Free Business Tools to Make Selling Online Easier

---

Shift4Shop's Website Builder includes the Core Theme Editor, which makes it simple to customize your theme with the colors and font sizes that are right for your brand. Several themes come with multiple presets as well, that instantly let you apply a whole new color scheme. 

We make it simple for you to start accepting payments right away. Our built-in integration with PayPal lets you accept credit cards and PayPal funds, and takes only minutes to set up. By using PayPal as your payment provider, you can also access our free, unlimited End-to-End eCommerce plan, which includes all our features with no monthly fee.  All Ecommerce Websites support over 160 alternative payment providers around the world with a wide range of options available, including interchange-plus pricing, Bitcoin, and many other flexible solutions. 

Encourage hesitant customers to buy with financing and "buy now, pay later" options. Utilize tokenization for card-on-file transactions, accept Visa Checkout and Masterpass, let customers pay with digital wallets like Apple Pay, and more. You can also accept eChecks and set up special custom payment types to fit your business's unique situation. Plus, take orders by phone with our manual/phone orders system, and sell in person with a powerful and versatile point-of-sale (POS) system.

Once you've installed your theme (with only a couple of clicks), spice it up with your logo and images. You can also turn on a carousel banner for your front page, which will rotate to showcase multiple images in sequence. Shift4Shop gives you unlimited space, so feel free to add as many high-quality images as you need.

You can't neglect taxes unless you want to deal with some severe penalties. Luckily, it's pretty easy to set them up correctly provided your eCommerce software gives you a quick way to do so. Shift4Shop does include a quick tax setup that takes your location and the locations of your customers into account. Integrations with third-party tax software like Avalara are also available.  

Please consult a Tax Professional if you have any questions regarding taxes outside of the initial setup.

Credit cards are indeed popular, but a growing portion of customers prefers to use alternate payment methods. There are many reasons for this - perhaps the customer doesn't have a credit card at all, or they prefer to keep their financial information hidden within a digital wallet that securely stores their payment details. People choose alternate payment methods out of a desire for greater security and convenience, especially shoppers who frequently make purchases on their smartphone where entering a credit card number can be a hassle. Popular alternate payment methods include PayPal, Visa Checkout, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, and more. Any of these can be set up on your online store in just a few simple steps. You don't want to overdo it with payment methods, but PayPal, Amazon Pay, and Apple Pay are all very popular options worth considering. Shift4 can even process certain alternate payment methods itself.
 

With an assortment of designs and extra features to choose from, such as sticky menus and product image animations, the Shift4Shop theme store has plenty to get you started.
