Want to create an online store? No matter what they say, it’s complicated. I should know. I’ve built a few! But where do you start?

We suggest you start with the all-in-one solution at Bluehost: The ‘Online Store’ and ‘Online Store + Marketplace’ plans.

What are the new eCommerce plans?
Both ‘Online Store’ and ‘Online Store + Marketplace’ bring together the power of WordPress, the versatility of WooCommerce, and the simplicity of YITH plugins. So, what does this mean? Simply put, it means you have an all-in-one solution. The plans allow you to quickly set up your online store and sell your products anywhere and everywhere.

But that’s not all! You can also schedule calendar appointments, ship new customer orders, and manage multi-channel inventory with the new eCommerce plans. In other words: everything you need to run a successful, online business.

Who benefits from the new eCommerce solution?
Everyone! These new plans will address the needs of every small business looking for an easy selling experience. That’s also why Bluehost chose WordPress. It’s a flexible and powerful tool that allows you to customize your store so it suits your needs. Plus, you’ll quickly be able to work with it!

You can see what’s happening at a glance, and easily keep track of your inventory without having to log into multiple dashboards.
