But this is only scratching the surface.
To properly answer the question “what is KitCart?” it’s helpful to first understand that - Kitcart is not just another storefront builder or just another tool to list products online. KitCart is the complete "Kit" small business needs for their Cart. Whether you need to get a simple e-commerce website up and running today or you want to go under the hood yourself and build a unique shopping experience, KitCart is built to help you regain the freedom to scale and set your business on autopilot.
If you’re still wondering what you actually get when you sign up for KitCart, the rest of this article explains just that.
What is KitCart?
Kitcart is a cloud-based eCommerce website builder that helps small businesses sell products to customers around the world. The subscription-based software allows small businesses to set up an eCommerce website and sell their products to anyone and everywhere. KitCart merchants can also sell in physical locations using KitCart POS, our point-of-sale system to record their walk-in sales.
How Does KitCart Work?
KitCart works by unifying all of your commerce into a single central command centre. If you’re a KitCart merchant with both an online and physical presence, your inventory and stock get synced so you can manage your store(s) from one account, on any device.
With KitCart, merchants can build and customize an e-commerce website and sell in multiple places, including web, mobile, social media, online marketplaces, brick-and-mortar locations, and pop-up shops. KitCart also has features to manage products, inventory, payments, and shipping.
KitCart is entirely cloud-based and hosted, which means you can access it from any connected compatible device and we’ll handle software and server upgrades and maintenance for you. This gives you the flexibility to access and run your business from anywhere with an internet connection.
On any given day, a business owner needs to showcase products, engage with customers, get paid, ship a product, and manage their day-to-day finances and operations. Some businesses use different tools to manage each of those activities and spend a lot of time and money stitching disparate systems and data together.
Alternatively, a commerce platform groups those technologies together and becomes the base upon which other applications, processes, or technologies are developed. In other words, Kitcart offers all of the business tools you’ll need in one, familiar place. And then we ensure that you can easily access and integrate any other business tools you want or need to make KitCart work for your business.
