Online ordering for garden centres

Your a gardener or a landscaper 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 garden centres

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 garden centres in particular

  • What is in stock changes daily with the season and the website is frozen in spring.
  • Landscapers want trade lists and availability, and ring for both.
  • Events, café and plant sales all fight for the homepage.

Typical ticket in your trade: €20 to €5,000. One enquiry that comes to you instead of to the online plant retailers covers a lot of website.
