E-commerce Setup

A store that's actually set up right for Canada.

Canadian e-commerce is a real, growing market — but most generic setup advice is written for the US and skips what's actually different here.

What's covered

Platform setup

A store built on Shopify (or another platform, if it's a better fit) — ready to take orders and get paid, not a half-finished template.

Tax configured correctly

GST/HST calculated properly by province from day one, instead of a US-default setup fixed later.

Payments & checkout

Pricing and checkout in CAD by default for a Canadian customer base, with payment processing set up to actually work.

Shipping logistics

Zones and rates set up around real Canadian shipping expectations, not a US-centric platform default.

Who this is for

Any small Ontario or Canadian retailer ready to sell online — whether that's a brand-new store or fixing a setup that was copied from a US template and never actually configured for a Canadian customer base.

E-commerce Setup FAQ

Do I need a full website rebuild to add e-commerce?

No — e-commerce setup can be added to an existing site or built as part of a new one, depending on what you already have.

Why does the tax/shipping setup matter so much?

A lot of generic e-commerce advice and templates are written for the US market. Ontario's HST isn't a flat US sales tax, and shipping expectations differ too — getting this wrong at setup means fixing real orders later instead of getting it right once.

Is Shopify the only platform you'll use?

It's the most common choice for small Canadian retailers for good reason — solid Canadian payment/tax support and a large ecosystem — but we'll scope the right platform for your specific business on the call.
