Please note: this event is run by the Small Business Development Corporation for small business owners in Western Australia only.
Australians are doing their shopping increasingly more online. Having an online shop is a great way for customers to purchase products or book appointments for services online, which can significantly reduce the time businesses spend performing these jobs manually. However, the process of setting up a digital store can be difficult to navigate.
This session explains the steps required to set up an online shop, such as licences and software required, web design and development, monitoring sales and search engine optimisation, as well as financial accounting.
This topic covers:
- Custom develop your online store vs using a standardised platform;
- Hosting options;
- Compare mainstream Software As A Service (SaaS) options;
- Logistics of licences required, returns policies, and financial accounting;
- SEO and dominating the online space for your market;
- Branding the online store for your products or services;
- Automate for delivery of the products you sell.
This session is for people:
- Whose business is ready to launch;
- Who are in an established business;
- Who have little/no experience with online retail.

Additional information for online workshop sessions
Please check your computer's suitability for online workshops, including its sound quality, browser, internet bandwidth, speed, and video plugins (if required) before the start of the online workshop session. We recommend a camera and microphone capabilities to interact with online workshops.
Our online workshops are live, interactive sessions, similar to the format of our face-to-face sessions. For this reason, there is a limited number of tickets per session so our presenters can adequately interact with, and respond to, attendees. Recordings of these live sessions are not available if you do not attend the live event time.

No, you do not need to bring your printed ticket.
We value inclusion for clients requiring disability access and our workshops are delivered in a variety of buildings and locations. If you would like further information about accessing a particular workshop, please use the contact button at the end of this page to send us your query.
