Internet service provider Hostpoint launches a brand-new e-commerce product called "Webshop". This new solution lets customers easily set up their own online shop in no time and without any prior knowledge, so they can get started selling their products right away. The new webshop solution is free for the first six months. This is Hostpoint's way of helping out during this difficult time and, above all, of offering small businesses some relief.
The new e-commerce solution from Hostpoint is called "Webshop", and is primarily geared toward small businesses and individuals. The new product offers customers a quick, easy and professional solution to help them tap into the Swiss e-commerce market. The goal is to help customers without any prior programming or design knowledge get their own online shop up and running in very little time. Hostpoint takes care of all necessary updates and backups with one of Switzerland's most reliable, state-of-the-art infrastructures.
The current COVID-19 pandemic is causing serious distress for many small and medium-sized businesses in Switzerland, which is why Hostpoint quickly decided to make changes to its products and services. Customers who have purchased products with a 12-month contract can use Webshop completely free of charge for the first six months and are free to cancel at any time. The remaining six months will not be billed until after the free period has ended. The package for a small online shop (Webshop S) includes up to 1,000 products and 250 GB of web hosting space for CHF 29.00/month from the seventh month. Hostpoint wants to offer SMEs some extra support and do its part to help businesses during this difficult and uncertain time.
A variety of useful features
Shop owners have a variety of design templates to choose from that can be customized in nearly limitless configurations. Content elements can be positioned by simply dragging and dropping them. Adaptive design ensures the site is automatically displayed properly on any device. There are several other helpful features for management and logistics tasks, such as an order and transaction overview and delivery slip templates. The Webshop packages also include up to 500 GB of web hosting storage, unlimited e-mail accounts with 5 GB per account and one free SSL certificate (FreeSSL) issued by "Let's Encrypt". Some of the other great features include multi-language support, directly integrated SEO support, social media plug-ins and support for various payment platforms (e.g. PostFinance, PayPal, Stripe, invoice).
Nearly ten years of e-commerce experience
Hostpoint has been offering a similar product for the Swiss e-commerce market since 2011. But the usability, design and features needed a refresh, so the last several months have been spent working intensively with external partners to develop a new solution.
Hostpoint is the largest web hosting provider in Switzerland. It manages more than half a million domain names and has extensive experience in the Swiss e-commerce market. In recent years, it has become apparent that e-commerce is becoming more and more important - particularly for SMEs. Many small companies and retailers in particular are seeking ways to boost their sales via digital channels as well. At the same time, consumers expect to be able to buy practically any product online as well. Hostpoint believes that it is precisely the companies and producers of niche products that have particularly strong potential in the online retail segment.
