Welcome To Nationwide Selling

So you've decided to take the plunge and start a website and gain access to customers nationwide.

This is an exciting time with big rewards, but also likely feels like a daunting task with lots to learn and even more to figure out. This is where we come in and make the whole process super easy for you. We have been successfully selling products online for almost a decade and have ran into many situations that we had to figure out and learn. Now with the knowledge we have gained, we can apply our skillset and help alleviate most of the headache and growing pains for you and get you up and running smoothly, bypassing all of the mistakes commonly made so you can begin making sales online immediately, effectively and profitably. We have set this demo store up to look as close to what your site would look and feel like minus your branding of course, and a few extra areas such as this "How It Works" section.

You may be wondering, what's the catch? 

There really isn't any. There is one time charge to set up your website and our service is not subscription based, the website we set up will be entirely yours. You purchase the Shopify account, give us your log in credentials and we will go in, upload 700+ cornhole board products with mock-up designs that we offer, categorized into themes for easy location and navigation around your site built right into the top navigation bar. We will also lightly brand your homepage, build out an Upload Center for your customers to upload approved mock ups you sent so they can check out directly on your site. After we are done, you can easily add new products to your website yourself, add new categories and edit anything we have done. You can easily capture payments quickly and securely, as well as schedule payouts directly to your bank

What's Included?

Let's start out at the top, quite literally actually. 

Header

 - We will color match your header and add your logo if you have one in the upper left hand corner of your new site. 

Navigation Bar

-We will build out the top navigation bar with a "Home" button to easily take your customers back to your home page.

 - Cornhole board section with all of the categories you see on this demo site so that your customers can quickly and easily find themed designs that they are looking for. 

 - An Upload Center of your own where your your customers can easily upload approved artwork you have sent them mock ups for. They can upload the picture of the design mock-up you sent them for approval, add it to their cart and checkout. You will get a picture of the the image they uploaded so you can connect their custom design visually with their order. (we also set it up so they are required to also verbally describe it to save on any confusion and add in built in redundancy)  The customer pays up front for their entire order, so you no longer have to worry about getting a deposit, being paid the balance or not getting paid at all for their order. This also helps streamline your invoicing process and saves you time so you can do more in less time. The customer is also required to click a checkbox acknowledging that "by uploading their custom order they agree to all aspects of the design, including but not limited to; spelling, punctuation, colors and placement of the artwork. Due to this being a custom order, they also agree that once the image is uploaded, processed and printed, refunds will not be available." By having them do this, this alleviates the part of liability for missed errors and gives you a leg to stand on if an error occurs that you, your customer and the designer missed. Of course, you still are free to help them out in anyway or fashion you like as a business. You can view what the Upload Center looks like by clicking this link here: Upload Center

  -Contact button so that your customers can easily send you a message directly from your website. Your email address will not show to them unless you want it to. This can be controlled in the backend of your website under preferences.

  -Users can also create an Account on your website so you can easily reach out to them for promotions, sales, updates, new items, email marketing, mark customers for discounts and much more. 

  -Search function so customers can easily search your website for keywords used in your titles and tags so they can narrow their search down to what they're looking for quick.

Shop Home Page Image

This is the main image shown predominantly at the top of your website. you can add multiple images to create a slide show and easily toggle them on and off and control the time between slides.

 -We will design an eye appealing main image for your website to set the tone and feel of your site for you and your customers. We will create one image with your provided logo artwork if you like and allow up to 2 revisions here. (this does not include us designing a logo if you don't have one) 

Collections

Collections are categories of products you sell. 

  -We will build out the cornhole board collection for you with over 700 mock-up designs we offer. If you get graphics somewhere else, you can also add their mock-up designs as well after we are done, that way you can get your artwork anywhere you want. (we can only add the mock-up artwork we can supply but you can easily "duplicate" our item on the backend of the website, swap out the mock-up picture and change the item title to make a new product.) Our cornhole board build out will include the description, mock-up pictures, your price you want to sell your cornhole boards for and bag options. You tell us the price you want to sell your boards for and we will set it for you on the initial start up and give you the tools in the self help section to change it in the future. We can also apply shipping charges if you wish to add shipping costs to your customer, giving you the flexibility of the up front price appearance on your site. We have used our mock-up picture to showcase the design only and not the framing system. This way you are free to build your boards the way you always have and your customers have become accustomed to. You are free to use our description, or you can edit it or write your own from scratch. Once we are working on your site, simply email us exactly what you want for your description and we will apply it to the cornhole boards. We will also add the color variations for the different color bags. You can use ours, our you can give us a list of your own. There is a limit of 27 colors. You can view a sample cornhole board product HERE.

 - You can add your own collections for other items that you may sell as well once we are finished and sell them directly through your new site as well. These "collections" can be used to sell anything you like such as apparel, wall decor, cnc carvings or anything else you currently make or want to make in the future, giving you the room to expand your website to whatever size you grow into. Since we have already made out collections and products, you can easily look at how we set the items up on the backend and compare how it shows on the front end to your customers based off where we put information. This makes adding your own items extremely easy as you can use our backend product set up as your cheat sheet.

 -You can easily customize your your home page with a robust list of sections, including blog posts, featured collections to showcase your favorite items. Gallery, images with texts, action buttons to bring your customers directly where you want them to look. Slideshows, imbedded movies, customer testimonials and a slew of other items to select from to add to your homepage to continue tailoring your website to the precise way you want it after we hand it back to you.

 -Footer color matched to your website where we can put links to your social media outlets so your customers can easily connect to you on your social media platforms

Just input your box size and weight and click print. You can also set up box size and weights of items that you ship regularly as a template to quickly choose an the correct package for your item.  If you choose to take it a step further, you can automate this portion and set up rules and it will automatically assign a predetermined package size and weight based off your exceptions. You can access UPS, USPS, DHL, Canada Post, and many other carriers with deeply discounted rates and ship like a boss. If you have existing accounts with these carriers you can also link them to the platform if you wish including FedEx.

Getting Paid

So you've captured payments and made shipping labels easily with the seamless integrations, but getting paid is pretty important too right?

-With Shopify managed payments, your credit card payments will accumulate in your online account and once linked to your bank account, you can deposit these funds directly to your bank account (for liability reasons we can not do this and recommend setting this up after we build out your site.

Your other merchant account deposits, such as Paypal, will be deposited based off your preferences set up in those accounts.
