After two successful rounds which saw Shopify helping Victorian businesses start selling and growing online, Shopify is once again partnering with the Victorian Government to support its Small Business Digital Adaptation Program.
Through this program, eligible Victorian businesses will enjoy a $1200 rebate on their Shopify subscription, equivalent to 12 months’ worth of access to its ecosystem of tools and experts to help build and scale their online business.
Shaun Broughton, Managing Director for Asia Pacific, Shopify said “Shopify is proud to once again have the opportunity to support sole traders, micro and local small businesses in Victoria with the tech tools and resources needed to adapt, grow, and thrive. Schemes like the Small Business Digital Adaptation Program are crucial for incentivising business digitalisation, setting the stage for Victorian businesses to flourish amid an increasingly competitive environment.”
Shopify is also providing additional enhanced incentives including:
- An extended 30-day free trial – Take the time you need to get your store online with an exclusive extended free trial that’s double the standard offer.
- Live training and webinars – Our Victoria educational hub offers step-by-step guidance including blog posts, tutorials and trendspotting to help you launch and grow your business with confidence.
- Special offers from our robust ecosystem of partners, agencies, developers and freelancers – We have curated a wide variety of offers that range from basic setup to completely custom solutions, all the better to cater to different needs from merchants of all shapes and sizes.
- 24/7 customer support – Our support team is here for you every step of the way via chat, email, call-back, and social media.
Merchants must already have a registered business in Australia and will be provided the opportunity to choose from 14 different commerce vendors, including Shopify. Once businesses decide on their partner, they can visit the Victoria Government website to start their rebate process.
