A marketplace can support your mission

Social sector organizations can benefit by adding a "marketplace" to their website.

The benefits

Some of the features which are available include:

  • Offering online memberships, saving client entered information in a member & donor database.
  • Creating "members only" access to particular areas of the website.
  • Selling premium content publications to site visitors.
  • Offering organizational merchandise to members and visitors.
  • Automatically calculate shipping costs via suppliers like UPS and Canada Post.
  • A sample online store
