 | I've seen sites that I know couldn't belong to big companies have really professional e-commerce sites - is this how they're doing it? |
 | Absolutely. All of the complicated programming was done up front so that anyone can easily create an online store and seamless payment process - even with no technical knowledge.
. |
| How does this work? |
| After you create your account, you'll be able to start building your store right away using a variety of pre-installed templates, layouts and stock images. Then you'll add your product images, set your prices, and you're up and running in no time. |
| What about payment processing? |
| You've got lots of options for payment processing. Your store is prepackaged with a PayPal shopping cart that you can start using right away. PayPal allows you to take checks and credit cards, doesn't charge application fees or monthly fees and there is no credit check. You simple create and account, and collect your payment. We also have a merchant account that you can apply for after your store is set up, or you can integrate your own choice of merchant accounts.
|
| Am I going to have to set a fixed price for shipping and possibly lose money on underestimates or figure out shipping everytime someone orders something? |
| No way. That would be too much work. The point of quick shopping cart is to be simple. UPS and USPS shipping calculators are built right in for the right price every time. |
| I want to sell something online but, well, I don't have any products. |
| You're one of the many who understand the enourmous opportunities in selling products online and there are answers for you. You may want to try selling products for a company that does dropshipping or parnering with a local retail shop that is not online but would give you a percentage of items sold online.
|
| You say this works with eBay and Froogle - How? |
| You'll be able to set up eBay auctions right from inside of your store using the eBay listing tool. Froogle is Google's product search engine that require you to build and submit a formatted feed list for product inclusion. This is all built in for you and happens behind the scenes so that you can spend your time building your busines.
