How It Works

We handle all the technical setup. You focus on running your business.

1

We Set Up Your Store

We provision your store on your own subdomain (yourbrand.ecstores.ca), set up your branding, and walk you through connecting your own Stripe account from your client portal (a few minutes, on Stripe's own secure onboarding). Then we hand you the keys.

2

You Add Your Products

Log in to your merchant dashboard — a clean, simple admin panel. Add products, set prices, upload photos, manage categories. No coding, no FTP, no confusion.

3

You Start Selling

Share your store link. Customers browse, add to cart, and check out securely. Payments land in your Stripe account. Orders appear in your dashboard, ready to fulfill.

Everything You Need to Sell Online

ECStores comes fully loaded — no plugins to buy, no add-ons to maintain.

Product Management

Add products with photos, descriptions, pricing, and categories. Growth and Pro plans add product variants (size, colour, style) with individual stock levels per combination.

Secure Stripe Payments

Accept credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Funds land in your own Stripe account on Stripe's normal payout schedule — we never hold your money. Fees are stated plainly under Pricing: a flat monthly plan and no platform fee from EastCoast WebCraft on storefront sales; Stripe's processing fees apply.

Order Management

All your orders in one dashboard. View order details, update fulfillment status, and track what's shipped and what's pending — no spreadsheets required.

Shipping & Tax Rules

Configure flat-rate shipping on any plan. Growth and Pro unlock weight-based pricing, free-shipping thresholds, and per-product separate shipment costs. Canadian tax handling built in — HST, GST/PST configured for your province.

Branding Studio

Upload your logo, set your brand colours, and customize your storefront — no design skills needed. Your store looks like your brand, not a generic template.

Wishlist & Accounts

Customers can create accounts, save items to their wishlist, and view their order history. Returning customers buy more — we make it easy to come back.

Mobile-Optimized Storefront

Your store looks great and works properly on phones and tablets — where most of your customers will find you. Browsing, cart, and checkout are built for a thumb, not just a mouse.

SSL Secured & Hosted

Your store runs on secure, managed infrastructure with HTTPS included. No server management, no security patches to apply — we keep it running so you don't have to.

Managed by EastCoast WebCraft

Your subscription goes through your existing EastCoast WebCraft client portal. One bill, one contact, one team. And your store dashboard is one click away from your client portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

None at all. ECStores is designed for business owners, not developers. If you can use Facebook or send an email, you can run your ECStores dashboard. We set everything up for you — you just add your products and manage orders.

Through your own Stripe account. During setup you connect it from your client portal — Stripe's own secure onboarding, a few minutes. When a customer checks out, the funds go straight to your Stripe balance on your normal payout schedule; only Stripe's processing fees are deducted at checkout (there is currently no platform fee from EastCoast WebCraft), and we never hold your money.

Your store will live at yourbrand.ecstores.ca — using the name you choose during setup. For example, if you run "Harbour Gifts," your store could be at harbourgifts.ecstores.ca. It's professional, memorable, and secured with HTTPS.

Not today. There is currently no platform fee from EastCoast WebCraft on storefront sales. Stripe's standard card processing fees (typically 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction) still apply and go to Stripe, not to us. If we ever introduce a platform fee, it will be shown on this page, our terms cap it at 5%, and you will get at least 30 days' notice.

Initial store setup is typically completed within 1–2 business days of receiving your store details. We'll send you a link to your dashboard, help you connect your Stripe account from your client portal, and walk you through adding your first products.

From your client portal, any time. An upgrade starts today: you pay the new plan's price now, the new plan is active immediately, and a new billing cycle begins — no proration. A downgrade works once your products, staff accounts, and media storage fit the smaller plan. Prefer to talk it through first? Just contact us.

Yes. ECStores is month-to-month with no long-term contracts. If you decide to cancel, let us know before your next billing date and we'll export your product and order data for you. No lock-in, no penalty fees.

No. You set up your store yourself from your dashboard, and Stripe walks you through connecting your account. Prefer that we do it? Our Store Setup Package is $399 one-time: we set up your store, load up to 25 of your products, connect Stripe with you and train you for 30 minutes. Anything beyond that is billed at our hourly rate, quoted up front.

Yes — that's what it's built for. If your studio runs on our Studio Platform, ECStores is your merch store: linked from your studio site, paid into the same Stripe account, managed from the same client portal, on one monthly bill. It works just as well on its own for any shop.

No. ECStores is our own platform, built and run by EastCoast WebCraft — no plugins to update, no app-store add-ons, and no marketplace between you and your customers. You get a clean dashboard and a storefront that carries your brand, not ours.
