Almost every business can find a way to help customers access their products and services while the shutdown continues. 

If you have a brick and mortar store selling material goods: 

• Set up a WooCommerce storefront to allow customers to buy your products online.
• Offer items for local pickup, porch delivery, or shipping to remote locations. 
• Sell gift certificates to loyal customers for use when your shop is open again.

If you offer services, a WooCommerce storefront can help you sell:

• Protected content through memberships.
• Time slots for booking online appointments.
• Tickets for online events. 
• Video conferencing packages.
• Courses or group presentations with training on how to perform basic versions of your services at home with limited supplies. 

Get creative! You have skill, talent, and products your community needs. Getting these online will help sustain your business now, and expanding into new markets can help you grow when the shutdown is over.

You’ll be able to start selling right away. And once your site is up and running, there’s so much more. The plan includes:

• WordPress and WooCommerce are pre-installed, ready for you to add your products and start selling.
• Hosting optimized for WordPress, with speed-boosting CDN and PHP 7 on a clustered server platform so your store is ready for traffic spikes.
• A WooCommerce-powered online shop, with more than 34 premium extensions included. Book appointments, sell subscriptions, accept payouts, track shipments, and more.
• An included SSL certificate, an essential hosting feature for any online shop, providing security, and an SEO boost.
