So you are ready to start selling your products online, but did you know there is more than just magic in programming that make a complete eCommerce website? Below I will list a few points to every eCommerce site that are crucial for success.
Online payment transactions, through a service such as PayPal or stripe will allow simple and secure transactions between the user purchasing on your site and depositing funds into your bank account.
Adding an extra layer of security, protects your customers data being transmitted to and from your server. By purchasing and installing a SSL certificate, you are building a wall of security around your store that users will identify as trustworthy and secure.
Are you offering a digital product, or an item that you need to ship? Shipping is another important aspect to your store. Whether you decide to ship exclusively with a vendor, or choose the cheapest vendor for a specific transaction. Determining your shipping options before you begin to make sales online will reduce your headache in the future.
