You Should Consider Osimart","starting-a-new-commerce-business-you-should-consider-osimart","\u003Cp>Starting a commerce business today requires much more than simply putting your products online. You need a fast, user friendly, SEO optimized website that gives customers a seamless shopping experience. Beyond your website, you need reliable inventory management, secure payments, powerful analytics, marketing tools, social selling, hosting, security, and ongoing support. Managing all of this through different platforms, developers, freelancers, and third party apps can quickly become complicated and expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>This is exactly what Osimart was built to solve.\u003C\u002Fp>","\u003Ch2>Run your entire commerce business from one platform\u003C\u002Fh2>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Osimart is a commerce platform built for merchants who want to sell online, in person, or across multiple channels from one place.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Instead of having separate tools for different parts of your business, Osimart brings everything together in one platform and one plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>With Osimart, you can manage your inventory, sell through your online store and social channels, accept sales in physical locations, understand your business through powerful analytics, and manage your marketing from one place.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>The goal is simple: give merchants everything they need to start, manage, and grow their commerce business at the most affordable price possible, without the complexity of building and managing a complicated technology stack.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2>Get everything you need in one plan\u003C\u002Fh2>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>One of the biggest problems with many commerce platforms is that the features you actually need often sit behind higher tier plans, additional apps, or third party services.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>As your business grows, your monthly bill grows with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>With Osimart, the idea is different.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>ALL IN means exactly that. One plan that includes the tools a modern merchant needs to run their business. You do not have to constantly ask yourself which plan you need to unlock a feature or which additional application you need to install.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>You get the platform, the tools, and the infrastructure you need in one place.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>That includes online and in person selling, unlimited products and variations, inventory management, business analytics, social commerce, email marketing, customizable  SEO optimized storefronts, payment integrations, shipping capabilities, B2B and B2C commerce features, unlimited staff accounts, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2>Get advanced commerce without the advanced price\u003C\u002Fh2>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Many established commerce platforms charge a high price for their advanced plans, while their basic plans often do not even include the features a growing business needs. Once you add the necessary apps, integrations, and services, the cost quickly adds up.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Features that are available as part of advanced commerce plans elsewhere can cost merchants thousands of dollars when all the required services and tools are taken into account.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Osimart brings these capabilities together for $17 per month when billed annually.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>And the savings do not stop at the subscription. Osimart charges 0% in third party payment provider transaction fees, so merchants keep more of every sale. Platforms such as Shopify can charge up to 2% on transactions processed through third party payment providers, on top of the payment provider's own fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>That means a new business does not need a massive technology budget just to access the tools it needs to compete. You can start with the capabilities of an advanced commerce platform while keeping your technology costs significantly lower.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2>Skip the technical headaches\u003C\u002Fh2>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Launching an online business should not require you to become a developer or hire one.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>It should not require you to learn how to configure servers, modify complicated code, fix website issues, or constantly search for someone who can make a small change to your store.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Relying on freelancers for every technical change can create another problem. Sometimes they are available, sometimes they are not, and a small website change can turn into days of waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Agencies can solve some of these problems, but they often come with high costs, ongoing fees, and long timelines for even simple changes. Building your entire store with AI can also sound like an easy solution, but turning AI generated code into a reliable, secure, and fully functional commerce business can quickly become complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Osimart is designed to remove that complexity.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>You get the tools to build and manage your commerce business without needing to write code for every change, hire an agency, depend on a freelancer, or figure out how to build your store with AI. Your store, products, orders, customers, analytics, marketing tools, and other commerce operations are managed through one platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Instead of spending your time trying to understand technology, you can spend it building your business.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2>Build your store without the wordPress hassle\u003C\u002Fh2>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>WordPress and WooCommerce have helped millions of businesses start selling online. However, building a serious commerce operation on top of a general purpose content management system can also introduce additional complexity.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Themes, plugins, updates, hosting, security, compatibility issues, backups, performance, and maintenance can quickly become a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Osimart was built specifically as a commerce platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>It is not built on WordPress.
