What It Is

Media99 LLC provides e-commerce website services for florists. Its core offering is not a generic SaaS platform, but a package built around florist operations: custom websites, shopping carts, hosting and maintenance, a content management system, POS integration, and marketing tools. The site emphasizes that it has served florists for 25 years, with customers ranging from new flower shops to long-established florists.

Core Capabilities

Its strength lies in deep vertical features for florists: a shopping cart designed specifically for flower shops, unlimited products and categories, responsive websites, holiday/seasonal banners, email marketing materials, and the SiteWorks admin backend. The backend can manage products, multiple prices, multiple images, add-on items, categories, discounts, and order viewing/printing/emailing/faxing. For fulfillment, it supports delivery fees by ZIP code, delivery minimums, and delivery-area restrictions. It can also configure delivery dates, cut-off times, local-delivery-only rules, sold-out labels, and quantity countdowns—all of which fit well with local fresh-flower delivery operations.

Pricing and Fees

Pricing is disclosed fairly clearly: monthly hosting/maintenance is $49, the one-time setup fee starts at $399, and the transaction fee is typically $1.50 per order, or $0.75 per order for orders under $15. POS integration, product slideshows, and responsive website design are included in the package. Compared with percentage-based sales fees, its fixed per-transaction fee may be more favorable for higher-value orders, though total costs can still rise significantly during peak seasons with high order volume.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are strong industry fit, a simple pricing model, and included hosting, maintenance, and support, so florists do not need to handle complex technical details themselves. An online HelpDesk is available 24/7, phone support is available during business hours, and tutorials are provided. The downsides are that the site does not specify exact payment methods, which POS brands are supported, service coverage by country, or contract terms. The platform is also clearly not a good fit for general multi-category e-commerce or cross-border sellers.

Who It’s For and Access from China

This service is suitable for local florists that want to build an independent flower-selling website, manage holiday promotions, and handle local delivery—especially merchants with an existing physical store that need POS connectivity. The site does not provide information about access from China, so network availability and payment availability cannot be assessed. If a China-based seller only needs a general e-commerce solution, alternatives such as Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or BigCommerce may be more appropriate.
