We started Ymart for you and other entrepreneurs to liberate your creative spirit, unleash your potential and give you the true power of online commerce.
For us, small businesses the only way to gain a meaningful online presence and be competitive is to get together in order to gain size, voice and visibility.
That is the idea behind Ymart.
Ymart is a grassroots community project started by entrepreneurs who know your problems first hand. Like you we wanted to grow a successful business. Quickly we realized that not only brick and mortar but online world is dominated by big players.
This is why we launched Ymart, an online small business marketplace for small Canadian businesses, where each entrepreneur can have their own store and enjoy equal rights to compete regardless the size.
With Ymart you to run your business 100% online:
• sell your products and services
• process PayPal and credit card payments
• track inventory and orders
• communicate with your customers
Ymart is ultimately free. The only fee you pay on Ymart is 5% commission on sales. You control your inventory. Your deal directly with your customers.
How Ymart is different from the competition
Ymart is easy, simple and free. We charge only when you sell and only 5%.
