← What going online costs No website, or no cart

Your website shows the store. It doesn't sell from it.

Customers find you online, then call to ask if you have it in their size. Here is what it takes to let them just buy it.

Sound familiar?

  • Your site has your hours, your brands and a few photos.
  • Customers call to ask about sizes and stock.
  • You know you should sell online. Nobody has the time to set it up.
What's really in the way

Every product has to be typed in, with photos and sizes, before you sell one.

At five to twenty minutes a product, one season of new stock is about 120 hours of typing. That is why it never gets done.

What changes.

  1. 01

    Start with the next buy

    Each order you enter in ThreadCloud becomes product pages with sizes, colours, fabric and photos. You don't type your whole stockroom first.

  2. 02

    Brand photos first

    The brands' own photos cover much of a season. ThreadCloud lists what is missing, so you shoot only the gaps.

  3. 03

    Sort stock before the first order

    Your till and your website have to agree on what is on the shelf. Settle it before the site takes orders, not after.

ThreadCloud prepares; you decide. Nothing reaches your website until you approve it.

Estimates in Canadian dollars unless marked. Move the slider to your store's size.
