Web Design - Ecommerce Solutions

Selling products online has become increasingly necessary in today's marketplace. An online storefront is beneficial for a number of reasons. It gives people an idea of what you offer before they actually buy.

There are a number of questions you need to ask yourself before starting an e-commerce website.

• What type of e-commerce solution do you require?
  • Flat pages, non-interactive. Visitors must print, fax or phone the order in.
  • Single page secure order form that sends each order as an email.
  • Multi-page secure order form with shopping cart. Visitors can pick products while continuing to look at the site, change their order, preview and submit on-line.
  • Full e-commerce shopping cart with automated real time credit card processing and integrated back end database.
• What is your current level of online business and what are the expectations for future online sales?
• What credit cards will you accept? Merchant accounts should allow for taking online orders from the Internet. Please check with your bank as a violation of these policies can result in the termination of your merchant account.

Things you will need to get a full ecommerce site up and running.

• A merchant account with a bank that allows online charges.
• A payment gateway - which enables real time credit card transactions.
• A shopping cart interface - (i.e. Zencart).
• Any verification services that might be required (Age identity for purchase of alcohol for example).
