Thinking of Adding eCommerce Capability to Your Business?

Online Sales are the New Black

The advent of simple, secure payment systems such as PayPal and ecommerce behemoths such as Amazon and ebay have normalised online purchasing and payment.

The reduction in personal mobility through regional lockdowns have served to strengthen the trend for online shopping.

Does your business provide products / services that can be sold online and you would like to explore the possibility of benefitting from ecommerce?

Or do you have an ecommerce solution already that is not working for your business?

Rather than throw all their eggs into a single basket, many businesses would like to add an online component to their existing website rather than committing to a single purpose shopping cart service.

If you have an existing WordPress website then we can bolt eCommerce to your website in a timely and cost-effective manner.

If you have been thinking of moving to WordPress and you would like to add eCommerce to the project then now is a great time to start planning your upgrade.

Some Simple eCommerce Questions to Consider

As with any online experience it is essential that you put your customers first.

The means research into how they search for your products and services and where they search for them.

Some simple questions that you may like to consider are as follows;-

  • How do we segment / categorise our products and services? What are the variations for our products? Do they affect the price?
  • How do we set our pricing? Do we include discounts? if so, how are these calculated?
  • Do our products have specific shipping requirements? Are the dimensions unusual or do the products weigh a lot?
  • Where are we shipping our products to? Will there be differences in freight charges? How will these be calculated? Can we outsource to a shipping specialist?
  • Which payment gateway(s) will we use? For bank direct do we currently have a merchant account? What payment types will we accept?
  • Are we selling downloadable products? How do we securely allow only the purchaser to download the product and not pass on the link?
  • What additional marketing services would we like to add with our ecommerce website?
