- SiteQC Boutique
An online store in Québec, with GST and QST already in place
Open your online store in Québec without hunting for ten plugins or hiring a developer. SiteQC Boutique sets WooCommerce up for you: GST and QST preloaded, the information the Consumer Protection Act requires at checkout, French first and an assistant that guides you screen by screen. From $6.99 a month, with no SiteQC fee on your sales.
What SiteQC Boutique handles before your first sale
WooCommerce alone comes with empty tax tables, an incomplete French translation and nothing about Québec rules. SiteQC Boutique makes those settings for you, and your store stays a standard WooCommerce.
GST and QST preloaded
GST, QST and HST rates are already entered and dated, based on the shipping province. GST and QST show on two separate lines at checkout.
A checkout that informs
Before ordering, your customers see the information a distance contract requires, including shipping fees and delays and the carrier’s name. Each rule shows its source.
French first
Your checkout, pages and admin in Québec French: courriel, code postal, magasiner. SiteQC Boutique warns you when a product has no French text.
An assistant, not a manual
Your business, taxes, payments, shipping and policies, one screen at a time. A checklist shows what is left before you open.
Card payments
Stripe, Square or PayPal: the official plugin installs in one click, its fees are shown before you choose and SiteQC Boutique checks that it is ready.
Hosted in Québec
Your customers’ orders, addresses and history stay on our servers in Québec.
How much does an online store cost at SiteQC?
The store is included from Écluse, at $6.99 a month, taxes extra. SiteQC takes no percentage of your sales: only your payment provider’s fees apply, for example 2.9% + $0.30 per payment with a Canadian card at Stripe (rate shown on November 7, 2026).
A store that lives off its sales is better on Bersimis, at $20.99 a month: 99.9% guaranteed uptime, support replies within 48 h, 20 GB for your product photos and 10 mailboxes. Compare our WordPress hosting plans, or put SiteQC Boutique or Shopify side by side.

Open the checkout
The checklist is complete? One click removes the “Coming soon” page and your customers can order.
What stays on your side, plainly
- Order emails are sent by your site: SiteQC Boutique checks whether they can arrive and explains what to fix before you open.
- Canada Post labels are not built in yet: you buy them from your Canada Post account.
- The policy templates are designed to help you comply with the law. They do not replace a lawyer’s advice, and the store remains yours.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a developer to open a WooCommerce store?
No. SiteQC Boutique makes the settings people used to hire a developer for: taxes, shipping, payments, policy pages and French. You keep a standard WooCommerce that you can extend with the plugins of your choice.
From which plan is the store included?
From Écluse, at $6.99 a month. The free Ruisseau plan has no store: no payment is accepted on free hosting. Bersimis is recommended when your income depends on the store, for the 99.9% guaranteed uptime and support replies within 48 h.
Does SiteQC take a commission on my sales?
No: 0%. Only your payment provider’s fees apply, and SiteQC Boutique shows them to you before you choose it.
Will my store follow Québec law?
SiteQC Boutique is designed to help you comply with the Consumer Protection Act, the Charter of the French Language and the GST and QST rules, and each rule shows its source. You remain responsible for your store: have a lawyer review your terms if in doubt.
Can I sell elsewhere in Canada?
Yes. HST and GST rates of the other provinces are preloaded and apply based on the shipping address.
