ClarensSelling online from Clarens
Clarens is Montreux’s residential and shopping district, between the rue du Lac and the heights of Chailly. Hairdressers, physios, garages, private schools: businesses people look for on their phone first.
Local shops, healthcare practitioners, craftspeople and schools. Many have products that travel well: an online shop opens up French-speaking Switzerland to them without opening a second store.
What a shop needs to do in Clarens
Display prices including Swiss VAT, offer the payment methods your customers use, calculate shipping by zone, allow in-store pickup in Clarens, and notify you of every order. The rest — photos, product pages, promotions — is managed from a simple dashboard.
Custom-built or off-the-shelf platform
Custom-built to keep control of design and speed; on an off-the-shelf platform when the catalogue is very large or you already sell on marketplaces. The quote compares both.
