Selling products online

What kind of products can I sell on my website?

You can sell physical products or digital products. Our customers are currently selling handmade clothing, jewelry, eye glasses, pet tags as well as ebooks, audio downloads, video downloads, and everything in between!

What happens when I make a sale?

You can set your email settings so that you'll receive an email notification containing the date and time of the sale, as well as the items purchased and total sale amount. You can view more order details by logging into your website dashboard. If you are selling physical products, simply package up the order, send it to the shipping address provided, then mark the order as "Shipped" within your website dashboard to keep track of things.

I want a website but I have no idea what to sell online. Can you help?

No problem! CityMax.com integrates with a full service drop shipper company. A "drop shipper" is a company that give you instant access to millions of wholesale products that you can easily add to your website and offer to your customers. As soon as an order comes in from your website, the drop shipper ships the product to your customer and they also deal with any returns. You don't pay for your products until you make a sale, and you never have to stock inventory or deal with shipping!

Can I get someone else to take care of shipping?

Absolutely! As we mentioned in the answer above, we integrate with drop shipper services that will automatically fulfill your orders and ship products to your customers. Drop shipping is a great option if you're just starting out, since you don't have to deal with the hassle and expense of stocking inventory or shipping packages.

Accepting payments

Can I accept credit card payments on my website?

Absolutely! The fastest, easiest way to start accepting online payments is to activate the PayPal plug-in that comes built into your new website. This takes just a few seconds and you can start accepting credit card payments instantly. Or, if you prefer, you can use one of the other payment processors we are integrated with.

What is a "payment processor"?

CityMax.com does not handle money but we do integrate really nicely with several payment processors that do. A "payment processor" like PayPal lets you accept online payments without a merchant account of your own. Instead, they let you use their merchant account, usually with very little setup required.

What methods of payment can I accept on my website?

This depends on the payment processor you choose. With PayPal, you can accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and payments from other PayPal accounts. You can also offer your customers the option to phone or fax in orders, or mail money orders and checks.

Can I accept manual payments?

Yes. When you activate your online payments, you'll have the option of collecting your customer's payment and order information to process your orders manually through your own credit card terminal, or by logging into a virtual terminal like PayPal.

What currencies can I accept?

This depends on the payment processor you choose. If you choose PayPal, you can accept payments in US dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros.
