Sales on e-commerce sites are growing at a rapid pace. Shoppers are increasingly turning to websites rather than going out. The change of shopping habit is partially for convenience and partially because it is easier to check multiple websites for what you want rather than running around from shop to shop. Regardless, if you haven’t already, it is time to get your e-commerce shopping cart up and running. Here is a basic rundown of the steps:
Information – First get all the information you need in one place. For example, The product pages of the website will require images, descriptions, and categories. Lots of companies do not have most of this information available, so it saves a lot of time to get this together first. Talk to your cart provider and get a list of everything they will need.
Payments – Any shopping cart e-commerce operation needs to accept payment from credit cards. Talk to your bank or choose one of the many online payment gateway providers. Keep an eye out for long payment periods or higher per-transaction rates. If you cannot afford the hit on your margin, consider other providers.
Implementation – The next step is to add all the products and categories. Adding everything in your inventory can take some time and requires maintenance. Whenever you discontinue a product, remove it from the side to avoid confusion. This step includes changing the design of the cart to match the look and feel of your website. Shoppers will go from one to the other and should not notice a difference.
