When it comes to creating a catalog that only uses browsing and no purchasing or offline purchases or a fully enable ecommerce website there are some things to consider. An eCommerce website can be a successful business model and offers benefits of being an online-only business. In preparing for your online eCommerce business, you need to take the time to think out a basic strategy and organize a strategy.

Items that are required consist of a merchant account, a payment gateway, a business license, an SSL certificate and you should have a logo, copy written and a spreadsheet of all of your products – complete with SKUs, descriptions and photos – ready to go. You will also need to consider a preferred shipping provider, shipping methods and rates decided upon.

We also advise you to have an attorney review the website and help you draft Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Return Policy pages. Don’t be fooled by the adds you see on TV if you’re doing it Yourself. Even if you’re building an eCommerce website via a pre-packaged online storefront, like Yahoo! Merchant Solutions or Intuit, you need to have a basic technical aptitude. Basic programming skills ARE required, but importantly, you would need to look at the design and the database integration aspect.
