Selling online without hiring a developer
A no-code site builder lets you publish a full store in an afternoon, without writing a line of code.
What selling online actually requires in Canada
Every Canadian online store needs clear terms of service, a privacy policy, and PIPEDA-compliant data handling. GST/HST calculation varies by province, so a store that handles this automatically saves real headaches. Card payments and Interac dominate Canadian online transactions.
