Less Competition
We proactively manage our vendor base to ensure your products are highly visible to our engaged customer community. Join a marketplace where your business has room to grow, with less competition and more focused customer traffic. Unlike larger, more crowded marketplaces, our platform does not allow vendors from other countries to sell their products on our website. By ensuring a fair playing field and mitigating vendors with a competitive edge, this strategy serves to optimize competitive dynamics for your business.
Targeted Market
Supporting Canadian businesses helps build a more resilient economy that can withstand external pressures and economic fluctuations. The fact that many Canadian citizens are changing their buying habits and willing to support Canadian vendors, Ocanova becomes the perfect partner for your business.

Ocanova can significantly help your business by expanding your reach and providing you with a 24/7 digital storefront with a global presence.
Explore the key benefits that give Ocanova an unparalleled market edge.
Dedicated Canadian Marketplaces
To maintain our exclusively Canadian focus, only Canadian-based businesses are permitted to sell on our platform. This strategy strongly resonates with Canadian consumers and helps foster a loyal customer base eager to support Canadian businesses across the country.
Free Shipping
All prices listed on Ocanova must include shipping. Statistics from various reports consistently show that customers highly value and expect free shipping, often making it the decisive factor in their purchase decisions. 62% of online shoppers say they will not complete a purchase without a free shipping option and unexpected shipping costs are the leading cause of shopping cart abandonment.
Tailored Menus
Our website features menus allow customers to filter products by their origin, including those made in Canada, within a specific province, or products shipped from a specific province. This means Ocanova shoppers can easily find your products, regardless of whether they are domestic or imported.
Product Identification
Every product's country of origin claim or content claim will be clearly identified. When you add products in your Store, you will have to assign the correct abbreviation for each product. This will help shoppers find the products they are looking for, therefore improving their shopping experience.
Vendor Identification
A customer will be able to know if you are a manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, importer or individual seller. This knowledge can sway consumer decisions and draw them toward your products.
Faster, Reliable Domestic Delivery
Your customers will shop confidently knowing every purchase is shipped within Canada. We require all vendors to maintain an inventory in Canada, ensuring consistent quality and speed for our customers by eliminating cross-border complications.
We provide the services you need for a smooth transition and effective management of your Ocanova Store.
