Online store Start: start selling on the internet
Start selling online with a store that’s organised, clear and tested.
Many businesses already sell through Instagram or WhatsApp: the customer asks the price, sends shipping details, makes a bank transfer, and someone has to check everything by hand. It works with a few orders, but it takes a lot of time and sales get lost along the way.
Online store Start is your first complete e-commerce store (online shop): up to 20 products, payment methods, shipping options and checkout (the final step of the purchase, where the customer enters their details and pays). The customer chooses, pays and receives confirmation without you having to step in at every stage.
It’s designed for businesses starting to sell online or with a small catalogue: handmade products, an own brand, a local shop that also wants to sell beyond its physical premises.
It solves a specific problem: making buying easy for your customer and keeping order management organised for you. The price is a starting price, because it depends on the platform and the setup your business needs.

Imagine a handmade ceramics shop that sells on Instagram through direct messages.
Before
Every sale takes several messages: price, availability, address, bank transfer and confirmation. Many conversations are left half-finished.
After
Customers buy directly in the online store, pay by card and receive their order confirmation. The maker just prepares and ships.
- A clear purchase process customers can complete on their own
- Fewer conversations needed to close each sale
- A store that’s open at any hour
- Orders kept in one place
- A foundation ready to grow with more products, automations and advertising

Which platform do you use?
We choose it with you during the diagnosis, based on your catalogue, your needs and your current tools. Platform subscriptions or licences are paid separately.
Why is it a «from» price?
Because the setup of payments, shipping and platform varies from one business to another. We confirm the exact price before we start.
Do I need to have product photos?
Yes, or you can commission them from Sonic Studio, which offers product photography as an additional service.
What if I have more than 20 products?
You can add them with the Extra product service, charged per product. If your catalogue is large, Online store Growth may be a better fit.
Does the customer receive an order confirmation?
Yes, the platform’s standard confirmation is left active and checked during testing. Custom email sequences are available as an additional service.
Are payment fees included?
No. Each payment gateway charges its own fees per sale, directly to your business.
