With Belbo, you can create an online product shop so that your customers can purchase products online. This way, you generate additional revenue and offer your customers great added value.

Requirements for the Online Product Shop

The following settings are required to use the Belbo product shop:

1. The products to be sold have been created. You can create your products under Settings > Prices & Skills > Products.
2. The stock is maintained. In the product shop, your customers can only purchase products that are in stock according to your inventory.
3. Your online payment is fully set up. An active Stripe or Paypal merchant account is set up under Settings > Online Payment.

Example of a product shop:



Setting Up the Product Shop

1.) Activation

Activate the product shop under "Settings" by entering the term "Product Shop" in the search field at the top of the page or by clicking the "Add Feature" button.



2.) Configure Settings

• Shop Preview: Click the preview button to go directly to your shop. Once set up, you can share this link on your website or on social media to draw your customers' attention to it.
• Introductory Text: Create an introductory text for your product shop.
• Shipping Method: Choose whether you want to ship your products to your customers or have them pick up the products at your store.
• Payment / Shipping Costs: Depending on the shipping method you have chosen, you can set the shipping costs here or specify whether the customer can also pay on-site.
• Permitted Countries: Specify here which countries you can ship your products to.

4.) Edit Email Text

A confirmation email is sent to the customer upon a product sale. This can be customized under Settings » Product Shop » Confirmation. If applicable, address any special circumstances here, such as your opening hours in the case of self-pickup.



Images and Description Texts for Your Products

You can add images and text to each of your products to explain the product in more detail.



Description Texts
To add a product description for your customers, you can click on the desired product under "Product List" and add the text under "detailed description".

During booking, the customer can get information about the product directly.



Image
To make it easier for the customer to select a product they may already be familiar with, or to give them an idea of the form of presentation, you can add an image to the product.





Integrating the Product Shop into the Online Booking Page

In addition to your website and social media, you can also link the shop on your online booking page. The footer and the information page are particularly well suited for this.

Please note: The product shop was developed very quickly for you as part of the coronavirus-related lockdown, in order to provide you with an additional source of income and give you the opportunity to strengthen customer loyalty even while your business was closed.
As a manufacturer of online booking calendars and point-of-sale systems, however, we cannot offer the full range of features found in well-known shop systems. We are constantly developing Belbo further, but we ask for your understanding that we will not be developing the product shop based on the model of other shop systems.
