An “online store” is a deceptively simple concept. Nearly everyone who wants an online store in 2024 has seen hundreds, if not thousands, of them. We can easily list what a store needs: product pages, galleries, a clear checkout process. 

You probably understand the back office requirements as well. Yes, there needs to be inventory management, the ability to calculate shipping costs and taxes, analytics, reporting tools for accounting, and more. 

Then, there’s the world of online hosting. Again, you can probably intuitively grasp the hosting requirements for an eCommerce store: speed, reliability, security, and the ability to scale when traffic peaks during sales. Plus, you’ll want support when you need it the most, so expert service around the clock is the most desirable. 

Moving from ideas to actually building a store, the reality sets in very quickly. Some platforms have major design constraints (which is why so many stores look similar), while others have hidden fees, or cobbled-together offerings with unnecessary features you end up paying for.

At Elementor, we want to help you achieve your store’s full potential and ensure a smooth and successful experience as you build and grow your online presence.

How do we do that? By leveraging one of the most advanced Cloud Hosting platforms in the business, featuring auto-scaling, premium SSL, and Cloudflare Enterprise CDN. This enterprise-grade infrastructure ensures your site runs lightning-fast, regardless of visitor location, making your store loved by both shoppers and search engines alike. We then pair it with powerful eCommerce tools that optimize the shopping experience.

We start with WooCommerce, trusted by some of the largest brands in the world for its open-source nature, operational ease, and endless customizability.

Then, we add the #1 WordPress Website Builder. Elementor is pre-installed in each of our eCommerce plans, allowing you to easily design your store.

Need more tools and elements to improve conversions? Our Sell Pro and Sell Pro+ plans include a premium WooCommerce theme valued at $99/year. This theme is not only incredibly fast but also boasts built-in, state-of-the-art, conversion and sales optimization tools.
