I Want It!To get started, you only need a few things: a web host, a website, a shopping cart, and a way to take payments. I can provide you with all four.
1The WebsiteI can offer you two ways to do this. If you want a site that is made specifically to reflect the look of your business or organization, check out my full package, at the right.
If you want a pre-made solution, I recommend searching for a ZenCart template on the Templates page. You'll save time and money on web design this way. The template help pages provide all the information you need to get your site up and running.
2The Shopping CartUsing Zen Cart, the website and the shopping cart are one and the same. You will be able to add products, change prices, customize your shipping and tax options, as well as edit and add pages, all in one place.
If you already have a website up and simply need to add a shopping cart to it, Zen Cart is easily customizable to add right in.
3The Payment GatewayYou need this in order to take payments online. There are several options here. Some store owners choose to only accept Paypal at the beginning, as you only pay fees when you actually make a sale.
A more professional option, though, is to go with a fully-featured payment gateway. I have partnered with CDG Commerce, who can customize your rates based on your sales volume. They also offer flexible options and responsive customer service. Click the box below to get started now.
Whichever payment option you choose, this is a step you need to take, whether you choose to use a template or have me create a custom store for you.
4The Web HostShopping carts and content management systems require a database to function, so you need a hosting plan which offers this. Visit my hosting signup page and select my Business class plan to get all you need for only $60 per year.
