In the online business era, where always more stores and companies offer their products and services in a network, the way to launch a commercial activity also evolved. Sometimes, to start an online business, all you need is the right idea and one or more partners with whom you are sharing the same point of view. So, when your e-commerce is ready to be launched and you took everything into account, here's the problem arising: alright, you have planned to share by 50%, but how will you put it into practice? Who will receive the payment when the first customer purchases one of your products with a credit card? How will it be split based on the commissions you have agreed upon? If you are already tearing your hair out thinking about checking every single order, a calculator in your hand, and managing all percentages and commissions manually, take a deep breath and read what our YITH Stripe Connect can do for you.

The more information you provide, the more your customers will be happy with your service, and what’s more useful than knowing exactly how a skinny dress suits you if you cannot try it on before purchasing? A detailed table with all size information is what you need to make your online shop complete and avoid misunderstandings during a sale.

Selling products all over the world implies having to deal with different shipping fees for each state, region or city. Luckily, by using the native WooCommerce options, we can easily fix this issue, but it won’t be so easy in case the shipping fees need to be edited for each single product. WooCommerce doesn’t allow that. What if you need to sell products that require different shipping fees? Imagine selling a product that might require higher or lower shipping fees according to where in the world it needs shipping. WooCommerce would not be able to help in any way, not without a substantial amount of editing in the code, which would be costly.

Imagine this scenario: You are spending time with a colleague of yours while you get the idea of selling online a product you are going to work together at, after the initial moment of euphoria, then a list of questions wil arise such as: How will we divide the income? When are we going to get paid? Who is going to keep track of the payments? Unfortunately in most cases, these questions are not easily answered and can be cause to a lot of frustration. This could be the case of a video course, a music file or any kind of creative work you decided to share 50% of your income with. !!!

Alex is making purchases on your e-commerce. He placed three products in his cart and, while surfing, he finds an item that he considers perfect as a birthday present for his father who lives in another country. Satisfied, he adds this to the cart as well, while thinking of his father's happiness when he would unexpectedly receive the gift. But when he’s about to end payment, he realizes that he can’t make one order and select two different shipping addresses. He’s forced to take away his father's gift from his cart and plan to make a new order later. As soon as he has 5 minutes, he thinks, maybe later, maybe the next day. Maybe never, as is often the case. Because in the meantime he will find a similar product on another e-commerce, or maybe he will find it on a better price in another store, who knows. Whatever the reason, in fact a product removed from the order is a lost sale that will hardly be recovered. Now imagine that Alex chose to remove his products and buy only the gift for his father. In this case, the economic loss would not be of a product but three. And imagine that this situation in your e-commerce occurs several times over a week or a month. How many sales are you already losing without even knowing it?

A recent research has proved that the 70% of the users uses the chat to ask information: they do it to be reassured, to receive that human feedback that only a clerk can offer physically. And the aim of YITH Live Chat is exactly this one, in an immediate and performing way. That’s right: it’s possible to communicate with our customers using emails or contact modules, unfortunately customers often ask for information when they are just about to purchase something and their wait for an answer, however brief, might be enough for them to lose interest and have second thoughts about actually purchasing it. And this process means less sales… A lot less!

Have you ever noticed that Google shows product feeds among its results? They are so captivating, tempting and attractive! They immediately catch users' eye, persuade them to click and take them directly to your shop page. Google Merchant: the bright idea by Google, well-conceived for those who aim to boost their sales. Just think about it! That simple click will not only meet the target but will also take the users who have a strong tendency to purchase to your site and, as a foreseeable consequence, increase your sales.

Is the final price for your products the right one? Every time you need to assign prices to new products you have for sales, many questions arise: you want to treat your customers well treated but something may interfere with your decision of what the final price might be and good intentions just aren't enough. Some of these questions may concern the price applied by the payment gateway of choice, for each transaction. The most warning factor is the fact that if you intend to add this cost directly to the final product price, that's going to influence your customers' decisions and might end up purchasing it from some other store paying a little less for it. And just like that you lost not just a sale, but a potential customer. Clearly you can't afford to lose money, but you might consider that adding that cost to the final price isn't nice either, since every gateway has different prices and you would end up with showing an expensive price even when the payment method chosen by the user doesn't require it.

Do you like the sound of money? I'm sure you do, since when you own an e-commerce store, there is no better sound from the one of a scored sale. When customers buy from your online store, you must know right away, in order to be able to taste that particular feeling that only sales can give. It doesn't matter what you are doing, doesn't matter if you are checking your budget or if you are in a meeting with your colleagues, you need to be informed! Sure, you must be thinking that emails and text messages help in this respect, but this forces you yo have to keep updating your accounts.

They say customers need to be pampered. I’m sure you already moved toward this objective in your business, making your user a part of it and of your business values, but there is one more thing you can do to improve your website. And that’s simply saying “Thank You”. When you buy from a store, you generally get a warm and welcomed “Thank You” from your clerk, and that’s when you may receive a gift or maybe you are simply suggested to look at something else in particular, be it a promotion or a specific event. Why not do the same thing on your e-commerce store, thanking each and every single user for their purchase? Your customers will sure appreciate that.
