  E-Commerce Software – General Tools

Your E-Commerce Site - Things To Consider

When you start creating an E-Commerce website, you need to take certain things into consideration. First and foremost is that your online store should be properly organized. You need a site that is easy for your customers to navigate, unlike a vast number of online stores where potential customers find it difficult to find the products and services they need. WebBiz will start by considering the most logical navigational structure for your store – from your customers’ point of view (because they’re the ones that will be buying your products!).

The Need For Speed: Paying customers definitely do not want to be kept waiting, just as they don’t want to wait around in a conventional store. When your E-Commerce site is being designed, you should make sure that the E-Commerce software you are using, as well as the servers that your site is running on, are able to handle your site as it grows and the large volume of traffic. Nothing is worse than a website that does not respond immediately, and keeps your paying customers waiting for transactions to go through. Take it from us – if this happens, it won’t be long before they simply abandon their shopping carts to seek a faster site elsewhere.

When WebBizIdeas.com sets up your E-Commerce website, we ensure that we use the most reliable, technically robust software available.

Shopping Cart Solutions: A shopping cart is very important to your E-Commerce business, and you need to choose one that is easy to manage. It should be capable of performing functions such as inventory control and management. The shopping cart you select should also integrate different payment gateways, payment processors and shipping carriers.

Payment Processors: Of primary importance to your E-Commerce store is accepting online payments. Your online store can accept payments in a variety of ways: credit cards, debit cards, electronic cash, and even checks (via mail) - it all depends on the type of business you are involved in and your preferences.

The biggest challenge to online payments is transaction security. You need to make sure that your online payment processor is able to send sensitive information through encrypted channels, and that your customers are informed that their personal information is safe when purchasing products from your site.

To process payments online, you can either go the PayPal way, as many merchants do, or have your own merchant account, which is available through most banks. The method that you choose depends on the volume of transactions that you expect to get in your online store. Generally speaking, setting up a payment processor is quicker and easier.

Whatever you choose, your payment gateway should process the transactions quickly and be completely secure. Here are 2 widely used payment processors that our integrated into our e-commerce software:

Shipping: Deciding on a shipping carrier depends on the range of your product distribution, the cost of each transaction, and the reliability of the carrier. The online tracking feature of the shipping carrier should be able to tell you about the distribution system of the carrier.

Choosing The Right E-Commerce System

When starting your online store, you need to decide the type of E-Commerce system you wish to put in place. You can build your own system, purchase an existing system, go into a partnership with an E-Commerce system provider, or let WebBiz install the system for you.

Microsoft, and other similar companies, offer E-Commerce toolkits to enable you to build your own E-Commerce website. When building your own online store, your basic development will include bringing together a number of modules, such as the database, tax, and shipping modules. Of course, all this will consume a lot of time, and even a very basic online E-Commerce store will require at least an investment of $10,000. For this reason alone, many people prefer to consider other options.

There are a number of E-Commerce packages available from various vendors. Not all packages will have all features, and you will need to match the various features and create a package suitable to your needs. These pre-built packages come with a number of software, taking into account the various aspects of running an online store. Of course, when choosing a pre-built package you give up the flexibility you have when you build, design and develop your own system.

Many people find the third option of partnering with an E-Commerce provider, the best of the three options. When you sign up with an E-Commerce service provider, you do not need have any expertise of your own, vis-à-vis technical, hardware or software expertise. These service providers either charge a flat monthly rate depending upon the number of products in your online catalogue, or may take a percentage of your sales. Such a service handles all processing involving transactions, and may even set up an account to process payments. Though they are the least expensive, they are also the least flexible. They provide limited options, and you need to be alert as to their reliability and security.

E-Commerce Done Right

In a hurry to make money online, many E-Commerce businesses make mistakes they could have avoided, thus saving themselves a whole lot of grief. By partnering with WebBizIdeas.com, you can make sure that your E-Commerce website is done right – the first time! Online customers may be fickle but they’re not dumb, and your online competitors are not very far - only a mouse click away!

Here is the 4-point plan that WebBizIdeas.com implements to make your E-Commerce site successful:

• Website Design – In a hurry to make a ‘killing,’ many E-Commerce businesses create a very poorly designed website, with either too much information on a single page, or by listing too many items on each page – resulting in a confusing, disjointed appearance.
• WebBizIdeas will make sure that your site has a professional presentation, with a few products on each page with their pictures and descriptions. Though color and animation may make your website look elegant, too much may be ineffective and slow down your website.
• Website Testing – WebBizIdeas.com will test all aspects of your website to make sure they work the way they’re supposed to – and the way your customers expect!
• Customer Service – This is your part! You need to make sure that you provide excellent customer service. You have to give your customers the service service they deserve - or your competition will.
• Timely Delivery Of Orders – This is very important to the reputation of your online business. You can only deliver the product when the transaction is complete. WebBiz will ensure that the complete process from the shopping cart to the payment processing is seamless and smooth.

The bottom line – either you have to know how to do E-Commerce, or find someone that does. That’s where WebBiz comes in. We can either do it for you, or show you how to do it yourself – the choice is yours!
