In short
Want to sell online? Platforms, costs, payments, shipping, taxes: everything a Quebec business needs to launch its store.
Selling online has never been more accessible. Here are the key elements to launch a profitable e-commerce store in Quebec.
Choosing the right platform
Shopify is ideal to start quickly and simply. WooCommerce (on WordPress) offers more flexibility. For specific needs, a custom solution can be worth the investment.
Costs to plan for
- Store creation (design, product pages)
- Platform subscription and hosting
- Transaction (payment) fees
- Marketing to attract visitors
Payment and security
Integrate trusted payment methods (cards, PayPal, Apple Pay) and an SSL certificate. Trust is essential to turn a visitor into a buyer.
Shipping and taxes in Quebec
Set your shipping zones and rates, and don’t forget GST/QST. A well-configured store saves you many headaches.
Don’t neglect SEO
Optimized product pages and a blog bring free traffic to your store — a huge long-term advantage.
