Everything You Need to Build and Run Your Online Store
Whether you're starting your first ecommerce business or looking for a better way to manage an existing online store, PlanetShopping brings the essential parts of ecommerce together.
Create and customise your storefront with professional themes and the PlanetShopping Store Builder. Add products and variants, organise collections, track inventory, process orders, manage customers, create discounts and monitor your business through analytics and reports.

Built for Canadian Businesses Selling Online
A Canadian ecommerce business may sell to customers around the corner, across the country or internationally.
PlanetShopping gives you one place to manage the online side of that business — from the products customers see on your storefront through to orders, customers, inventory, payments, shipping, taxes and reporting.
You can build your store during your free trial and prepare it for launch before subscribing.
Accept Online Payments
PlanetShopping is a Stripe platform partner. PlanetShopping connects your store with Stripe for online payment processing, while your merchant payment account is established and managed directly with Stripe.
You can access your connected Stripe Dashboard from PlanetShopping to manage the Stripe account functions available to you.
- Direct Stripe platform partnership integration
- Direct merchant control with personal Stripe dashboard access
- Secure SSL encrypted checkout for Canadian and international buyers
Managing Taxes in Canada
Canadian businesses can have different tax obligations depending on where they operate, what they sell and where their customers are located.
PlanetShopping includes tax settings for your store, while merchants remain responsible for determining the taxes they are required to register for, charge, collect and remit.
Canada's GST/HST rules vary according to the place of supply. Current CRA guidance states that taxable supplies can be subject to GST or HST depending on the province in which the supply is made. Merchants should use current Canada Revenue Agency guidance or professional advice to determine their obligations.
Sell Across Canada — and Beyond
An online store doesn't have to be limited to your immediate market. A business based in Toronto can reach customers in Vancouver. A merchant in Ottawa can sell to Alberta. A company in Halifax can build a customer base across Canada and beyond.
PlanetShopping is designed around that online model: build your store once and manage your ecommerce business from one platform.
Build a Store That Represents Your Brand
PlanetShopping's Store Builder lets you customise your storefront using themes and configurable sections. You can manage your logo and favicon, colours, typography, navigation, banners, featured products, collections, imagery, video and other storefront content.
Your store can be previewed across desktop, tablet and mobile while you build it. You don't need coding knowledge for the core store-building process.
- Drag-and-drop sections with real-time responsive preview
- Custom branding: colours, typography, logos, and banners
- No coding required, with advanced CSS/JS available if needed
Manage Products and Inventory
Create individual products or import products in bulk using CSV. Products can include descriptions, images, pricing, tax settings, SKUs, barcodes, inventory, shipping information, SEO information and options such as size or colour.
PlanetShopping also provides inventory management, including inventory by location and inventory transfers.
- Bulk product CSV imports and exports
- Inventory tracking by location and stock transfers
- SKU, barcode, weight, and variant configuration
Manage Orders and Customers
Once your store is operating, PlanetShopping gives you a central place to manage orders and customer information. The storefront customers visit is connected to the tools you use to operate the ecommerce business behind it.
Keep your team coordinated, follow customer purchase histories, manage customer communications, and handle fulfilments and refunds smoothly.
- End-to-end order processing and tracking
- Comprehensive customer records and purchase insights
