Generate extra income working part or full-time!
With an OpenShop online shop, you only need to upload your product listing once and it will continually sell without incurring any of the fees that you might otherwise pay if you sell on an auction website. You are in total control of your which products to promote and our sophisticated system will email you everytime an item is sold.

Anyone can own and run an online shop and you don't need to be a computer expert because our OpenShop admin panel makes it easy for you to manage all aspects of your online business.


A powerful, easy-to-use online store is waiting for you.
OpenShop will create a custom designed online shop just for you. That's right, we don't use templates that have been used 100's of time before so your website will be designed just for you.

We will load up-to 10 email addresses at the time of setting up your shop and you will also get access to the OpenShop content management system (CMS) so you can upload and make changes to your products and descriptions whenever you like rather than paying someone else to do it, so you can start selling products online quickly and easily.

From the admin console you can view orders, set their status, print out receipts, manage the forum, manage your customer database and view detailed website performance anytime from anywhere around the world.


Here is a process diagram showing how easy it is to run an OpenShop online store. As you can see, it is the easier, smarter way to sell online, and the best part is that you can do this in comfort of your own home and whenever it suits you.


What about running costs?
Web hosting and access to the content management system (CMS) are your only running costs. OpenShop web hosting includes secure hosting in our first class data centre and up to 10 email addresses loaded at the time of building your online shop.

Secure access to the OpenShop CMS allows you to make changes to your website and/or online shop and we provide free security updates and patches as required.

All this for only $10+GST per month for each service ($20+GST).

My website is now in its 2nd year and sales have doubled and my database has over 2000 members. I started with a limited budget ($0.00) and I definitely got value for money and still do. If you are serious about starting an online shop, I thoroughly recommend OpenShop.

Nothing to sell? No problem!
One of the most common difficulties that people face is finding the right products to sell and figuring out where to source the products at the best price. There are many ways to source goods ranging from bulk importing (biggest profit margin) or drop-shipping (less profit, but no investment required).

In fact, many companies will be willing to take you on as a reseller and offer great discounts just because you have invested time and money setting up a great online shop.

Dropshipping is a popular worldwide concept. This is how it works. You sign-up to sell goods for other organisations on your website but you don't hold any stock. When you make a sale the Wholesaler or manufacturer sends the product directly to the customer under your business name. But here is the best part. Most of the time you receive the money for the order and then you pay the wholesaler after you take your commission. Alternatively, the wholesaler might receive the money and pay your commissions at the end of the month. Either way there is no financial risk to you.

This is a common online business model, it's low risk, and a great option if you don't have funds to import the goods in bulk.

Contact us now to find out how we can help you find the right wholesalers or dropshippers.

Are you a wholesaler, importer, manufacturer, or retailer?
An OpenShop website could help you to sell more to existing customers, find and sell to NEW customers, and lower your overall cost of sale.

Two ways that OpenShop can help you do this are:

1) By simply starting your online shop to establish a solid online presence. This is the most common way of stepping into ecommerce trading and it makes your products and services available to current and new, even non-local customers 24 hours a day.

2) We can include your business in the OpenShop suppliers list and connect you with people who might want to sell your products on thier website. This may enable you to enlist others to sell your products and capitalise on the booming ecommerce industry without requiring any additional investment or labour costs.

Contact us now if you would like to find out more or if you are ready to e-commercialise your business.

Already selling online? Great! Now turn it into a REAL business!
Let's face it. What have you got left after selling online through third party websites and auctions?

Yes, you made some profit but you know it will always be just another job. You have probably realised that it is time to turn your selling into a proper business, create your own brand, and most importantly you need to build richer relationships with your customers.

Research shows that building richer relationships with your customers can increase the number of sales and the average revenue per sale per customer but you can't do that if you are selling on someone elses website. Also, OpenShop websites have a rewards points module designed to help you increase repeat sales and average revenue per sale so you can position your business ahead of the competition.

Once your OpenShop webiste is up and running, you can start telling you current customers where to find you and work on building your online presence so new customers find you too.

And because you wont have to pay listing fees or sales commissions you might decide to offer better deals to the customers who buy from your OpenShop store. Remember, many of us already search online to find the best deals and it is obvious that having your own website will eventually be the only way to keep up wiht the competition.

Contact us now to talk to us about turning your 'selling' into a successful online business.

New to computers? So are most of our clients!
That is exactly the reason why we have put so much effort into ensuring the OpenShop admin panel is as easy as possible to use.

Managing your OpenShop store and uploading products is very simple and once familiarised with the CMS most people take less than a minute to upload each product. And best of all, you can do this in the comfort of your own home or where ever you are around the world at any time.

Many of our clients were only used to checking emails and it took them only a few hours to get used to the shop manager. If you ever get stuck or need help with anything, our support team is available 24/7 to assist.

So what are you waiting for? Don't get left behind. Open your online shop today and start making money online!
