E-commerce & Online Catalogues
BBN Labs sets up e-commerce stores and online catalogues for Canadian retailers and producers. Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom build, chosen to fit your actual volume and workflow. Convenience for us never drives the choice. We handle product pages, payments, taxes, shipping rules, gift cards and the analytics to see what's selling. Then we train your team to run it confidently.
What you get
- Platform recommendation based on your catalogue and volume
- Store setup: products, variants, photography coordination
- Payments, Canadian sales tax and shipping configuration
- Gift cards, discounts and promotion mechanics
- Click-and-collect and local-delivery options
- B2B catalogue and quote-request flows where relevant
- Analytics, conversion tracking and Search Console
- Staff training and documented workflows
- Ongoing maintenance and seasonal campaign support
What it fixes
- Customers ask if they can order online and the answer is still no
- Your products exist only in-store, invisible to anyone searching
- A DIY store half-works: taxes wrong, shipping guesswork, no analytics
- Wholesale buyers want a catalogue and price list they can browse

The honest read on funding
E-commerce projects may fit digital-adoption programs in some provinces. Ontario's retail-technology grants, for example, support qualifying projects, and similar streams exist in other provinces. Everything is subject to program rules, revenue thresholds and approval by the administrator.

Frequently asked questions
Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify when you want managed simplicity and your margins absorb the fees; WooCommerce when you want ownership, lower running costs and you already live on WordPress; custom when neither fits your workflow. We recommend against our own convenience; you get the reasoning in writing.
Can you migrate my existing store?
Yes. We move products, customers and order history where the platforms allow, with redirects so you don't lose the search rankings you've earned. We map the migration before touching anything.
