From Storefront to Point of Sale

With the E-commerce module from Kopage, you don't need expensive shop software. Whether you want to sell just a handful of products or a small range – the shop app offers everything you need for professional online trading: inventory management, shopping cart, and secure payment methods.

Note: The shop module is ideal for SMEs and start-ups. It is fully integrated into your existing design, ensuring that the shopping cart and product pages match the rest of your website seamlessly.

1. Activate the Shop Module

How to start selling:

  1. In the main menu, click on Modules or Add Apps.
  2. Search for Shopping Cart or E-Commerce and click "Add".
  3. A new "Shop" section will appear in your navigation, which you can now configure.

2. Create and Manage Products

Click on your shop module to add products. Pay attention to the following details to ensure a high conversion rate:

  • Meaningful Images: Upload at least one high-quality main image.
  • Detailed Descriptions: Explain the benefits of your product briefly and concisely.
  • Variants: Offer choices such as size or color.
  • Stock Levels: Enable inventory tracking to avoid overselling.

3. Set Up Payment Methods

To allow your customers to pay, you must link a payment provider. Kopage supports the most common services:

PayPal
The fastest method. Simply enter your PayPal email address and start receiving payments.
Stripe / Credit Cards
Enables payments via Visa, Mastercard, and often Apple Pay/Google Pay.
Prepayment / Invoice
Ideal for the Swiss market. Provide your bank details for manual payments.

4. Shipping Costs & Taxes

Don't forget to define the legal and logistical framework:

  • Shipping Rules: Define flat rates or free shipping for orders above a certain value.
  • VAT / Taxes: Set the correct tax rate for Switzerland (currently mostly 8.1%).
Legal Compliance in Switzerland: Ensure that your Legal Notice, T&Cs, and Privacy Policy are correctly linked. Kopage provides space for this in the footer of the checkout process.
