The store that also does the paperwork
Aspire Commerce runs a storefront for the public and a trade desk for business accounts from one catalogue. Quotes, contract prices, net terms, bank transfer and freight rates are part of it, in English and French.
Every store starts with 14 days of everything. No card needed to start.
Two counters, one catalogue
The walk-in customer and the account customer shop the same catalogue. What differs is the price they have earned and how they pay.
The public counter
- A storefront on your own domain, in English and French
- Search by part number, with filters for brand, category and price
- Card checkout on your own Stripe account
- Sales tax worked out for the delivery province
- Flat delivery prices, or live freight rates from your own docks
- Customers sign in with an emailed code: no password to forget
The trade desk
- Company accounts with admins, buyers and spend limits
- Contract prices and quantity breaks for each company
- Quotes with versioned offers and optional lines
- Supplier price requests on a page that never shows your customer
- Orders on account with net terms, invoices, reminders and statements
- Bank transfer, with every payment a line in the ledger
- Quick order: paste part numbers and quantities straight into the cart
Rules the system keeps for you
These are not settings. They hold on every order, for every member of staff.
- No price goes under your floor
- Every price is held at cost plus the card fee. A price typed under it is refused, whoever types it.
- The browser never sets a price
- A cart holds the item and the quantity. Every page and every checkout prices it again from your catalogue.
- A supplier never sees your customer
- A supplier prices your request from the lines, the date and the delivery area. An offer whose note or added lines name a supplier is stopped before it is sent.
- Money moves ask twice
- Refunds, recorded payments and credit terms need a two-factor code from the last 10 minutes.
- Your store's data stays apart
- Each store is fenced off inside the database itself, and every change your staff make is written to a log you can read.
- A missed bill never costs you your data
- A store that stops paying drops to the Free plan. If it shows more products than that plan covers, the storefront pauses until it is trimmed or paid for. Its console, catalogue and orders are untouched.
