Launch E-commerce?

[Daniel]

What to think about before starting an online store? Do you need to register a company to operate an online store? What is the best payment solution for an online store?

Is it generally a lot of stress to start an online store? I know it depends on what to sell, but it is not very expensive goods.

It's like starting an regulair business except the fact that you need physical space to run your business. My suggestions is registering a company, get more info from a lawyer maybe and find yourself a good list of companies that can deliver the products you sell.

Nowadays its pretty easy to start an online store and develop your own brand. Just get a good hosting and install a reliable shopping cart software. As for your 2nd question, credit card payments should be your highest priority followed by paypal.

Then ofcourse you need to worry about shipping, taxation, etc. Offer UPS/Fedex aside from the regular mail, a lot of people prefers these services over the tedious regular mail.

Here are some top shopping cart softwares to get you started..
