How to Use LincSell to Open and Run Your Online Store
For many people, online shopping has become an essential activity. You’re sitting at work, staring off into the distance, seeing the work in front of you, but trying to ignore it. You don’t want to procrastinate, but you just need to look at a fresh screen for a few minutes, so you check if your favorite store has anything new to offer…
Before you know it, an hour has passed, you haven’t made any progress, and have spent over $100!
We’ve all been there and this scenario occurs way too regularly these days. It’s also clear evidence why the best way to grow your business is to open an online store so that you can directly benefit from the daily *not* procrastinators.
It can be a daunting task to open an online store that can compete with all the tech companies out there (Amazon is the biggest eCommerce website in the world). But, with the right website, customer service, advertising strategies, and social media presence all through LincSell, your successful small business can conquer the online shopping world!
What is LincSell?
LincSell is a fresh new take on the Point of Sale (POS) system intended to streamline all facets of business, from in-store purchases to social media marketing, into a simple, easy to use interface. LincSell can be personalized for each individual business, according to its needs, and can evolve along with the business as it grows and changes.
Our developers have extensive experience working in retail and have encountered way too many complicated POS systems that only cause headaches for employees. A successful small business needs a management team who can focus on leading without getting distracted by technical difficulties, so our mission is to provide an innovative, yet straightforward system that works.
Set Up Your Online Store
It’s easy to get started with LincSell, so let’s walk through the initial steps to get you set up!
1. Choose Your Business Type
LincSell is completely customizable to the type of business that you run. We have experience in different types of retail, like thrift stores and vitamin stores, both of which have specific needs. For example, thrift stores have unique products, many of them completely one of a kind, so their needs for customization and flexibility are incredibly high. For business with so much personalization, your specialized support team is readily available to help with what you need.
While we support a variety of stores selling physical products, LincSell can also help run your online store for services through maintaining your website and social media marketing.
2. Choose Your Pricing Plan
So the flow is perfect and all your links work, but do they work across all platforms and browsers? Next in website QA testing, you want to make sure that your website is just as compatible in Safari as it is on Chrome, and on an iPad just as well as on a desktop. No matter how loyal your customers are, when they want to use your services, your website needs to be accessible on whatever device and browser is easiest for them and the experience needs to be the same across all.
Arguably, making your website work for mobile is the most important of the website testing qualities since mobile phone users have exploded over the past few years and are still on the rise. Most people access websites mainly from their phones.
3. Do You Need a Physical POS?
Just because we are focusing on how to run your online store, does not mean that those with physical stores are not welcome. We can set up a full system of POS hardware and software in one or a chain of stores that is perfectly integrated with your online store to keep everything together. That way, you can analyze customer behavior, manage inventory, and get access to sales data across both your online and physical stores in the same place.
Maybe your physical presence is minimal? With our POS Lite system, you can get all the essentials for running just a few store locations alongside your robust online store, giving you exactly what you need for your successful small business.
4. Design Your Online Store
With our easy online store kickstarter, you can open an online store and have it up and running in less than 30 minutes with LincSell! Of course, things will change as you grow your business and evolve your store, and your LincSell support team will help you through it all.
You don’t even need to know anything about coding or design, just what you want your store to look like. We’ll take care of all the technical backend and also have design templates you can choose from. You can be as involved in the design aspect as you’d like, from online store templates ready to go live that second, to fully flexible layouts completely designed by you.
5. Integrate Your Extras
Since LincSell is modified to your needs, we can integrate anything you use into your online store and/or POS system, like payment processors, print-on-demand sites, social media, and of course, your own website (if you have an existing one). We are here to ensure that your online store is successful and that you grow your business, so your team will work with you to integrate anything that will help.
Run Your Online Store with Ease!
Setting up your online store is easy with LincSell, but running it is even easier. Your support team will monitor, manage, and be ready to help with any questions or issues that arise. We are happy to grow your online store, add new features, and increase storage as needed so that you can be free to run your successful small business. The daytime online shopper will be ignoring their work and shopping on your online store in no time!
LincSell’s POS system is truly innovative and leading the way to seamless selling and business management through a cloud-based platform for selling on an online store, in a physical store, and on social media, all integrated and ready to go at your fingertips.
