Ecommerce for Businesses Across Quebec
Quebec has a large and distinct consumer market, with businesses serving customers in Montréal, Québec City, Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières and communities throughout the province. Ecommerce gives those businesses the opportunity to serve customers within Quebec while also reaching the rest of Canada and markets beyond it.
PlanetShopping brings the storefront and the tools behind it together: products, variants, inventory, orders, customers, payments, shipping, taxes, discounts, analytics, domains and SEO.
A Distinct Quebec Market
A Quebec ecommerce strategy deserves its own focus rather than a copy of the Ontario or Canada page. Businesses serving Quebec should consider the language, customer experience, tax and regulatory requirements that apply to their particular operation and audience.
PlanetShopping provides ecommerce technology; each merchant remains responsible for ensuring its store and business comply with the legal, language, consumer-protection, tax and other requirements that apply to it.
Major Quebec Commercial Centres
GST and Quebec Sales Tax (QST)
Quebec administers the Quebec Sales Tax (QST), while GST also applies to many taxable transactions.
Revenu Québec provides specific guidance for ecommerce and states that GST and QST apply to the value of most goods and services sold online, subject to the applicable rules and exceptions.
PlanetShopping provides tax settings, but merchants are responsible for determining their GST/QST registrations, tax treatment, collection, reporting and remittance obligations. Use current Revenu Québec and Canada Revenue Agency guidance or professional advice when determining what applies to your business.
Quebec Language Considerations
Quebec has specific French-language requirements that can affect businesses and commercial communications. Merchants serving Quebec should determine the requirements that apply to their business and ensure their storefront, product information, customer communications and other materials are configured accordingly.
This information is provided for context only; PlanetShopping does not provide legal or language compliance advice.
Build a Professional Storefront
Use PlanetShopping themes and the Store Builder to create a storefront around your brand and products. Organise navigation, collections, banners and product presentation and preview your store across desktop, tablet and mobile.
- Curate collections with visual branding tailored to Quebec consumers
- Live multi-device previews across mobile, tablet, and desktop
- No coding required for complete storefront creation
Products, Inventory and Orders
Create products and variants, add imagery and pricing, manage SKUs and inventory, import product catalogues and manage stock by location.
Orders and customer information remain connected to the same ecommerce platform as the storefront, keeping operations clear and coordinated.
- Bulk CSV catalogue management and product variants
- Multi-location stock tracking and inventory transfer tools
Online Payments & Shipping Across Canada
PlanetShopping is a Stripe platform partner. Your merchant payment account is established and managed directly with Stripe, while PlanetShopping connects online payments to your store.
A Montréal merchant may sell throughout Quebec and Canada; a business in Québec City or Sherbrooke may do the same. Configure shipping based on the products you sell, where you ship and the service you want to provide customers.
- Stripe platform partner integration with full merchant control
- Configurable shipping zones across Quebec, Canada, and international destinations
