One of the challenges to consider will be how policies and procedures are put into place. This is discussed on the bottom of the page. The term e-commerce refers to buying, selling or ordering goods and services on the Internet. In today's ever changing world, it seems the way to go, how many of us have purchased a product from eBay? Whilst very successful it has its issues as well. E-commerce web sites are ideal for such things as: Products and services venue / facilities bookings, paying bills, banking and much more. There are some very sophisticated e-commerce systems that users pay immediately via credit card for items purchased online.

Here are some things to think about:

  • How computer savvy are you? 
  • Do you have good security on your computer? as you will be receiving  private information via email?
  • How will your invoices be generated Do you have a good software program that keeps records?
  • Will your bookkeeping system support online payments?
  • Have you trained your company members how to use internet on line payments?
  • Are you set up with Paypal and direct debit methods to provide secure payments?
  • So what have I got to sell?

This is where you have to visualize: ask yourself, when I go to a shopping mall what attracts me to enter into a shop? Would it be?

  • Shop front
  • Products
  • Range
  • Quality
  • Colours and Shapes
  • Pricing
  • How much should you charge?

 A good idea is to offer a discount for purchasing online to encourage people return with more sales with a strong possibility they will pass it on to friends and relatives. Remember to take in to consideration the freight and handling costs as well. What policies do you need to know? If you have not been in retail you may not be familiar with such policies as refunds, transport costs and privacy laws. A good idea is to visit Government web sites as well as the department of fair trading.
