Introduction of the service

How do I build an online store? Where shall I get started…no technical knowledge, how will I figure out which will be the right service provider for my business????

We wanted to build an online store to kick start a side business with the dream of growing it into a full-time income.

“Don’t let all the tiny details paralyze you from building your business. You will never have all the answers.

But we can tell you one thing based on our experiences, is that whatever your answers are to these questions, more often than not for most businesses, they will continue to change and evolve as your business grows.

“I MUST get all the details PERFECT before starting….”“Everybody tells me to plan EVERYTHING out before press the start button.”

Nowadays, you can build your own ecommerce online store for a set, transparent, monthly fee. If you want to stop using the service, you can walk away at any time.

Every ecommerce solution that you review will have similarities and differences. If you are paying your provider in a foreign currency such as US$ then factor in the exchange rate and the fees for a foreign currency that will be charged for each monthly payment by your credit card provider.

What you should look for:

  • Location of hosting and support
  • Inclusion of additional transaction fees
  • Limits for annual revenue or sales
  • Availability to use a private SSL certificate
  • Limitations in storage or data transfer
  • Total cost of ownership

When you're starting out; that's mainly because the 3rd party processor is so widely known as a secure system for accepting online payments.

  • While there aren't any sign-up or fixed monthly charges for PayPal's basic service. PayPal's seller fees "can really add up quick." PayPal sellers pay a 2.9 percent transaction fee on the total sale amount, plus a 30 percent fee per transaction.
  • Still, many shoppers prefer to pay for online purchases with their own credit cards rather than use PayPal or other third-party payment processors.
  • You can obtain a merchant account with each individual credit card company.
  • Many charge fees per transaction ranging from 20 to 50 percents, plus a percentage of the total purchase amount. Some also charge monthly, quarterly and annual fees.

It's often easier and more accurate to leave exact shipping-cost calculations -- both to you and your customer -- to the carrier you use.

  • The major carriers will calculate shipping costs for you for free, and most major ecommerce vendors allow you to integrate those costs into your store's checkout section.
  • On the other hand, you may want to consider offering free shipping, at least for orders over a certain amount.
  • If your direct competitors provide free shipping, Peterson suggests that you consider it, too, if you can afford it.

  • Try to select an ecommerce vendor that offers free self-service analytics, often driven by Google Analytics, and other reporting tools to help you track your store's performance over time.
  • These can tell you how many people are visiting your store and how often, where they live and how they found you.
  • They can also show you which websites drive the most traffic to your store and which products customers look at and purchase most and least often.

Your online store is a sales channel and acts like a sales person for your business.

There are costs which will not be covered in detail such as:

  • Warehousing
  • Logistics
  • Traditional marketing
  • Business taxes
  • Accountant and financial institution fees
  • Rent and utilities

You costs will generally be based on the size of your inventory, what your business does and your overall requirements like features, design, multi-channels, social and mobile.
