Introduction to Ecommerce

• Ecommerce, or electronic commerce, is the buying
  and selling of goods and services online. With
  the increasing popularity of online shopping,
  having an ecommerce store has become essential
  for businesses of all sizes.
• An ecommerce store offers several benefits,
  including increased reach, lower overhead costs,
  and the ability to provide a personalized
  shopping experience to customers.
• In this section, we will cover the basics of
  ecommerce and provide an overview of the steps
  involved in setting up an online store.

What is Ecommerce?
Ecommerce refers to the process of buying and
selling products and services online. This can
include physical goods, digital products, and
services such as consulting or coaching. Ecommerce
has become increasingly popular in recent years,
with more and more consumers choosing to shop
online. In fact, global ecommerce sales are
projected to reach 4.9 trillion by 2021.

Choosing Your Platform

• Hosted vs Self-Hosted Platforms

Features and Functionality

Pricing and Fees
When choosing an ecommerce platform, you have two
main options hosted or self-hosted. Hosted
platforms, such as Shopify or BigCommerce, are
managed by the provider and require no technical
maintenance from the user. Self-hosted platforms,
such as WooCommerce or Magento, require the user
to set up and manage their own server, but offer
more flexibility and control.
When evaluating ecommerce platforms, consider the
features and functionality that best suit your
business needs. Look for features such as product
management, inventory tracking, payment and
shipping options, and marketing tools. Consider
whether the platform integrates with other tools
you use, such as accounting software or email
marketing services.
Ecommerce platforms typically charge a monthly
fee, transaction fees, or both. Consider the
pricing structure and whether it aligns with your
budget and sales volume. Some platforms offer
tiered pricing plans based on the size of your
business, while others charge a flat fee or a
percentage of each sale.
