Ecommerce for Alberta Entrepreneurs and Businesses
Alberta businesses can use ecommerce to reach customers far beyond a single storefront or community. Whether your business operates from Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Airdrie, Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat or elsewhere in Alberta, PlanetShopping gives you the tools to build and manage an online store from one place.
PlanetShopping connects your customer-facing storefront with products, variants, inventory, orders, customers, payments, shipping, taxes, discounts, analytics, domains and SEO. That means the website and the operational side of ecommerce are part of the same platform.
One Platform for the Store and the Business Behind It
Sell from Calgary, Edmonton, and throughout the province without juggling multiple disconnected subscriptions. Run your store, process orders, and scale into wider markets seamlessly.
Alberta Communities & Commercial Centres
Alberta’s GST Tax Environment
Alberta is distinct from Ontario and British Columbia because it does not have a general provincial sales tax. At the federal level, GST rules can apply to taxable supplies, and Canadian place-of-supply rules can affect the rate charged when selling to customers in other provinces.
PlanetShopping provides tax settings for your store. Merchants remain responsible for determining their GST/HST registration, collection and remittance obligations and any other taxes that may apply to their business or products. Current Canada Revenue Agency guidance or professional advice should be used when making tax decisions.
Build Your Store Around Your Products
Use PlanetShopping themes and the Store Builder to create your storefront and organise how customers discover your products. Manage branding, navigation, collections, banners, product imagery and other storefront content without needing to build an ecommerce application yourself.
- Curate product collections tailored to your brand identity
- Mobile and desktop previews to ensure seamless shopping experiences
- No coding required for complete storefront customisation
Products and Inventory
Create products, options and variants, manage product images and pricing, track SKUs and inventory, and use inventory-by-location and transfer tools as your operation grows.
Product catalogues can also be imported in bulk using CSV to get your Alberta store up and running quickly.
- Bulk product CSV imports and SKU variant configurations
- Multi-location inventory tracking and warehouse stock transfers
Accept Online Payments & Shipping from Alberta
PlanetShopping is a Stripe platform partner. The merchant payment account is established and managed directly with Stripe, while PlanetShopping connects payments to the ecommerce store experience.
A Calgary or Edmonton business may sell locally while shipping products across Western Canada or nationwide. PlanetShopping shipping settings let merchants configure the delivery structure appropriate to their operation rather than limiting the store to a single geographic market.
- Stripe platform partner integration with full merchant control
- Configurable shipping tiers across Alberta, Western Canada, and nationally
Orders, Customers and Promotions
Manage orders and customer information from PlanetShopping and create discounts to support promotions. As the business grows, the storefront remains connected to the information used to operate it.
