Ecommerce Websites

An Ecommerce store is a website that sells products and services. For a live example review our clients website, Francine G. This is the type of ecommerce store that The Spider India Web Design can design for your business. This store sells art sculptures and pictures but can be modified to sell any type of product. This ecommerce store is easy to use for a beginner and has a web based admin panel which allows customers to easily maintain the store themselves. Through the stores admin panel you can easily add new products, delete products, change prices and more with just a few clicks!

If you have made your mind up that you want to sell your products and services on the Internet, you have to think about how you will accept payments. You have a couple of options here. A Merchant Account, Payment Gateway with a Secure Web Certificate will allow you to accept credit card payments directly from your web site (with a shopping cart).

For smaller businesses with few products, The Spider India recommends opening a sellers account with PayPal or 2Checkout. More information about each ecommerce provider is provided below:

PayPal is a service which allows people to send and receive money safely and securely. It allows you and your customers to exchange money through a neutral source. You simply open a PayPal account (for free), and place "buy me" buttons on your web site. For a live example review our client, Francine G store. You customize each button to contain the cost and shipping. After a successful sale, you will receive an email to notify you that you have received an order and the funds have been deposited into your PayPal account. Next you can fulfill the customers order. Once the order has been shipped, you can mark the order as shipped an an email will be deliver to your customer to let them know that their product is on the way. Once you are ready to remove funds from your PayPal account you can deposit money into your bank account. It only takes a couple of days. You can also request that a check be mailed to you. PayPal makes it very easy to do business online.

With 2Checkout you make one payment of $49 and can accept credit card payments from your website or send payment requests via email. For each sale that you make you pay 5.5% plus .45 per transaction. If you don't make any sales, you don't have to pay anything. Similar merchant services can cost much more than this, so 2Checkout is your best bet. You receive your money twice a month via direct deposit into your checking account. Visit their website for more details.

>> Sign up for a 2Checkout account

More options would be to have the customer send you a check or a money order in the mail or sending funds via Western Union.

The Spider India Web Design recommend giving the customer more than one payment option to make it easy for them to buy and so that you don't miss out on any sales. You may view our web template store as an example of an ecommerce store that uses both PayPal and 2Checkout.
