A new year is almost upon us, and that means it’s time to level up! Whether you have new end user clients or you want to revamp your existing clients online stores, the BrightStores Team is here to support you every step of the way. We want to help you maximize your progress so that all your hard work results in a favorable outcome.
Why BrightStores?
The real question is: Why NOT BrightStores? On a serious note, BrightStores has the best features, pricing, and security for online stores in the Promotional Products Industry. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity and ability to order their products online, and we have based our platform around that. That’s why we have two separate Store types: Simple Stores and Company Stores. Your vision and needs are important to us, and we provide you with all the tools you need to ensure success in your stores. Whether that’s an easy and effortless Simple Store or a fully customizable Company Store, we have what you need. In terms of security, our Tech Team is constantly working to maintain a secure environment in order to keep your clients data safe and protected at all times. This company was built from the ground up by a former Distributor, so we always have your interests and success at the forefront of our priorities. See what our clients are saying about us and keep reading to learn how you can maximize your success with BrightStores.
Maximize Success with Simple Stores & Redemption Sites
Discovering which store type will work best for your clients needs will greatly increase your success! If you are in need of a pop up shop for any occasion, Simple Stores and Redemption Sites are the way to go. A few examples of uses for these types of stores would be for Fundraising, Seasonal Shops, ordering Sports Gear, and any type of temporary store. The best part? You can start as many Simple Stores as you need at only fifty cents per order. We also make sure you are equipped with DIY Instructions if you decide to build your own Simple Store, or you can let us handle it all by choosing a Turnkey Store. Our expert team of Storebuilders will ensure you get exactly what you want. Redemption Sites are very similar to Simple Stores, with the key difference being that the end user must have a code to enter the online storefront. Payment will also not be collected during checkout since Redemption Sites are best used for collecting orders for gifting programs.
Maximize Success with Company Stores
If our Simple Stores aren’t quite complex enough for the online shopping experience you’re looking for, Company Stores are next level. They are completely customizable and robust enough to handle all of your clients promotional products with ease. Company Stores will work best for a more permanent store that may have more products and categories than a single page Simple Store would. Company Stores work perfectly for something such as an ongoing Corporate Employee Store for branded apparel or a Uniform Store. When considering Company Stores, you will enjoy Full Promo eCommerce Sites, Home Page, Category Pages, and Product Pages that are included with this platform. Company Stores are ideal for larger programs where more permissions, add ons, and integrations are necessary. Since Company Stores range from Basic to Advanced Store, there is literally a store that can be tailored to your clients every need.
Best Integrations To Maximize Success
Our Simple and Company Stores may be two very different and unique platforms, but what they have in common is incredibly powerful integrations. Whether you’re looking for a smoother payment and checkout option or you just want to automate your store with your favorite applications, we can guarantee we have what you need! And if we don’t, you can leave us a suggestion in our Help Center. Let’s talk about some of our most popular integrations that can help boost progress in all of your stores!
Zapier
Zapier is a tool that helps you automate your repetitive tasks between two or more applications. Zapier will automatically trigger each application when a particular action happens within the platform. For example, you can use Zapier to update a Google Sheet every time an order is placed in one of your Company Stores. The best part? No coding knowledge required!
PayPal
PayPal is a simplified payment solution designed to give shoppers a seamless checkout experience. Even if they don’t have a PayPal account, they can use a connected debit or credit card! This integration also provides enhanced security and various checkout options such as Pay Later, Cryptocurrency, and using your current PayPal Balance! Once you’ve gone through the simple set up process, you’ll start receiving payments instantly. Sounds pretty good to us!
Quickbooks
We are always looking for ways to simplify how you manage your clients orders. This integration helps eliminate manual entry, enhance cash flow, and reduce errors overall by updating your numbers and orders seamlessly.
As you can probably imagine, we have some pretty unbelievable integrations that can help you be successful! For a full list of integrations in Simple and Company Stores, check out our Integrations page.
