Building an online shop: the checklist from product to DHL label

A successful online shop is more than a cart. From payment to packaging to automatic invoicing — it all belongs together. Circle has built exactly this end to end several times.

Shop technology & design

A fast, mobile-optimised shop with a clear checkout. The fewer clicks to purchase, the higher the conversion.

Payment & shipping

Common payment methods like PayPal, setting up the DHL business portal (EKP) and suitable shipping processes are essential. Circle sets up these channels completely.

Automating the document flow

Automatic invoices, delivery notes and shipping labels save time every day. Combined with tools like DATEV Unternehmen online and GetMyInvoices, the entire invoice flow is automated.

Packaging & fulfillment

From packaging design to carton suppliers to shipping — the physical product also shapes the first impression. On request, Circle coordinates the complete fulfillment.
