online booking: $13 a month when you sign, $25 added later. Names are listed so you can find yours. We're not affiliated with any of these companies.

Shops, markets & makers

Straight answers

I only want to sell a few things online. Do I need a full store?

No. The Starter shop add-on is for test-selling a few products. Move up to the full Online store when it's earning its keep.

How do new products and prices get onto the site?

Send us the photos, prices, and descriptions. There's no editor to learn: send us the change and it's made within three business days. Small edits are included in the Website Plan, and we don't count them. With the Online store add-on, the store's seasonal updates are part of its price.

What about card fees and the store platform?

Payment processing and the store platform are billed to your own accounts, and we list those costs before anything starts. You see the exact monthly price in writing first.
