I have experience in developing a wide variety of ecommerce sites, from customized stationary to event registration, to selling clothes. I've worked with Miva Merchant, Ecometry, Yahoo Merchant Solutions and many others. I've worked with installed and hosted systems, and live payment networks. I've worked with inventory control, tying together a website with call centers and warehouse management software, such as UPS world ship and others.
To get started, we'll need to establish how you're doing business now and see what the current systems require. If your store is using a system which can be easily integrated with a shopping cart via XML or other technology, it might be pretty easy. For many businesses, setting up a stand-alone store makes most sense, with humans doing the needed updating of inventory and such.
So, as usual, first comes analysis, then some research to find the very best system both for development economy, and for long-term success.
I want to be absolutely sure that the ecommerce site is one you can live with for day-to-day business as well as bring in sales revenues. |
