Our approach
How we would start
in Toronto.
- 01
Build for the buyer
Toronto’s customers come from all over the world, including a large South Asian community in Brampton and Mississauga, and they research online before buying. The store, its catalogue and its checkout are shaped around them.
- 02
Payments and delivery that work
Checkout set up for how people in Canada pay — cards, Interac and PayPal — with delivery tested before launch.
- 03
Launch before the peak
Boxing Day and the holiday season are the retail peaks, summer festivals bring crowds, and Diwali matters for South Asian businesses. The store is live and tested well before then.
- 01
How Toronto shoppers pay
Shoppers here commonly pay by cards, Interac and PayPal. We configure and test every method at checkout before launch.

Selling beyond one country
Shopify Markets for currencies, languages and duties if you sell outside Canada, and Shopify Plus when volume calls for it.
