Are onlines stores only for professional sellers?

An online store is perfect for professional sellers who want to reach new customers online. But because it’s so easy and affordable, starting an online store for beginners is also worthwhile. Maybe you’re a hobby seller, or maybe you’re dipping a toe into e-commerce and want to try something new. From luxury items to homemade hot sauce, you can sell practically anything from your online store. It’s so easy and fast to open an online store, you can do it without any previous experience.

How many products can I sell in my online store?

Jimdo’s online stores are ideal for up to 100 products. You can offer different variants of the same product—different colors, sizes, etc. The intuitive design of our product pages makes it easy to present all the important information about your items in one clear place, to make sure your customers always have the overview they need.

What payment options do my customers have?

To make checkout quick and convenient, your customers can choose how they pay in your store. You can offer them a range of secure payment methods through PayPal and Stripe, including direct debit, credit card, and local payment methods depending on their country like iDeal, SEPA, Sofort, giropay, EPS, Bancontact, MyBank, and P2.

What’s the most important part of selling online?

No matter what features or styles your store has, your product should always be your main focus. Make sure to present your products in the best possible way. That means above all having high-quality product photos and informative product descriptions that motivate customers to buy. Jimdo’s product listings are easy to set up and designed to always look great.
