Ecommerce for Ontario Businesses
Ontario is home to businesses selling from major urban markets, growing technology corridors, smaller communities and everywhere in between. An ecommerce store gives an Ontario merchant the ability to serve customers locally while building a business that can reach the rest of Canada and international markets.
PlanetShopping is designed for that online model. Your storefront is connected to the operational tools behind it, including products, variants, inventory, orders, customers, payments, shipping, taxes, discounts, analytics, domains and SEO.
Sell from Toronto, Ottawa and Across Ontario
A merchant does not need a different ecommerce system for each Ontario market. Businesses in Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Windsor and communities throughout the province can build and operate their online store from PlanetShopping.

Ontario HST Considerations
Ontario participates in the Harmonized Sales Tax system. The applicable tax treatment depends on the transaction and the merchant’s circumstances, and Canadian place-of-supply rules can affect which GST/HST rate applies when goods or services are supplied across provincial boundaries.
PlanetShopping provides tax settings for your store. Merchants remain responsible for determining whether they must register, which taxes apply to their sales, and what they must collect and remit. Use current Canada Revenue Agency and Ontario government guidance or qualified professional advice when determining your obligations.

Manage Products and Inventory
