USING WEEBLY FOR E-commerce

WEEBLY:  GAVIN K. <support@weebly.zendesk.com>   (415) 375-3268

I talked to Gavin today, and he was most helpful in outlining all the options for the possibility of selling tickets online through a weebly e-commerce module, and even offered a 20% coupon off any package we might adopt; this 20% coupon would be good up until December 15^th.

Here’s what I learned:

1)      Any e-commerce module will export info to a CSV file.  Buyers would get a confirmation e-mail.  With the Business Plan, they could have the option of a) picking up at door(basically relying on the CSV file we would get) or getting the ticket as a digital-download pdf which they could print out.

2)      The first of two plans:  STARTER PACKAGE allows weebly customer to sell up to 10 products.  Payment must be through credit cards (for this you have to have an account with STRIPE).  Paypal is not an option.  

A)  $39/6 mo   $49/year

B) If the church/organization I’m working with has a paypal account and lets me use the password, I can use their STRIPE account.  Charges are the standard 2.9% + 30c/transaction + 3% to weebly.  (Any non-profit may have negotiated lower charges)

C) I could setup another STRIPE account (free?) and negotiate lower charges.

3)      The second of two plans:  BUSINESS PACKAGE

  a) $29/mo (no 3% transaction fee for Weebly)
  b) Paypal OR Credit Card(  20% discount for 1^st month) although Gavin gave us a better discount for either plan

IMPACT ON OUR TICKET SALES:

charge for this Weebly e-commerce module: $29/mo -20%  = $23.20/mo

PROFIT FROM ONLINE TICKET SALES 
        $15@-{$.335 (2.9%*$15) +30centstransactionfee} 
                 =$15-$.635= $14.365
NOTO BENE:  This is FYI, I'm neither promoting nor demoting.  Consensus.
