Are there terms I should know about before I put up an online store?

I am currently planning to venture into an online business. I have already the products, the web designer, and the prospective hosting domain. Are there terms I should know about before putting up my online store?

Hi Patricia,

there are a lot more things to consider than the small space that yahoo is providing to give you a reasonable answer. It all depends really on your shop. Do you sell just in your country? Do you sell worldwide? What are your terms and conditions for sending items abroad? What are your policies on shipping and returns? What are your general terms and conditions? Who is your targeted group of costumers? How do I spread the word about my shop? What costs do I have for search engine marketing? Do I need marketing at all? How else can I attract more costumers to my shop? Newsletters? Vouchers? Discounts? Do I have to register for VAT? Do I need special licenses for particular sorts of products? (you didn%26#039;t mention what products you sell) Those are just a couple of things to be considered when your shop has opened. As somebody above already mentioned, what pay processor do I choose? Should I have more than one? You wrote that you have a web designer, he or she should already be aware of such questions and will certainly be able to help you with this.

I wish you all the success and I congratulate you to your decission to get into e-commerce.

Best Regards,

Ralf

As a matter of fact, yes. You can%26#039;t just delve right into something without getting some background info. The same principle holds true in putting up an online store. You should be familiar with credit card processing, merchant account, discount fee, etc..

For more information, refer to the following links I listed below.

Other Replys:Besides what everyone said, you really and must know SEO- search engine optimization. The %26quot;build it and they will come%26quot; will not work unless you do it. It%26#039;s a tricky process but once you learn it, it will keep you at the top of the list in Google, Yahoo and other search engines. One thing is you have to know who your target market is and use descriptions that will make your site show up when people search for those items. I get an email that tells me what the most searched for items were each week. Believe it or not, products do not make it to the top ten usually. It%26#039;s things like game cheats, paris hilton, carmen electra, porn etc. So, in other words, our products will be way back on page 75 when people look for widgets. Best wishes with your store.

Nice day to you.

Here is my answers regarding your requirement. Wish this answers can give you some reveals how to start your own online business and bring you to success.

Make sure the products or services you are going to sell with an existing huge market. Do the market research before you start your business. A business won%26#039;t make money even he has a perfect product or service but there are no market require for that product or service.
