Is the siteSPARK store right for you?

Made for small shops

The siteSPARK store is built for businesses that sell a small range of products or services and want their shop to look like the rest of their website:

  1. a maker, artist or designer selling their own work
  2. a local business taking orders for pickup or delivery
  3. a service business selling packages, classes or bookings
  4. anyone who wants to add a few products to an existing website

You design every product's page yourself. A product appears exactly where you put a Product block, in any section, next to any photos, text or video you like. There is no fixed product-page template to fit into.

What you get

  1. Cart and checkout on your own website
  2. Payments: PayPal (shoppers can also pay by card through PayPal) and Offline — cash on delivery or bank transfer, where you arrange payment with the customer
  3. Shipping priced by destination zone and parcel weight, with optional free shipping over an order amount
  4. Products with a sale price, up to two options (such as Size and Colour, where each value can add to the price), stock tracking and an optional customer note
  5. Invoices and receipts emailed to your shoppers
  6. Order management: mark orders paid, fulfilled or refunded, and resend invoices and receipts

When to choose Shopify or WordPress + WooCommerce instead

A dedicated e-commerce platform is the better choice if you need any of these, which the siteSPARK store does not offer:

  1. A large catalogue. There are no automatic shop, category or search pages. Each product is shown by a block you place yourself, which suits a handful to a few dozen products, not hundreds.
  2. Tax calculation (VAT or sales tax added at checkout)
  3. Discount codes or coupons
  4. Customer accounts, where shoppers log in to see their order history
  5. Digital downloads delivered automatically after payment
  6. Subscriptions or recurring payments
  7. Payment methods other than PayPal and offline (Stripe, Apple Pay directly, and so on)
  8. More than one currency at the same time
  9. Products with more than two options, or more than 200 option combinations
  10. Carrier-calculated shipping, such as live rates from a courier, or printing shipping labels

If none of these are deal-breakers, the siteSPARK store keeps everything in one place: your design, your content and your shop.
