# Selling Products Online for Mansfield Businesses > You already have customers, stock and a way of working. The job here is not to build a business, it is to add a sales channel without creating a second job for somebody. **Provider:** Web Design Mansfield (a dijitul company) **Location:** The Bungalow, 11 St John Street, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire NG18 1QJ **Phone:** 01623 272050 **Email:** info@web-design-mansfield.co.uk **Price:** From £395, excluding VAT **Canonical URL:** https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/sell-products-online/ --- This is the most common ecommerce job we do, and it is quite different from building a shop from scratch. You have an established business. Something already works. The risk is not failure to launch — it is bolting on an online channel that creates chaos in the stockroom. The questions that matter are operational. Does the website know when the last one sold in the shop? Who packs it? What happens when someone orders something at 11pm that a customer bought at 4pm? Does it end up in your accounts without anyone re-typing it? Get those right and online selling is a straightforward addition. Get them wrong and it is a permanent low-grade headache. ## What you get ### Stock kept in step Where your till system supports it, we link stock levels so selling in the shop reduces what is available online and vice versa. Where it does not, we set sensible buffers so you do not oversell. ### Click-and-collect that works on the shop floor Designed around what your staff can actually do. A collection order should print, be pickable, and not require someone to check three screens. ### Local delivery zones Charge properly for a Mansfield delivery, differently for Sutton or Kirkby, and not at all beyond a radius you choose. Postcode-based, so it is unambiguous. ### Only the products that make sense online Not everything should go online. Heavy, fragile, made-to-measure or low-margin items often cost more to ship than they earn. We help you pick the range that will actually work. ### Orders that flow into your accounts Xero, Sage or QuickBooks integration so online orders appear as invoices automatically rather than as a monthly re-keying exercise. ### Built onto what you have where possible If your current website is sound, we add the shop to it rather than replacing it. Cheaper for you, and you keep the search rankings you already have. ## The operational questions worth settling first We work through these with you before writing any code, because the answers change the build: - Who packs orders, and at what point in the day? - What is the cut-off for next-day dispatch, and is it realistic in your busiest week? - What happens when something is out of stock — backorder, substitute, or hide it? - Do trade customers see different prices to the public? - Who deals with returns, and what is the policy? - Which items are simply not worth shipping? ## Trade and account customers If you sell to both trade and public, the website can show different prices to logged-in trade accounts, enforce minimum orders, and offer payment on account rather than card. For a lot of Mansfield suppliers this turns the website from a shop window into an actual ordering system that saves the office hours a week. That is often where the real return is — not new customers, but existing customers who stop ringing up to place repeat orders. ## What affects the price Starting price: From £395 (excluding VAT). - Whether your existing website can have a shop added or needs replacing - Whether stock needs to sync with an EPOS or accounts system - How many products go online versus stay in-store only - Whether you want delivery, collection, or both ## Local context — Mansfield A recurring pattern locally: a business with a strong reputation and a loyal customer base within about fifteen miles, doing everything by phone and counter. Adding online ordering does not usually bring a flood of strangers — it makes the existing customers easier and cheaper to serve. For a Mansfield trade counter or a specialist supplier, that is frequently a bigger and faster win than chasing national ecommerce sales. ## Also known as selling online Mansfield, add ecommerce to my website Mansfield, sell online Mansfield, take payments on my website Mansfield, online ordering Mansfield, click and collect Mansfield. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I add a shop to my existing website? Usually yes, especially if it is WordPress. If it is on a builder like Wix or Squarespace, their built-in shop features are limited but may be enough for a small range. We will look and tell you which is cheaper overall. ### Will online orders mess up my stock? Not if we link the systems, and not if we set buffers where linking is not possible. Overselling is the classic failure and it is entirely preventable with the right setup. ### Can I offer collection instead of delivery? Yes, and for a lot of local businesses collection-only is a sensible starting point. No packing, no postage, no lost parcels, and the customer comes into the shop where they often buy something else. ### Do I have to put my whole range online? No, and you generally should not. Start with your best sellers and the things that ship easily. Expand once you know how the operational side feels in practice. ## Related services - [Ecommerce Web Design in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/ecommerce-web-design/): Online stores built around how your business actually operates. - [Setting Up an Online Shop in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/online-shop/): For businesses selling online for the first time — explained without the jargon. - [WooCommerce Development in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/woocommerce-development/): WordPress-based stores with no platform fees and no ceiling on what they can do. - [Amazon, eBay & Etsy Management in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/marketplace-management/): Selling where the buyers already are, with the fees laid out honestly. - [Ecommerce SEO in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/ecommerce-seo/): Getting product and category pages found — at catalogue scale. - [Dropshipping Websites in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/dropshipping-websites/): Built properly — and with an honest account of what the model actually involves. --- Web Design Mansfield — Mansfield’s digital agency — websites, SEO and marketing that bring in work.
