Shopify is trying to make things as easy as possible for online store owners and their customers in this difficult situation. Just like them, we're with you, and we're bringing you information about the help they can offer in this difficult time.
We'll get through this together.
Gift cards for all plans and customers
Give your customers a way to support you now while also freeing up cash flow. Shopify now offers physical and digital gift cards. They are now available on all existing Shopify plans.
Local pickup and delivery
Help flatten the curve of infections while still delivering to your customers. If you can reduce the number of shipments, set up local delivery, which will be visible only to customers living in that area. Starting early next week, Shopify will let merchants using Shopify Point of Sale offer in-store pickup or doorstep drop-off.
Extended 90-day trial
You now have the option to use an extended trial. You don't have to rush, and you can use the time to move your online store to Shopify, or to set one up. Shopify is offering a 90-day trial for all new customers. If you're currently using the 14-day trial, you can extend it to 90 days.
$200 million for small business financing
In tough times, Shopify Capital can help. Shopify launched this type of financing several months ago. It helps new online stores in their early days. In this difficult period, it's one way to keep a store running. This option is now available in the USA and, newly, also in the United Kingdom. Shopify is working intensively to expand this option internationally.
Community support
Connect with other store owners. Support each other on the COVID-19 community forum.
Live webinars
Shopify has opened up community together online. The online program brings help to your business every week during this uncertain time.
