Why Southbank shops and galleries need an ecommerce site in 2025
Southbank is one of Melbourne's busiest retail and cultural precincts — riverside foot traffic, tourists visiting the Arts Centre and Crown, and locals looking for gifts, art and food. An ecommerce store lets Southbank businesses capture online buyers, offer click & collect for same-day pickup, and sell outside business hours to tourists and customers who prefer shopping from their phones.
Reach more customers
Turn passers-by into online buyers and reach customers across Melbourne and interstate. Local delivery, pick-up and gift shipping expand your revenue without extra floor space.
Sell 24/7
An online store works when your shop is closed — important for tourists or customers who browse after hours.
Higher average order value
Smart product pages, upsells and local delivery options increase basket size compared to walk-in purchases.
Built to convert
We design product pages and checkout flows optimised for mobile — the main device for most Southbank shoppers.
