Square up doesn’t wanna help me build up my site so I’m looking for a good e-commerce website that I can make sales, and that my team manager can login keep track of their own sales. I tried working with Square app but they don’t seem to have this program just have basic generic websites for selling products and that really helping customers in today’s needs

Hello @Excustomer thanks for your post. I appreciate your question, but have to say that's like walking into McDonalds and asking where's a good place to get a burger. Chances are they're going to say "right here!". Pretty much the same answer you're going to get; while working with Square websites can be challenging, you're in the correct place to get help, if you're willing to put in some work. There are tons of other small business owners in the Square Community here, and we love helping out other small business owners.

 

Is your question about how to technically build a website/pages in your Square account? Or are you talking about getting traffic to your website and making more sales? Two different issues here. The first one is doable by asking questions right here in the community, and searching help articles on how to build your website pages. As far as the second issue...if you're struggling because nobody is coming to your website and buying your product, you're going to have that challenge no matter who you go to host your website. you could go to Shopify, GoDaddy, etc any of the website hosts...they cannot and will not automatically bring customers to your website. Unfortunately it is not a "if you build it, they will come" scenario. This is a matter of studying analytics, keywords, and seo optimization. <<<< Check out the link over there for some tips on that. Please know that obtaining website traffic is a huge challenge, even for the BIG players in e-commerce. Just imagine how many websites are out there in the Internet world and how many choices people have to shop! It can be daunting but stick with it and start small or more local.

 

Do you offer local delivery? Sometimes it's a good start to look for customers in your local town or city and get yourself known. Either newsletter advertising or even in-person events or craft shows. You may be able to set up a table in a local event or partner with a retail store. You can show your items in person and hand out your business card and online website address. Word of mouth is great to create new business contacts.

 

While launching a website can happen in a matter of hours and be LIVE on the Internet, unfortunately it does take time to create a steady stream of traffic to your website. Try to be patient and network with friends and new contacts as much as you can. Good luck to you!
