Online ordering for furniture retailers
Your a homeowner places the order at 9pm on a phone instead of ringing at 8am, sees their own prices, and reorders from history. The order lands in your system, not in someone's inbox to be retyped.
What is included
- Trade accounts with per-customer pricing and minimums
- Catalogue and live stock from your back-office system
- Reorder from history, saved lists, delivery or collection
- Integration to your accounts package
In practice, for furniture retailers
For a showroom, ordering online is about the ranges that suit it: clearance, accessories, samples, the smaller pieces. We build a checkout for those, with click-and-collect and delivery quoted by postcode band and item size, and leave the big-ticket items to enquire, reserve or book a visit. Payment through Stripe, returns handled in the shop.
Why furniture retailers in particular
- People browse online first and your range is not there to browse.
- Ex-display and clearance stock, your best margin, is not advertised anywhere.
- Delivery lead times and fabric options live only in the salesperson's head.
Typical ticket in your trade: €300 to €10,000. One enquiry that comes to you instead of to the national furniture chains online covers a lot of website.
Questions furniture retailers ask about this
- We do not want to become an online shop.
- You do not have to. Sell the ranges that suit it online and keep the rest for the showroom; the site does both.
- Delivery of large items.
- Quoted by postcode band and size, with white-glove and collect-only options.
