FAQs About eCommerce Platform
What UK eCommerce platform is right for my business?
When choosing an eCommerce provider, we recommend you consider the following:
- Content Management System (CMS): Can you easily manage product information, inventory levels and general website text and images from the eCommerce platform?
- Website design: Do you prefer a bespoke site or an off the shelf template used 1000's of times? Ask for website examples so you can check the quality for yourself.
- Website speed: Does the eCommerce platform deliver fast and performant websites? Slow and clunky websites will decrease conversions and organic rankings.
- Accessibility: Reputable eCommerce platforms will build eCommerce sites to accessibility best practices as standard. Keep an eye out for this!
- Search Engine Optimisation (SEO): Is SEO tooling included?
Hidden charges - Is hosting, SSL certificate, domain and email setup, and training included? - Promotions and gift cards: Will these features benefit you? Does the eCommerce provider offer these?
- Integrations: Does the eCommerce provider offer social media or email marketing integrations? For bricks and mortar retailers, a vital question to ask is do they offer a built-in POS system too? A unified platform will eliminate the need for multiple systems and duplicate efforts, saving you time.
- Payment providers: What payment providers does the eCommerce platform integrate with?
- Support: Is reliable and timely support available?

How much does an eCommerce site cost?
Prices to design and build your eCommerce site vary. We have a solution for everyone, from template based designs to help start-ups get up and running, to complex and bespoke for large retailers looking to modernise, grow their sales and get their in-store and online in check once and for all.
We integrate with Dojo, Shift4, Stripe, PayPal and Klarna as our secure payment gateways. We also offer Novuna, V12 Finance and Ideal4Finance if you wish to offer customers a finance solution. Each provider sets their own rates which you'll negotiate directly with them. For Stripe, we charge up to 1.9% + 20p transaction fee, this includes the 1.5% + 20p that Stripe charges. We can offer lower rates to businesses transacting more than £7000 per month.
The cost to build your eCommerce site is included in your subscription fee if you opt for a 24 or 36 month contract. Starting at £199 per month for template designs or a starting at £459 per month for bespoke designs on the scale plan. Pay upfront options available too.
Our Scale plan includes 3rd party integrations and supplier feeds. Sites are built to best practices and we sort the data and content migration for you, ensuring existing SEO strategies are migrated and 301 re-directs setup.

Can I use the same products in-store and online?
Yes, that's the beauty of Saledock! Upload your products once, and they are available to sell online and in any store of your choosing. If prices vary per store and online you can change the prices for each too.
How does eCommerce work with Saledock POS?
Saledock offers an all-in-one POS and eCommerce solution, with a web based back office; your business management hub. From the back office you have complete control over eCommerce content and multi-channel products. You can even run an in-store and online promotion in just as few clicks, and add a promotional banner to your homepage. We'll design and develop your eCommerce site, and provide one-on-one onboarding and training before going live with your site. You'll also be able to process click and collect orders straight from your POS device.
Do you integrate with other eCommerce systems?
We don't offer eCommerce integrations as we offer our own eCommerce platform. Our approach is to make business management as simple as possible. Rather than maintaining and paying for separate systems, we offer an all-in-one solution. This means you have one solution to manage online orders and both in-store and online inventory. Third party integration still requires 2 systems where data is often duplicated and not always in sync. We've chosen a different route to eliminate the need for 2 systems.
