How To Manage Your SMARTeSTORE On Mobile

As technology improves, many tasks that previously needed a computer to complete can now be managed from a mobile device. This blog will cover everything you need to know to run your SMARTeSTORE remotely, without the need for a computer, to set up, manage and sell your products.


Ecwid Ecommerce Mobile

As SMARTeSTORE is built on the Ecwid platform, it it retains all the great benefits of Ecwid, including the Ecommerce Mobile App. Through this app, you can:

  1. Set Up Your Store:
    With the mobile Ecommerce app, online store setup is easy, with over 70 design templates to get you started.
  2. List And Sell Products:
    With SMARTeSTORE mobile, you can upload product information and photos directly to your store from your mobile device, as well as viewing stock levels, availability and weight.
  3. Accept Payments Anywhere:
    With the mobile Ecommerce app, you can collect in person payments for your products or services, using cash, PayPal or a Square card reader.

For many businesses, these basic features are all that is needed to manage your sales, but SMARTeSTORE Mobile offers so much more!


    Lesser Known Ecommerce App Features

    Did you know that the Ecommerce App allows you to access your sales and product information even when you are offline? This feature can be very beneficial to those that travel for their business, as you will not always have reception.

    You can also create orders yourself right from the app. It is helpful if you sell in person–for example, at a trade show, craft fairs, events, over the phone, or in a brick and mortar store. This way, you can keep the history of your orders taken in person and online sales in one place and respectively update your online stock. You can create these orders manually with the Ecommerce mobile app both for iOS and Android.




      How To Set Up The Ecwid Ecommerce App

      Once your SMARTeSTORE is up and running, linking it to your mobile device is a simple process, which is outlined in the steps below:

      1. Regardless of your phone type, sign in to your Ecwid account and go to your account’s control panel.
      2. Navigate to Sales channels->Mobile.
      3. Click “Get the App.”
      4. Scan the QR code (it will take to Google Play or App Store depending on your device.)
      5. Install the app.
      6. After installation, the app will be automatically linked to your already existing store.

      Once you have started the app and signed up, you won’t have to worry about putting in your email address and password every time you need to use it. The app is meant to log you in automatically every time.


      Custom Ecommerce Mobile Apps

      Want a custom app that allows customers to browse and purchase your products, with SMARTeSTORE, you can! All you need to do is apply for the custom app program, and your app will be developed and published on both the Google Play Store and the IOS App Store.


      Why Use A Custom Ecommerce App?

      There are many reasons that a business may want to sell their products or services on an ecommerce mobile app designed for their use, such as:

      1. Mobile Shopping Is Increasing In Popularity: On Average, over 30% of consumers worldwide  make purchases on their mobile devices every week, and this number has been steadily growing every year.
      2. A Better Experience: A custom ecommerce app can provide a more streamlined experience than shopping through a browser, while providing additional benefits such as notifications for sales, a more secure sales environment, and more.
      3. Standing Out From The Competitors: With so many online stores, you need to find ways to differentiate yourself from the competition. Not many small businesses have ecommerce mobile apps, so developing one can be a great way to set your business apart.
