Business Services - The Tassie Shop
The Tassie Shop is a unique website that showcase a wide range of uniquely Tasmanian products and services. Paid listings include a photograph, a descriptive paragragh and a link to either your online ordering facility, or other contact (website address, active email button, one touch dial of your phone number etc).
Visitors to Tasmania often purchase local produce and artifacts, take it home and at some time in the future, would like to purchase more but often have no way to do this. The Tassie Shop gives them the opportunity not only to replenish their supplies but view other Tasmanian products which they may have missed, and purchase them also.
How It Works
How Are Customers' Orders Processed?
Purchasers deal direct with individual suppliers. The Tassie Shop is not involved in any aspect of the sale of goods and services. It operates simply as a showcase that directs all equiries and sales direct to the supplier. No sales commissions are payable to The Tassie Shop. .
What If I Already Have An Online Sales Facility?
We will add a "Buy Now" button to each of your your Display Panels which take purchasers direct to each individual item in your online store. Customers buy direct from your online store.
What If I Don't Have An Online Sales Facility?
If you do not have an online sales facility, we can add "Buy Now" buttons to each of your Display Panels by which customers can purchase goods and services direct from you using PayPal. If you have an existing PayPal account, the "Buy Now" buttons will be linked directly to it. If you do not have a PayPal account, we can assist you in setting one up. Once established, each time a customer purchases an item using a "Buy Now" button, you will receive notification from PayPal of what has been ordered, the amount paid and the customer's name, delivery address etc. The money is paid immediately into your PayPal account (less PayPal's processing fee) which you can then transfer immediately into your linked bank account.
Whether your "Buy Now" buttons direct online purchasers to your existing online store or to your PayPal sales facility we have created for you, The Tassie Shop will have no involvement in any purchases made through our website - customers buy direct from you. Payments are made directly to you, order are sent direct to you and the customer deals directly with you at all stages of the process. We receive no notifications of purchases made through the The Tassie Shop website, nor do we receive fees or commisssions from you or PayPal for purchases made through the website.
Sales Point set-up: $90.00 (one-off charge). This charge is additional to the cost of Display Panels and includes assisting you in setting up your own PayPal sales facility.
What If I Don't Want An Online Sales Facility?
If you would rather customers contact you direct to place an order or make an enquiry, we can add a "contact us" button which automatically dials your phone number if tapped on a mobile phone, or an "email us" button which opens their email app/program. If you have a market stall and want that to be your point of contact, we can add that information instead.
