Last year, Americans spent a whopping $79.17 billion on eCommerce goods. That accounts for 14% of total retail sales, up from 11% in 2019.
The pandemic played a significant role in this growth, but as the world returns to some resemblance of “normal,” people are still shopping online! If you’re concerned only giant retailers can grab a piece of this pie, don’t be. Smaller online businesses can capitalize, too, especially ones using HubSpot for their CMS.
So, if you’re looking to add eCommerce functionality to your site this year, take a look at two options native to HubSpot.
eZo Commerce is available to HubSpot CMS Professional users and offers three packages to help build different online stores. Every eZo plan uses your HubSpot products and comes with:
For fulfillment, tracking, manual orders, discounts, and categories, opt for the Pro plan. To enable shipping and subscriptions, try Premium. Whatever option you select, you’ll be able to build your store quickly and easily.
Checkout HQ is available to a broader audience, specifically: HubSpot Sales Professional or Enterprise level subscription and One of: HubSpot Marketing Starter, Professional, Enterprise level subscription or HubSpot CMS Professional or Enterprise level subscription. The app allows these users to create a turn-key, lightweight e-commerce flow using HubSpot products and deals. There are two tiers with benefits like:
Selecting the Quotes + Payment plan enables Stripe integration for payment processing. Like eZo, both options let certain HubSpot users build eCommerce solutions in a few hours without accessing a third-party eCommerce software.
It’s clear that most Americans by now are very comfortable with eCommerce (looking at you, Amazon shopping cart). Don’t let the fear of having to shell out big bucks for an expensive eCommerce platform hold you back. Try eZo or Checkout HQ for your needs!
