Choose a domain name (yoursite.com), sign up with a web host to build your site, then you can add the payment system to your pages. How Can I Make My Store Website Look Good? We can make your new online store website reflect your exisiting logo and color schemes. If you don't have these yet, we can help choose professionalbackground and accent colors for your ecommerce site and create your logo. How Can I Accept Credit Card Payments Online Through My Website? We recommend PayPal when you're starting out. It's easy to use and extremely popular. Authorize.net is another popular payment processing solution that we recommend. Both of these solutions allow you to accept credit cards online through your website. How Should I Determine Shipping Costs? Leave exact shipping-cost calculations -- both to you and your customer -- to the carrier you use. We can help you setup shipping cost calculators on your website so both you and your customers know EXACTLY how much shipping will cost on each sale. How Do I Create the Best Product Images and Descriptions? Make sure to use crisp, clear product images. You don't have to hire a photography professional, but you should invest in a 16-megapixel DSLR camera, decent lighting and a light box. A photo lightbox is a tent-like container with several light bulbs aimed at its interior that photography professionals often use to create well-illuminated images of objects. Product descriptions should be short, yet rich with enough interesting details to pique customer interest. In addition to noting the price, you may want to include product uses, dimensions and other defining characteristics. How Will I Start to Attract Customers Online? Offer tons of tips and guidelines (via blog posts and social media) related to the products you sell to help draw in search engine traffic. From these search-engine-friendly pages you link back to your online store. This is much more effective than just trying to promote a stand-alone store.
