Business ecommerce buying tips
Ecommerce Buyer's Guide
Double check compatibility.
Before signing a contract or buying any business ecommerce software, make sure that your IT staff
and the developer or ecommerce service provider all agree on the components that need to
work together: your existing inventory systems and web site, your merchant account, the
ecommerce system, any customer service apps, etc. Experienced business ecommerce vendors can make almost any
combination of tools work, given enough time and money - just be sure you understand how
much of each it's going to take.
It's not free money.
The days of just putting up a business ecommerce site and watching it make money are
gone: don't launch with unrealistic expectations. You'll need to advertise your site (online
and off) and build up a customer base, just as in any business: it's an investment that
will take time to pay off.
Make it easy to use.
If the shopping process is too complicated, you'll lose customers. Make sure
your products are organized the way customers think about them - not necessarily the way
you think about them.
Plan ahead.
Running your new store will require time and effort - make sure you plan for
regular updates and promotion.
