GULL LIQUOR ONLINE STORE
This private liquor store in West Vancouver sought a way to showcase their inventory online. They realized many customers were curious about specialty items or discovering new products. Often times customers may be looking for a quantity of a specific product or planning for a special occasion. With a custom designed WordPress site with a WooCommerce store, and integrated to the store POS in real time, customers can view the full store inventory and place their orders online for delivery or pick up. This tool set Gull Liquor apart from their competitors early on, and as an incredible advantage when the pandemic limited shopping experiences. Today online orders are a key part of the business model.
