What do I need to know to build a eCommerce Site?

You can build an eCommerce store within a few days. Below are a few platforms that you can use. Choose one of them.

1. Magento
2. WordPress
3. OpenCart
4. BigCommerce
5. Shopify

Just go to Google or YouTube and search, "How to make an eCommerce store with [One of the above platform]"

You will find tons of free tutorials.

As you are new, I would suggest you to go with WordPress because it is very simple to use and you can build a basic eCommerce store within a few hours.

Hope this helps.

Have a good day

 

If you are going to sell physical products open an amazon store and you will get traffic the same day cuz amazon already has the google juice and loyal customers.

 

You can use a pre-designed template for your eCommerce. I've seen many interesting ready-made templates on Templatemonster website. I'm going to download one to create a website for my car insurance business. You can check it out too!

 

First i appreciate your work, About your question just i say if you want to sale cloths , wedding dress etc you should must visit your competitors website

 

If start-up, i think WooCommerce is the best choice. It is a plugin of Wordpress so owns a variety of plugins, extensions. Plus, free to download and install, and easy to use, even for beginners with little technical knowledge.
If you dont satisfy with your current choice, i think you should choose another, with Litextension shopping cart migration tool which help you boost sale efficiently.

 

of course its woicommerce but some might BS you about what they don't know..

 

Test before you invest

Have you ever started a new site or project, threw a bunch of time and money into it and only to find that no one cared? I’m pretty sure most of us have been in some variation of that situation before.

This is an easy problem to solve. Before you go crazy with your new site, test it to see if:

There’s interest in your product or niche
Your offer converts
So how do you do this? Start with a blog.

 

Step 1: You should decide on what you want to sell
Consider the price, availability, profit margin, shipping size and last but not the least, the passion. It's easier to sell and build a strong relationship with your customers if you love and know your products very well.

Step 2: Find manufacturers
Make sure to find one with great products as you identify what to sell. You can check out Google Shopping and build a list of manufacturers (I suggest that you start with small suppliers) and then reach out to them. There are manufacturers that has local permit requirements so get those prepared.

Step 3: Set up your Website
Choose an all-in-one eCommerce platform that will manage your store from the website design, products (marketing, order management), customer retention, and secured shopping. It's best to have it automated so you can focus on the next steps to grow your business.

Step 4 : Proper Marketing strategy
No marketing strategy suits for all products, you should have your own way of promoting in online or offline. so do some swot analysis and try to create a word of mouth impression on product.

 

First you need to set up your site, the easiest way to do it is with Wordpress, then install a e-commerce plugin, the most popular one is WooCommerce since it automaticallt comes with PayPal, then a theme that supports a shopping site, I recommend ZerifLite for beginners. Finally decide what you want to sell and create products...

Woocommerce with Wordpress and their extensions, and Yith extensions are great IMO

 

An ecommerce site set up can be reasonably easy, get a decent hosting account, good domain name and then install wordpress and get a store plugin such as Woo Commerce, or even get a dedicated shop application like Prestashop, bit un-intuitive in parts, but you can be up and running with your store in under half an hour, most host accounts have ecommerce platforms you will be able to install. Then build up from there. Just remember to also buy a decent checkout application, or in fact get a free one such as Paypal
