    Hi all,

    I have decided to create a new online shop for computers and its peripherals. even though i have decided to target global customers i bought domain name with co.in extension in which a nice name i got. (computermall.co.in)

    I need to know merely everything about how to start a online shop without having our own stocks possible by using drop shipping and affiliates.

    I just know the method name as drop shipping and i don't know how to actually get it integrated into my shopping cart (i have decided to use prestashop as my cms). Do i need to request brands like inte1,son_,samsun_ to approve me as a reseller or can i start putting their products just like that ? if so what i need to do for that ?

    Do i need to get merchant account on visa,master for doing dropshipping too ?
    Do i need to have SSL Certificates (I think its not a must but tell me how much it affects customers reliability over my site)

    I'm mostly targeting Indian based customers who wont prefer to use credit card for online purchase they will most likely to except payment options contain interbank transfer, cash on delivery and debit cards.

    What should i do to accept debit cards ?

    I believe that you guys will give me a good direction and help me move my online business :)
    Thanks very much in advance.
