Catholic store Brabander | Online sales

The Brabander religious articles online store is finished. After several months of development, we can finally say that our online religious store is ready to be visited.

The new online store of religious articles has been created thinking of priests, brotherhoods, parish priests, nuns, and other people from the religious or lay world who wish to buy all kinds of religious articles online.

Technology and tradition: catholic store

The religious store of Religious Articles Brabander responds to the demands of our customers. Many priests, brotherhoods, etc... wanted to have access to our catalog of religious articles through the internet .

After evaluating all the possibilities, we have realized that having an online religious store is an ideal complement to our paper catalog and our store. In this way, starting today, you can already buy religious products in   our online store.

At Brabander Religious Articles we bet on the future without forgetting the past. Our religious online store is a step forward but always keeping in mind those customers who prefer more traditional methods of purchase.

With our new website we facilitate the acquisition of our products to customers who usually buy religious articles from the United States , Mexico, Argentina, the Philippines, etc...

New online catholic shop, new possibilities

Technology advances at an unstoppable speed. Every day new devices and applications come onto the market. Some of these novelties have come to stay, they make our day-to-day life easier and have a practical use that we all recognize. With this mentality we have devised our online religious store. A tool that serves so that anyone can get the religious articles they want.

Online religious stores have their own characteristics that represent great advantages over the catalog of religious articles on paper. Within these features we can highlight: more religious products, articles for special celebrations, news and offers of updated religious products, article search engine and sorting filters.

Unlimited catholic products

One of the strengths offered by the new religious store is the number of articles that we can present. We currently have an online catalog of religious items with more than 1,500 items.

In our paper catalog we were able to fit over 400 items. In other words, in our online religious store we have for sale more than three times as many objects as in the 64 pages of the paper catalogue.

The online store has almost unlimited capacity. In fact, every week we upload new articles . For this reason, we recommend that you visit our online store from time to time. More specifically the new section of religious articles , surely you will find something you like.

Online religious store, items for special feasts

In our online store we always try to be up to date and actively participate with all the events that are celebrated in the Church.

It is known by all that, for example, in 2015 the Jubilee Year of Saint Teresa was celebrated, commemorating the 500th anniversary of Saint Teresa of Ávila.

The Holy Year of Mercy, proclaimed by Pope Francis, also began. To commemorate the Jubilee Year of Mercy as it deserves, in Brabander we put on sale ornaments, such as the Holy Year chasuble or stole with the official logo of the Year of Mercy .

In our online store we can create special sections in which the ornaments of special events have a place.

News and updated offers in our online store

As mentioned in the first point, the presentation of new religious articles is common in our online store. More than a habit, in Brabander we want to consider it as a goal. The constant search for new designs for goldsmithing, new embroidery for our chasubles and stoles, new materials for religious imagery, etc...

Exactly the same can be said for offers. It is a way to reward visitors to our online store. Take out offers of religious articles for a limited time. Objects at very competitive prices that can be an opportunity for brotherhoods that need to change some of their processional lanterns, or for a parish that has to renew a candle holder and wants to start using electronic lanterns, ...

The paper catalogue, once printed, can no longer be modified. For this reason, news and offers are not reflected on its pages.

Find the products with the search engine

One of the points in which we try to work more energetically is the search engine of our online store.

The search engine of our online store is one of the very useful tools to find any item you are looking for. It is located at the top right of our online store.

Major and minor religious articles

Catholic tabernacles for sale | Online store

The search engine of our religious store shows the main articles of the search and other related ones.

For example, if what we want is to buy a tabernacle for our parish, we will do the following.

First of all we will enter the word "tabernacle" in the search engine.

In the search results, our online religious store shows you the tabernacles that we have for sale. You can also see other articles related to tabernacles, such as boxes for tabernacle keys, tabernacle supports, etc...

Search by various criteria

The search engine of our religious store allows the search with several simultaneous criteria.

Continuing with the previous example, if we want to buy a bronze tabernacle. In the search engine you must write "bronze tabernacle". It is not necessary to enter "the bronze tabernacle" or "the bronze tabernacle" in the search engine. You do not need to put prepositions or determiners. Only the most relevant words.

The results that the web will show for "bronze tabernacle" will be the tabernacles that have bronze and all the related religious articles that contain bronze.

If you wish, you can enter more search criteria , for example put " bronze marble tabernacle ", looking for those tabernacles that contain bronze and marble in their manufacture.

If in any search with two or more words our online store does not show you results, we recommend that you eliminate any and try again. You will surely find what you are looking for.

Search for religious products by reference

If you know the code or reference of the item you want to buy, you can enter the number in the search engine. Our online store will show you the item directly.

In summary, in our online store of religious articles you will be able to find the products you are looking for quickly and directly, searching with various criteria and viewing the related articles.

Advanced filters in our catholic web

As we have seen in the previous point, updating the search engine allows you to quickly find any religious article. If you are looking for a stole, simply put a stole in the search engine, or go to the stoles section in the category of liturgical vestments.

Once we have found the stoles, which one will we choose? . In principle, we will choose the one that best suits our needs. Saying this is obvious, we always choose those objects that can solve a need that we have at a specific time. If you need a stole to celebrate the Immaculate Conception feast , you may be looking to purchase a Marian stole.

Having this clear, in Brabander Religious Articles we have used technology to facilitate the selection of an article within its category. The method used has been advanced filters.

Advanced filters are a tool that allows you to sort the items in our online store according to different criteria. Specifically, the criteria we have created for our religious store are:

  • Sort by ascending sale price : Sorts the religious articles of a certain category by putting those with a cheaper price first. At the end, those objects with a higher price are placed.

  • Sort by selling price descending : sorts the items by putting those with a higher selling price first.

  • Sort by Name - Sorts religious items based on name. The first to appear will be those whose name, following the alphabet, are in first place.

  • Descending order by name : sorts the objects of a category or search following an inverse criterion to that indicated in the previous point.

  • Sorting by date of registration : religious products are structured following a time criterion: the date of registration in the online store. Items that have been in our virtual catalog for the longest time will be found first.

  • Sort by date of registration descending : the religious products that have been put up for sale most recently will be presented first.

New categories of catholic products

We have introduced a large number of novelties in the design of our online store. One of the most important has been the new categories we have created:

  • Religious statuary (Easter Holy Week steps, images of the Virgin, crowns and halos,...)

  • Liturgical vestments (chasubles, albs , dalmatics, capes, altar cloths, altar sets,...)

  • Religious metalware (chalices, ciboriums, shrines, monstrances, etc...).

  • Parish and Easter brotherhood consumables ( Paschal candle candles, candles, liturgical charcoal and aromatic incense , liquid paraffin,...).

  • Church furniture (benches, altar tables, Via Crucis, etc...)

  • Easter products (processional lanterns, banners, etc...).

  • Catholic gifts (Christmas nativity scenes, paintings, etc...).

  • Lamp stands and electronics (electric lamps, coin counters, etc...).

Each of these categories is divided into families of articles in which you can find all the brotherhood products and for your parish that you are looking for.

The families are arranged in alphabetical order, that is, within the "Liturgical Ornaments" section, you will find the "Chasubles" family after the "Albs" family but before the "Cíngulos" family.

Catholic tabernacles for sale in United States

Religious goods stores in the United States

Within the international sales of our online store, we remember with special affection the purchase from a priest from the United States, located in New York.

For a long time, said priest had been searching in religious stores in the United States for a tabernacle that he liked.

After much searching for stores in the United States, the priest found a Tabernacle in our online store that he liked a lot, the gothic bronze tabernacle (the one you can see in the image that accompanies this paragraph).

The priest had never made a purchase in a religious store outside the United States, and for him, this was a problem. This discouraged him a bit, he did not want to make the purchase without being very clear about how the sales process worked.

I had a priest friend who used to buy religious articles in stores outside the United States. He contacted him and explained the situation: he wanted to buy a bronze Tabernacle for his Church, but the store that sold it was outside the United States.

His friend encouraged him to get in touch with us, explaining that he wanted to buy the Tabernacle and that he lived in the United States. Depending on the response, you could assess the experience of the store in shipments to the United States. And, if he was convinced by the professionalism shown by the store, he could make the purchase with total confidence.

The priest contacted the Brabander Religious Articles store . He explained to us what he had related, in short, he wanted to buy the Tabernacle in our store and receive it in the United States. At that time, just before launching the current version of our religious articles website, with our old online religious store we encountered two fundamental problems in order to help the priest.

Old religious stores, shopping payment methods

The first was the method of payment from the United States. At that time, our online store did not allow payment by card . It was a great limitation because it was the way in which the priest from the United States wanted to make the payment. For the priest it was very important to be able to make the payment with the card. We solve this first problem with our current online store. It allows you to pay for any purchase with a card. It also has security measures guaranteed by Visa both in Europe and in the United States.

The second problem we encountered was the shipment of the Gothic Tabernacle to the United States. This Tabernacle model has very voluminous dimensions, 79 cm. high, 37 cm. wide and 30 cm. background. In addition, you must add between 5 cm. and 10 cm. to each dimension corresponding to the special wooden packaging we use for shipments to the United States. Until then, the shipments that we had made to the United States had been of small packages. We needed a new transportation agency that would guarantee the delivery of large-volume packages in the United States. After comparing different alternatives, we reached an agreement with the company UPS, specialized in managing sales from European stores to the United States .

Once these two fundamental problems are solved, we send the answer to the priest. Our reply convinced him. Soon after, he made the purchase through our online store and paid by credit card. The priest from the United States placed his trust in us and he was not wrong. He received the Tabernacle in perfect condition and in three days since the package left Spain.

Religious articles stores in the United States, payment with American Express

The story of the priest from New York is one of many that we have experienced in our store with buyers from the United States. Throughout these years we have had the opportunity to sell religious articles to many customers in the United States through our online store.

Not long ago, a person from Florida contacted our online store through the Brabander Religious Articles Facebook account.

This buyer told us that he had tried to buy one of the religious articles from our online store. The entire sales process had gone very well until the moment of payment. When he was going to finalize the purchase, he tried to make the payment with American Express , a widely used card in the United States and in the rest of the world.

Our online store of religious articles did not allow you to complete the purchase. At that time I did not have the American Express payment option activated.

We have to say that this problem is also solved. Our buyers from the United States , and from the rest of the world, can now buy in our religious articles store and pay with their American Express .
