1. Choose where you'll show your products
Social networks attract customers, but they're not a good place to organize inventory. A digital catalog with photos, prices, and categories gives your customer a single link to see everything.
2. Offer the payment methods people already use
Several ways to pay coexist in Mexico. The more familiar options you offer, the fewer sales you lose.
- Bank transfer between accounts
- Cash payment at convenience stores
- Card through a payment link
- Cash on delivery in your area
3. Define how you'll ship
Compare national couriers and local delivery services in your city. Publish the cost and estimated time before the customer asks.
4. Publish prices in pesos with everything included
State whether the price includes taxes and how much shipping costs. Surprise charges at the end are the most common cause of abandoned orders.
5. Use WhatsApp to close the sale
Mexican customers are used to asking and confirming by chat. Receive the order already built from your catalog and use the conversation to answer questions, not to dictate prices.
6. Learn about your tax obligations
As your sales grow, ask an accountant which regime applies to you and how to issue receipts. Doing it on time saves you trouble later.
7. Take advantage of peak dates
Mother's Day, El Buen Fin, Christmas, and back-to-school drive a lot of spending. Prepare inventory and promotions weeks in advance.
Selling online in Mexico doesn't require a big investment. With an organized catalog, familiar payment methods, and good service on WhatsApp you can start today and grow step by step.
