E-COMMERCE WEBSITE

for Dolls Housing Finishings

Moving from Etsy 

We helped Dolls House Finishings move from an Etsy shop to their own website and saved them a lot of money on fees in the process!

We were approached by Dolls House Finishings after concerns about how much Etsy were charging them in fees, not only for sales, but also the fees related to add and relisting products, amounting to around 15% of their monthly income.

Moving from Etsy, Dolls House Finishings
Moving from Etsy case study

The site was ready within 6 weeks including brand new logo design, shop theme customisation, training and data entry. Within a matter of weeks after launch, the new website provided the client with a full return on their investment purely from the saving on fees they would have otherwise paid out to Etsy.

Key Features

  • Unlimited Products (no listing fees)

    Unlimited products. You can add add or relist products at no cost unlike Etsy which will charge you $0.20 per product

  • Flexible Shipping Options

    Out of the box your shop will have flexible shipping options such as free shipping, flat rate, per item or weight based and Royal Mail shipping options.

  • Customisable Design

    We use the Opencart Journal Theme to develop your shop design. The Journal Theme is very customisable so we can adapt to your requirements

  • Discount Coupons and Reward Points

    Offer discount codes and reward points for customer purchases. You can configure reward points however you want, specifying which products can earn reward points and how many points need to be earned to purchase a product.

  • Paypal Payments

    Out of the box your shop will support Paypal payments. Paypal processing fees average around 3% of your customer order total.

  • Stripe Payments (optional)

    Stripe is a very popular credit/debit card payment gateway. Stripe is ideal for small businesses who want to offer card payments with low fees. Stripe charge on average between 1.5-2% fee of your customer order value with no monthly minimum commitment. We can install the Stripe payment module for a one off fee of £50+VAT

  • Flexible Special Offers Configuration

    You can easily configure special offer pricing for any product, including a date range option where you can specify when and how long the special offer should last. Using customer groups you can also set special pricing per customer group

  • Flexible Product Options
