eCommerce Store Implementation Guide

eCommerce Store Implementation Guide

This article covers the main requirements for initial setup of your eCommerce Store.   See our eCommerce Store User Guide for guidance on operating your Store after initial setup.

Store Items

Gift Cards

We can add Digital or Physical Gift Cards to your online store. 

Digital Gift Cards

If you offer gift cards from your Point of Sale, Spillover digital gift card purchases can likely be manually input into your system with a reference number. See our guide on Managing Digital Gift Cards
*Digital Gift cards will not automatically populate in your POS but require manual management. Your eCom store only serves as a storefront to collect the funds. 

Physical Gift Cards

If you offer physical plastic gift cards or gift certificates, Spillover eCommerce store can facilitate the transaction to collect funds. We'll can set up your physical GCs for pickup or mail. 
-Pickup: if you want customer to come in to pickup the gift card they purchased. 
-Mail: you'll be responsible for mailing the card. Can do a $1 flat fee to cover postage; can offer expedited mail options if desired.

Merchandise

We can add any merchandise items like t-shirts, hats, mugs, or spices, sauces, etc. to your online store! We can flag these items for pickup only, or apply shipping cost through USPS, FedEx, UPS. (see shipping info below).
Please note these considerations: 

Item Information

We'll need full item info: 
Item Name, Price, Description, Variants (like size or color, etc) + item photo.

Item Shipping 

We'll need full shipping info: 
Package Weight, Package Dimensions (height, width, depth)

**See attached "Example Item Info" spreadsheet at the bottom of this article for an example of Merchandise item information and item shipping variables. 
Feel free to use this sheet to chart your own item information.

Food Items

We can add food items to your store for pickup or shipping. 
*If you are choosing to ship food items, you are responsible for best practice considerations (airtight seal, appropriate insulation, proper shipping methods like overnight or 2nd day, etc). 
We'll need the same item and shipping information noted for merchandise. 

Event Tickets

We can add simple event ticket sales to your store.  The store primarily serves as a way to collect payment and track number of sales made.  
There are no dynamic seating, qr/scan, or special reference for tickets sold. Best practice suggestion is to export the item purchases on event date and cross-reference with name. 

Other

We're happy to discuss any additional item needs!


Shipping Methods

Flat Rate

We can set up flat rate Percentage or Dollar amount for any items. 
Flat rate is suggested for mail items like physical gift cards to cover the cost of postage ($1 flat rate). 

USPS

By default, we can calculate USPS shipping rates and pass to customer. This is the suggested (low price) carrier for most items. 
Required: 
-item weight
-item/package dimensions (height, width, depth)

UPS / FedEx

We can integrate to your UPS and/or FedEx business accounts if this is your preferred shipping method. Keep in mind that these rates are usually higher than USPS for small weight items. 
We'll need your business account login to integrate.   UPS and Fedex Account Integration 

ShipStation
