What Are SalesStores?
SalesStores allow you to create branded online ordering stores for your customers, schools, sporting clubs, teams, events, businesses, and merchandise programs.
Rather than requiring customers to contact your team each time they need to place an order, you can provide them with a dedicated online store where they can:
View approved products
Select product options and quantities
Add items to their cart
Complete the checkout process
Submit their order directly to your business
Each order is connected to Hoops and added to your SalesBoard, allowing your team to manage the next steps using your existing sales and operational workflow.
Why Use SalesStores?
SalesStores are designed to make repeat and group ordering easier for both your team and your customers.
They can help you:
Reduce repeat quoting
Minimize manual order entry
Provide customers with a self-service ordering experience
Control the products and pricing available to each customer
Make repeat purchasing faster and easier
Keep online orders connected to your internal workflow
Create a more professional and consistent buying experience
Instead of managing orders through disconnected emails, forms, spreadsheets, and phone calls, customers can place their orders through one structured experience.
When Should You Use a SalesStore?
SalesStores are most valuable when customers need to order from a defined range of products.
Common examples include:
Company Uniform Stores
Create a dedicated store containing approved uniforms, apparel, branding, and product options for a company’s employees or departments.
School Stores
Provide schools, students, parents, and staff with an easy way to order uniforms, event merchandise, spirit wear, or graduation products.
Sporting Clubs and Teams
Allow players, coaches, parents, and supporters to order approved uniforms, apparel, equipment, and merchandise.
Events and Campaigns
Offer merchandise for conferences, fundraisers, corporate events, product launches, or promotional campaigns.
Repeat Customer Ordering
Give regular customers access to their commonly ordered products so they do not need to request a new quote every time they reorder.
Customers can add items to their cart, submit their information, and complete the checkout process. Each order placed through SalesStore is automatically connected to the Hoops SalesBoard, allowing your team to manage next steps using your existing sales and operational workflow.
How the SalesStore Workflow Works
The SalesStore workflow connects the customer’s online ordering experience with your internal Hoops process.
1. Create the Store
Create a new SalesStore using a store template or build the store around the requirements of a specific customer.
2. Customize the Experience
Customize the store to reflect the customer or organization.
Depending on your store design, this may include:
Header content
Titles and supporting text
Images
Footer content
Product sections
Buttons and customer actions
Checkout options
The content and layout can be arranged to create a clear and relevant experience for the intended customer.
3. Add Products
Add the products that customers should be able to order.
Products can be added individually or sourced from the product information available within Hoops. Product variants, imagery, pricing, decorations, and additional charges can then be configured based on how the products should be sold.
4. Share the Store
Once the store is ready, provide customers with access so they can view the available products and place their orders.
5. Customer Places an Order
The customer selects a product, chooses the relevant options, adds it to their cart, and completes the checkout process.
6. The Order Enters Hoops
New store orders are added to the SalesBoard, where your team can review the order and begin the next stage of the workflow.
7. Manage the Order
From the SalesBoard, the order can progress through your normal Hoops process
This keeps the customer-facing store connected to the operational work required to fulfill the order.
The Internal Experience
SalesStores are not only designed to improve the customer experience. They also help create a more structured internal process.
Because store orders are added to the SalesBoard, your team can:
See new orders as they arrive
Track where each order is within the sales process
Assign responsibility
Use statuses to manage the next steps
Apply automations
Maintain visibility across all active orders
Move approved orders into the JobBoard
This allows the store to act as the beginning of a connected workflow rather than operating as a separate ordering system.
Key Takeaway
SalesStores provide customers with a simple, self-service way to order approved products while keeping every new order connected to your Hoops workflow.
The greatest value comes from combining a clear customer ordering experience with a structured internal process.
