Selling online has become a top priority for local businesses
To support fast, easy, online transactions we've introduced our e-commerce tools with a specific focus on gift cards and featured products.
Things to know
Depending on your plan, you may have limited access to Online Storefront (e-commerce) tools. Learn more about what is included in each plan on our Pricing Page.
Your Storefront can be added to your website or microsite Powered by Locable or you can sell through your Locable Profile.
All Orders are tracked in your Online Storefront and linked to the purchaser in the integrated CRM (based on their email address).
Stripe must be connected in order for your Storefront to go live - All credit card transactions are processed by Stripe - learn more about linking Locable to your Stripe account or creating a new Stripe account here
