Having an online product catalog is crucial in today's world as it acts as a second window display for your products and prices. In Malta, people often like to browse products online first before making a purchase, and some even prefer to buy online. iLabMalta has been offering online product catalogs and shopping solutions for a few years now. Read on to learn what we offer, what's included, and how much it will cost you. Should your online catalog be connected to your Point of Sale system? The best solution is to have your online catalog or shop fully connected to your Point of Sale system. This way, you only need to input your products once in your Point of Sale system and the stock quantities in your shop will be continuously updated online. This helps you avoid the embarrassment of selling out of stock online. iLabMalta offers a complete package, including our Point of Sale system (iLabPOS) with hardware, fully integrated with an online shop. If you don't want to invest in a Point of Sale system, we can provide you with just an online shop. However, if you already have a Point of Sale system that is not iLabPOS, full integration with our online shop will not be possible unless you make a significant investment.

Naturally, preparing your online shop will take you alot of effort to collect pictures, product descriptions, collect products into sub-categories, etc... However our part is ready and waiting! Do I need to be a programmer to manage it? No. Most of our clients are like you. You need to be a little tech savvy of course, such as, capable of looking up a picture online and resizing it, but nothing major and nothing you are not able to learn. Furthermore we offer one to one hand-holding sessions for those who find it harder to startup. How are other retailers doing with an online shop in Malta? All our clients will tell you the same thing. People come to their shop because they saw a particular product on the website, and they liked the price. Maltese are still very hesitant to purchase online as they want to touch and feel. However the online catalogue still served it's purpose. What is important is that customers know that you sell a particular product, know that you have it in stock, and know how much it will cost them. What will it cost? Monthly Fee - EUR 35 incl. VAT |
