For this past few years, many business owner and researchers agree that the age of business especially retail is shifting to e-commerce rather than brick-and-mortar store. This resulted in a drastic increase in online store as well as online marketplace such as Lazada, AliExpress, JD, Shopee, and many more. Selling with your own online store has numerous advantages over e-marketplace, including enhanced branding, personalized shopping experience, direct customer engagement, and increased loyalty. However, building own storefront has several challenges such as costly design and development fees and required coding knowledge, not to mention server and resources cost to keep your storefront operating. With the latest iSeller release, those challenges are things of the past!

In this post, I’m thrilled to announce the availability of iSeller Online Store which lets you easily build your own storefront with over 50 professional-quality themes. Featuring world-class user experience, iSeller sports a powerful theme editor so that you can customize the storefront to your liking, all with just simple click-and-pick — absolutely no coding required. More than just product catalog, iSeller puts together integrated payment and shipping carriers that you can select in just a few taps, making selling online as easy as 1-2-3.
