Feature Highlight: Build an Online Marketplace

Achieve Your eCommerce Goals with CommuniBee Suite

Take your fundraising initiatives to greater heights by building an online marketplace through CommuniBee Suite. Whether you are a parent-teacher association looking to sell school uniforms, a senior-serving organization managing a frozen meal program, or simply an online business looking for an eCommerce platform, we give you the tools to succeed.

As an administrator, CommuniBee Suite’s Marketplace dashboard provides you with a seamless avenue to track every order and product in real-time. Each product can be uniquely configured by setting its available stock, max purchase count, base price, SKU, and any applicable taxes you need to collect.

To make the day-to-day administration easy, you can track your revenue through real-time charts and graphs, offering a comprehensive overview of your marketplace’s performance. Simply put, you can keep a pulse on all the key metrics that drive your business forward such as gross revenue, transactions, customers, inventory, refunds, and more.

When it comes to managing order fulfillment, we have you covered! At any time, you will be able to mark orders as picked up, delivered, or if need be, create manual orders on behalf of your customers. Further empower your decision making with detailed reports accessible directly from the dashboard and available for export. These reports include inventory lists, order details, and transaction details.

Marketplace Dashboard

We all know an online marketplace cannot succeed without customers. CommuniBee Suite helps you craft an exceptional customer experience by categorizing your products, simplifying filtering, and ensuring your customers easily find what they’re looking for. Your users will enjoy a smooth and intuitive experience by navigating through categories, previewing merchandise, adding items to their cart, and completing transactions online through a payment provider of your choice (Stripe Connect, Stripe Non-Connect*, Square*, PayPal*).

Further enhance the checkout experience by offering customers the option to pay with their eWallet – an easy and convenient method that allows customers to settle orders using their rechargeable digital wallets. Communities can also accept deferred orders if they want customers to be able to place an order and pay later.

But the benefits do not stop there. Elevate your marketing strategy by featuring specials on your products. These specials allow you to offer discounts on individual items or entire product categories, which is an effective way to boost sales. Take specials to the next level by showcasing these discounted products or categories across various pages of your website, or by integrating them into engaging news posts.
