Set up your new online store in Fresha to:
- Impress clients with a professionally designed store
- Offer clients delivery or pick-up options
- Collect online payments with Fresha Payment Processing
Create your Fresha online shop easily and quickly
It’s natural to want to impress clients, so any salon or spa worried about needing the right technical skills to create a professional-looking online shop needn’t be concerned.
Fresha has made it simple and intuitive so that any salon or spa can have a fully functional store in minutes.
“With just a few clicks, you can personalise your online store by adding logos, a store name and description, and even add social links,” says Fresha co-founder Nick Miller.
“In no time at all, your clients will know that you’re now selling the products you use in professional beauty services and treatments online.”
Adding products to your online store couldn’t be easier. Fresha, formerly known as Shedul, recommends taking high-quality images to showcase products at their best. Fresha provides guidance with a dedicated blog to help you take really beautiful product images.
Tell your clients about your new store
Once your store is set up, it’s time to let your clients know. With a unique link generated for your store, it’s easy to promote on social media, and by using the marketing tools available within the Fresha platform.
You can also offer clients the choice of collecting their purchase from the salon or spa, reserving it for when they attend their next appointment, or you can ship items directly to their home address or workplace.
Online payments that are easy, contactless and upfront
With Fresha Payment Processing ensuring smooth and seamless payments for your online store, partners receive money upfront, and of course, it’s contactless.
And if for any reason a refund needs to be processed for a purchase made on your online store, that’s easily done at the click of a button.
When activated, Fresha simply charges a transaction fee of 1.29% + 20p, so partners only pay as they sell.
William Zeqiri, Fresha chief executive and founder said: “The potential for online retail in the beauty and wellness industry is huge, and many salons and spas have yet to take advantage of that. Fresha Store is a big step in the right direction, as we’ve made it easy to create a store within Fresha.
“As part of our feature mix, it means our partners have everything in one place, which simplifies their business lives too.
“Their clients are comfortable shopping online with other retailers and e-commerce businesses and it’s become a big part of our lives as shopping trends change. Beauty and spa businesses need to be part of this transformation and now they can with Fresha Store.”
