Online Store & E-commerce — Questions & Answers

Yes — Web by Lods.AI can set up selling online by integrating your site with an e-commerce platform, rather than building a full shopping-cart store from scratch. Your website shows your products, prices, and details beautifully, and we connect it to a proven store or checkout tool so customers can actually buy. Tell us what you want to sell on a free preview and we'll scope the right setup.

We don't build a full shopping-cart store from scratch as a standard package — instead, Web by Lods.AI integrates your website with a dedicated e-commerce platform that already handles carts, checkout, and payments reliably. That way you get a proven store engine plus a custom site built from your real photos, without paying to reinvent something the platforms do well. We scope and quote the integration to fit what you're selling.

They can — Web by Lods.AI enables on-site payments by integrating a payment-capable e-commerce or checkout platform into your website, so customers pay without leaving your page. We connect the payment tool rather than building the checkout ourselves, which keeps it secure and reliable. Bring us the products or bookings you want paid for and we'll scope the setup.

Yes — when you want customers to pay on your site, Web by Lods.AI integrates a checkout platform that supports the local rails your customers already use, including GCash and Maya. We connect the payment provider rather than building our own, so the money flow stays secure and familiar. We scope and quote the integration based on which methods you want to accept.

Yes — card payments come from the e-commerce or checkout platform Web by Lods.AI integrates into your website, since those providers already handle cards securely and to standard. We wire it into your site so the card option appears at checkout, and the provider processes the actual payment. Tell us on a free preview what you sell and we'll scope which checkout fits.

Yes — connecting to a store platform like Shopify is exactly how Web by Lods.AI handles selling online: we integrate your custom site with the platform instead of rebuilding a shopping cart ourselves. Your website stays the beautiful front door built from your real photos, and the platform runs the products, cart, and checkout behind it. We scope the integration to how you already work.

We can point customers to where you already sell — Web by Lods.AI links your website to your existing Lazada or Shopee storefront so shoppers who land on your site can buy through the channel you already manage. We don't run those marketplace listings for you, but we make your site the clean hub that funnels people to them. Tell us your links and we'll wire them in.

Yes — every Web by Lods.AI site includes a 24/7 booking form, and when you want to collect a deposit or downpayment with the booking, we integrate a payment-capable checkout so the customer pays as they book. The booking itself is standard; the paid-deposit step is the integration we scope for you. That's a great way to cut no-shows on higher-value appointments.

Absolutely — showing your products, services, or catalog clearly is standard on every Web by Lods.AI site, built from your real photos with names, descriptions, and prices laid out for customers and for search engines. That display works whether or not you sell online; if you also want people to buy from the catalog, we integrate a checkout platform on top. Start with a free preview and we'll lay your catalog out for you.

Inventory tracking lives in the e-commerce platform we integrate, not in the website itself — Web by Lods.AI connects your site to a store platform that already manages stock counts, variants, and out-of-stock states properly. We wouldn't rebuild inventory logic when proven platforms do it well; we integrate one and connect it to your site. We'll scope which platform fits your product range.

Yes — putting your full menu or price list on the site is standard for Web by Lods.AI, laid out cleanly and written so both customers and search engines can read every item and price. No app to download, no PDF to squint at — it's right there on your page, always current. If you later want people to order or pay from that menu, we integrate a checkout on top of it.

Yes — Web by Lods.AI can add Messenger and WhatsApp order buttons that open a chat with your products or menu ready to discuss, which is how many Filipino shops already take orders. WhatsApp click-to-chat setup is a ₱2,500 one-time add-on (Meta charges separately for messages); Messenger links are standard. It's a low-friction way to sell before you commit to a full checkout.

Yes — delivery areas, cut-off times, fees, and how to order can all sit clearly on your Web by Lods.AI site, written so customers and search engines both read them easily. That's standard content, no online store required. If you want delivery fees calculated and charged at checkout, that lives in the e-commerce platform we integrate for you.

The checkout itself is run by the e-commerce or payment platform Web by Lods.AI integrates into your site — those providers handle carts, payment security, and order confirmation to a standard we wouldn't rebuild. Our job is to connect it cleanly to your website so the flow feels like one seamless experience for the customer. We scope which checkout fits and wire it in for you.

A website presents your business — services, prices, hours, photos, booking, and contact — and turns searchers into calls, visits, and appointments; an online store adds a cart and checkout so customers pay for products right there. Web by Lods.AI builds the website as standard, and when you need to sell online we integrate a store platform on top rather than building the cart from scratch. Most local service businesses convert brilliantly with just the website plus a booking form.

There's no fixed e-commerce price because we integrate rather than build a store from scratch — Web by Lods.AI scopes and quotes the setup based on what you're selling, which platform fits, and how you want to get paid. Your website plan stays as it is; the online-selling integration is quoted on top once we understand your products. Show us what you want to sell on a free preview and we'll price the integration honestly.

Yes — service packages, prepaid bundles, and gift cards can be sold online through the checkout platform Web by Lods.AI integrates into your site, the same way products are. Your website displays the packages clearly, and the integrated platform handles the payment and confirmation. Tell us which offers you want purchasable and we'll scope the setup on a free preview.

For most local service businesses, a website is enough — a Web by Lods.AI site shows your services and prices, takes 24/7 bookings, grows your reviews, and gets found on Google and AI, which is what actually drives calls and visits. You only need an online store if customers must pay for physical products on the spot; then we integrate a store platform on top. Start with the website that wins you customers, and add selling later if you need it.

Yes — cart functionality comes from the e-commerce platform Web by Lods.AI integrates into your website; we don't build a custom cart ourselves because the platforms already do it reliably. Once integrated, customers add items, review the cart, and check out without leaving your site. We scope which platform fits your products and connect it cleanly.

Yes — when you're selling online, Web by Lods.AI sets up and connects the payment gateway through the e-commerce or checkout platform we integrate, so you don't wrestle with the technical wiring yourself. You'll still open your own merchant account with the provider (that's yours to own), and we handle connecting it to your site. We scope which gateway fits and get it live with your store integration.

Yes — reservations run through the 24/7 booking form on every Web by Lods.AI site, and for paid pre-orders we integrate a checkout so customers can reserve and pay in one step. Simple free reservations need no extra platform; pre-orders that collect money do, and that's the integration we scope for you. Either way, customers can lock in before they arrive.

Web by Lods.AI integrates with proven, established e-commerce and checkout platforms rather than a home-grown cart, and we match the platform to your products, budget, and how you want to get paid. The point is to give you a reliable store engine behind your custom site, not to lock you into one brand. Tell us what you sell on a free preview and we'll recommend the best-fit integration.

They can — every Web by Lods.AI site is built with clean structure and schema markup so your products, prices, and details are readable by Google and AI answer engines, whether or not you add a checkout. When you integrate an online store, that same foundation helps your product pages get found. We build the discoverability in; we measure real ranking and never promise a specific position.

Yes — if you already run a store on a platform, Web by Lods.AI can integrate it with your new custom site so your beautiful front end and your existing checkout work together, and you keep the store you already manage. We connect rather than force you to rebuild, which saves your existing setup and history. Show us your current store on a free preview and we'll scope how to link them.
