Why Use An E-Commerce Platform For Your Webshop

Easy webshop creation is possible!

To open a webshop in the Netherlands, sometimes all you need is a business & business account and a site. If you're doing droppshipping, as in selling a manufacturers products instead of producing yourself, then you don’t even need inventory. Once you have a business vat, creating a webshop with an ecommerce platform can make things much much easier for you. Platforms such as Shopify are specifically created for making webshops.

So how does a webshop work in Shopify?

Let me tell you; better than any other. Coming from an agency, in AWA Digital we see many clients will all different website platforms or tools used. Having experience with wordpress, lightspeed, Shopify and others my review on webshops is that Shopify is the platform most easy to integrate with the tools needed to run a proper site. You need to have automatic contact with your shipping company which Shopify alerts directly. You need to do advertising in Google, Facebook, and especially have an Insta Shop. Insta Shop is now the most advanced and conversion optimized way of advertising especially in the retail industry. Shopify has easy implementation by creating a sales channel for Instagram on the platform that you can then connect to Insta Shop. This makes placing prodcuts, selling and tracking inventory extremely easy. You also need to provide as clear information as possible about your products and to make it as easy as possible for your clients to make a payment.

Why prefer an ecommerce platform like Shopify?

Let's take a moment to talk about the importance of making user experience as smooth as possible. Did you know that 80% of basket abandonment is due to payment issues? The discount code might not work, or they might not get passed a page because they don’t know they need to put the country code with their phone number, or most often when transferred to the payment portal there’s an issue and the page never loads. These types of technical issues that you didn’t realize or have difficulty fixing are the cause of so many lost sales. Sales that you could’ve made otherwise but due to a simple issue, the customer gave up. These UX issues are things all e-commerce sites have to deal with. But with platforms, like Shopify, these things don’t happen.

With the Shopify e-commerce platform, UX, payment portals, redirection & 404 pages and technical SEO are all taken care of. The management of the ecommerce site becomes so easy for the owner because once the website is set up, its basically turnkey. To sum up:
