The process

Sign up online. Try it free for 14 days.

No phone call needed to get started, and no credit card either. Sign up, verify your email, and your store is ready to explore — you configure it yourself, or we build it for you. You only pay once you decide to stay.

1

Pick your plan and sign up online

Choose between the Starter plan ($499 +GST once you stay) — where you configure your store yourself — or the Full Setup plan ($1,299 +GST, only charged once we start building) where we build it for you end to end.

Sign up with your name, email, and store URL. No credit card, no payment details — just your email.

Prefer to skip the form and talk it through first? Email us instead — we'll have a conversation and build you a working demo before anything's invoiced. Same Full Setup outcome, just a different door in.

🖥️ The whole signup takes under five minutes. Create your store →

Verify your email and explore — free for 14 days

We send a verification link straight away. Once verified, your store is live in trial mode and ready to use. Nothing is charged during this time.

Starter: log in and configure everything yourself — products, categories, delivery zones, your Stripe connection. The admin is designed for non-technical people; if you can use a smartphone, you can use it.

Full Setup: email us your product list, delivery areas, and Stripe details. We'll build your store, import your catalogue, optimise your images, and configure everything — and let you know when it's ready to review. We only invoice the $1,299 once we start this work, not before.

📋 If you're moving from Shopify, give us your store URL and API access — we'll import your products automatically.
💳 You'll also need a free Stripe account to take payments from your own customers later. If you don't have one, it only takes a few minutes to set up at stripe.com.

After 14 days

Starter plan: your trial ends and we invoice the $499 setup fee automatically via Xero — payable by bank transfer within 7 days. Decide it's not for you? Cancel any time during the 14 days and you won't be charged anything.

Full Setup plan: there's no automatic charge at day 14 — you're only invoiced once you ask us to start the build, whenever that is.

Either way, your monthly hosting ($40 +GST) starts once your setup fee applies, not before — it's the same fee regardless of which plan you're on.

🧾 We'll also ask you to complete your business and billing details in your store settings sometime during the trial, so the invoice is ready to go when the time comes.

Go live

Point your domain to your new store (we'll help with that) and you're open for orders. Customers browse, choose a delivery date, pay by card through your own Stripe account, and you get an email notification.

From then on, we're a quick email away. Minor changes and questions are covered by your $40/month — no support ticket queues.

🎉 Your store is live. Orders come in. You get on with running your business.
What's included

Everything the platform gives you — both plans.

These features are built in whether you set it up yourself or we do it for you.

📦 Products & variants

Add as many variants as a product needs — size, colour, whatever fits. A fair use limit of 1,000 active products and 1,000 orders per month applies across both plans — see Pricing for details.

📅 Delivery date picker

Customers choose their delivery date at checkout. You control available days, lead times, and blackout dates.

🗺️ Delivery zones

Set delivery fees by area — suburb, city, or region. Different minimums and fees for each zone.

🖼️ Image optimisation

Product images are automatically resized, compressed, and converted to WebP on upload. Fast load times, no manual work.

💳 Stripe payments

Secure card payments via Stripe. You need a free Stripe account — browse.nz connects to it directly. No middleman.

📧 Order confirmation emails

Branded emails sent to you and your customers when orders are placed and when you mark them fulfilled.

🎁 Gift messages

Customers can add a gift message at checkout. You see it printed clearly on the order.

📱 Admin on any device

Manage orders, update products, and block out delivery dates from your phone, tablet, or desktop.

🌐 Your domain

Your store gets a ready-to-use subdomain — like andras-flowers.browse.nz — optimised for shopping with a free SSL certificate. Connect your own domain any time.

📊 Analytics & social

Add your Facebook, Instagram, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel from your admin settings. All configured without a developer.

Full Setup plan extras

  • Catalogue import from Shopify or spreadsheet
  • We upload and optimise your product images
  • Delivery zones configured by us
  • Stripe payment setup and testing
  • SEO audit after setup — we email you the results
  • Handover walkthrough (45 min via Zoom)
Common questions

Things people usually ask.

Do I need to be technical?
Not at all. The admin is designed for people who run small businesses, not developers. If you can use a smartphone, you can manage your store. The Starter plan is genuinely self-service — most people have their store configured within a day.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No. We never ask for card details to bill you — Starter is invoiced automatically after your 14-day trial, Full Setup is invoiced when we start the build. Both are paid by bank transfer via an emailed invoice, not card. (Your own Stripe account, which takes payments from your customers, is separate and still required.)
I'm already on Shopify — how hard is it to move?
On the Full Setup plan, we import your existing catalogue for you — products, variants, and images. You don't re-enter anything manually. On the Starter plan, you can import via spreadsheet export from Shopify.
What is Stripe and do I need to pay for it?
Stripe is the payment processor your store uses to take card payments from customers. A Stripe account is free — you pay no monthly fee. Stripe charges a small card processing fee per transaction (domestic cards from 1.7% + 30¢ NZD). browse.nz charges nothing on top of that — we take no cut of your sales.
Can I keep my existing domain?
Yes. We'll help you point your existing domain to your browse.nz store. If you need a new domain, we can sort that too.
What if I need changes after launch?
Day-to-day things — updating products, adding delivery blackouts, managing orders — you do yourself from the admin. For anything bigger, email us. Minor changes are covered by your monthly fee.
What if I want to leave?
Your data is yours. We'll export your products and order history in a format you can use. There's no lock-in beyond your monthly subscription, which you can cancel any time.
Can I upgrade from Starter to Full Setup later?
Yes — email us and we'll quote for the additional setup work. You only pay the difference.
