Web on Mission Marketplace is a group of businesses that are hosted by Web on Mission with the extra purpose of supporting ministries. Each vendor or business has its own website. A small percentage of their sales goes toward a collective fund which supports a different ministry each month. The chosen ministry of the month sends out information to their supporters about the Marketplace members' sites. The vendors are rewarded with potential new customers and the ministry is rewarded with monetary support as customers support small businesses. It is a win-win for both parties!

How does it work for a small business (stores)?
A simple website template is set up. There are a few options of templates to choose from based on desired colors and layout of the website. You will have complete admin access to change the look and feel of your website. Design help can be contracted for an additional fee. You will be responsible for product information and inventory. You will also be responsible for fulfillment including shipping or delivery of the products and responding to questions from customers.
Questions Stores should ask (and answers)
Can I list other information about my services or store? Yes, Of course! This is your site. You can list all of your services in as much detail as you desire.
How does the ministry partner receive the funds?
The 3.5% of each sale is collected in a separate account when the order is completed online. At the end of each month, Web on Mission will give the collected percentage from all the stores to the partner of the month.
What is your turn around time?
Turn around time to set up a website will depend on many factors. The starting point for each business is different. Some already have a brand to design around and others are just getting started with designing or discovering their brand. An established business with just a few products will offer a quick turn around time while a new business just discovering their product and market will take a little more time.
