Do you want to sell something online? Accept payments from customers and clients? Operate an online store selling a range of products? Welcome to the world of eCommerce.
Online shopping is a booming business – just think of eBay, Amazon and the hundreds of sites, big and small, that we all visit or know about.
There is a misconception that setting up an online shop is easy – mostly perpetuated by the companies who want you to use their shopping cart software. Sure some software is relatively easy to set up, but an eCommerce project is a lot more than just the shopping cart. Just like a real shop, there are countless considerations:
- Domain name
- Design and branding
- Layout
- Catalogue
- Features
- Currency
- Payment methods
- Payment gateways
- Security
- Hosting
- Choice of software
- Policies surrounding such things as refunds, privacy and delivery
- Suppliers and stock
- Quality control
- Order fulfilment and processing
- Website updating and maintenance
- Customer relationship management
- Marketing the business
- Competitiveness and size of your market
- Overall traffic levels of people searching for your type of product
- Copy writing
- Photography
- Postage and delivery
- And many more aspects too numerous to list.
