Contractor Commerce is a plug-and-play ecommerce solution designed for contractors in the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. It allows businesses to integrate an online store into their existing website to sell physical products, service agreements, and full system installations.
The platform is designed to handle the logistical side of product sales; for example, it stocks and delivers air filters directly to customers with the contractor's branding on packing slips. It also includes tools for lead qualification through interactive questionnaires and supports automated monthly payments for membership plans.
Buyers should note that the service requires a 12-month commitment after an initial 30-day period. It is designed for trade businesses that want to offer a digital shopping experience without managing a warehouse.
