How to Get a Free Shop Design & Build
I will design and build you an online shop free of charge on iShop Flex, the ecommerce solution provided by the company I work for, iShop Ltd. The design and build stage usually costs thousands of pounds, and continues to do so during the day whilst I’m at work.
As I mentioned on the previous page, the reason i’m doing this is to meet the requirements of a challenge set by my employer to bring on 30 new online shops to the iShop system, and achieving this will see me to a large pay rise and company car... Help me by allowing me to help you.
While the design and build process I am offering is free of charge (usually costing thousands), having a shop with iShop Ltd does come with some charges which are out of my control but are very, very reasonable. Being able to take credit card payments online and receive payment directly to your bank account will also require that you setup a merchant account with your bank, which will itself come with some charges which you’ll need to discuss with your chosen bank as different banks vary.
My Costs:
Shop Design - Free
Shop Build - Free
iShop Costs:
Annual License Fee - £120
iShop Flex Package - £60 per month
Commission Charges - 2% + 20p per order
Costs Explained:
The annual licence fee entitles you to all new features added to the iShop Flex system - as soon as a great new feature becomes available, you can use it without further charges. One of the latest feature additions was the ability to setup offers, using a very in-depth and versatile system allowing you to create ‘buy one get one free’ deals, ‘3 for the price of 2’ or even ‘Any 3 items for £10’ - just about any deal you can come up with! All of our existing merchants were given free access to this new feature the moment it was ready to be used.
iShop Flex carries a monthly charge of £60 - Approximately the same as a business mobile phone contract. You get an incredible amount for your money, with unlimited inclusive email accounts for your domain name, hosting, shopping basket, security, feeds, unlimited products... The list is endless. For more details on the features available, please see ishop.co.uk.
iShop charges a small commission on your sales, and this is what has attracted so many successful merchants to iShop’s ecommerce service for years - ‘Your success is our success’, and merchants can relax in the knowledge that iShop strive to do everything possible to increase your sales. The commission structure enables you to get started online as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Please complete the enquiry form below with as much information as possible. While I am keen to build as many free online shops as possible, I will only be accepting serious enquiries from potential merchants who have a vision to becoming a successful, respected online store.
Please make sure you have read the important information to your left, as this outlines the fees charged by iShop. While the fees are very reasonable (in fact I don't believe you can run an online shop cheaper elsewhere) I want you to be fully aware that what I am offering is a free shop design and build. As an employee at iShop I am not able to offer free use of the iShop Flex system or give you a lifetime of free maintenance of your shop. However, with the iShop Flex system you should be able to manage the site entirely on your own with great ease. As an iShop merchant you have full telephone support available during working hours at your standard network rate.
