A Complete Ecommerce Platform for UK Businesses
Selling online involves much more than creating a website. Products need to stay organised, stock needs to be monitored, orders need to be managed, customers need a reliable checkout experience and the business needs visibility into performance.
PlanetShopping brings these essential ecommerce functions together in one place so UK merchants can focus on growing their brands.
Ecommerce Across the United Kingdom
PlanetShopping can be used by businesses throughout the UK, from London, Birmingham and Manchester to Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast and communities throughout the country.

Selling Online in the UK & VAT
UK businesses selling at a distance have responsibilities around the information presented to customers before and after an order. Depending on the business and what it sells, requirements can include clear product information, prices, payment and delivery information, terms and customer rights.
VAT responsibilities depend on the merchant's circumstances, what is being sold and where transactions take place. Businesses should determine whether VAT registration and collection requirements apply and configure their store accordingly.
Shipping Across the UK & Beyond Local Markets
Whether you sell primarily within England or ship to customers across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, shipping is an important part of the online shopping experience.
An independent retailer in Manchester can sell to customers in London. A brand in Birmingham can reach buyers in Bristol, Leeds or Glasgow. A business in Edinburgh can build a customer base throughout the UK.
Accept Online Payments with Stripe
PlanetShopping works with Stripe for online payment processing. Merchants maintain their payment account and payment relationship directly with Stripe while PlanetShopping connects the payment experience with the rest of the store.
