Local online marketplace for Wednesday launch

A local online marketplace, aptly named Online Guyana (www.online.gy), is set to be launched on Wednesday, December 9, 2020. It is aimed at offering Guyanese companies an option to transition to selling their products online.
As the world, and Guyana adjusts to the effects of the global pandemic, more companies have been shifting their businesses online. However, this is not always an easy and straightforward process. Business owners must spend a tidy sum on the development and maintenance of an online store.
Online Guyana removes these costs and the monthly overhead, replacing it with a small, flat fee. Registered businesses can list and sell unlimited items. The website has inventory and order management features to assist the companies in managing their online shops.
Business owners directly manage their online shops registered on Online Guyana. They receive orders placed for their products; package and ship to happy customers. The customers are updated automatically when their order status changes and can log into the website at any time to check on their order or contact the company.
Online Guyana showcases multiple products from small and medium-sized businesses in various categories including electronics, clothing, hair/body care, and gifts – customers can also share reviews on their purchases. The website is easy to use and is accessible via computer and mobile phone.
Customers can save time by accessing a wide variety of items from different Guyanese companies. They can browse specific categories, keep things they like in a wishlist, and ultimately purchase using several options, including cash on delivery (COD) or GTT’s MMG+ service.
Online Guyana is working to implement credit card processing very shortly. It has opened for early business registration and already has over 60 local businesses. Free business registration is offered until June 1, 2021.
