"How exactly does Ecommerce work"?

This has to be the most-frequently asked question I receive
from newbie clients. They know people are buying online and
they know they have to accept credit cards if they want to
stand a chance in all the net-based competition, but beyond
that realization, most are clueless as to how it all works.

I can't blame them, really. It's a confusing online world
out there and a lot of people who are trying to tell them
how it works are really just trying to sell them their own
solution. It's kinda hard to trust the validity of what they
say when profit is a huge motivating force behind their
persuasive suggestions.

And to be sure Wholesale Basketball Jerseys , there is profit in this Ecommerce game!
Money is to be made at many steps along the Ecommerce path.
With that in mind, let's take a walk along the path to
Ecommerce, and take a look at the signs--or components--that
are necessary to take part in the Ecommerce excitement and
potential profits.

1. The Merchant Account:

This really is your first step towards Ecommerce, unless
you have chosen to go through a payment facility and are
willing to give up a rather large portion of your sales in
fees. The up-front costs of a merchant account can be hefty
for a small business Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap , but the long-term savings can be
substantial.

This is especially true if you are selling big ticket items.
For instance, on the sale of a $300 productservice through
a payment facility you could pay between $20-$45 dollars or
more in fees. With your own merchant account it will
probably cost you about $9. With the typical fees and
equipment for a merchant account startup costing about
$1,500, you can recoup that cost rather quickly.

A merchant account comes with a merchant identification
number. That is about all it gets you. In order to process
transactions you need either a terminal (the little box that
you swipe your credit card through at retail outlets) or
software that runs on your PC and will dial up the merchant
via your modem Wholesale NBA Jerseys Free Shipping , and then process the transaction and deposit
the money into your bank account.

2. The Shopping Cart:

If you are selling just one or two items on your site you
won't have much need for a shopping cart. A site with a
variety of products should use the shopping cart system
because it's the easiest way for your customers to shop. The
easier it is to shop, the more they will spend, which is
exactly the psychology supermarkets use, and exactly how
shoppers are similar whether in a supermarket or scanning
through your website. And the nice thing about electronic
shopping carts is that the wheels never go square Wholesale NBA Jerseys From China , and you
don't have to send a clerk out after the store closes to
round up all the carts that have been left scattered around
the neighborhood. So shopping carts are good. But how will
they work with your merchant account and the all-important
ordering process?

If the orders placed on your site are to be processed with
the customer's credit card as a sale through your PC or
swipe erminal, then there doesn't have to be any
compatibility between your cart and your merchant account.
The two will work completely independently, each doing their
part of the job.

If, on the other hand Wholesale NBA Jerseys China , you would like all of your incoming
orders to be automatically processed for you as the customer
hits the submit button, you will need what is called "real
time processing."

3. Real-Time Processing - Almost every website company I
talk to would like to have their orders processed for them
(the vision of the owner of a website company turning on the
PC and then stretching out in a hammock, watching the orders
get processed on the screen, comes to mind). However Wholesale NBA Jerseys , most
web company people, upon learning the cost involved, take my
advice to wait until they have a steady flow of orders
coming in before they use real-time processing. If you're on
a tight budget the extra fees involved in real-time
processing might be better used to aggressively advertise
and drive customer traffic to your site. Processing a few
orders per day doesn't take very long and until you find it
to be more time-consuming to process the orders yourself
than you like, you are probably better off processing such
orders manually.

If you are starting with a healthy budget and an aggressive
promotion plan you will probably be better off implementing
real-time processing right from the start. Changing
order-processing methods can sometimes result in system
hiccups and you don't want anything to slow down your
momentum once you've started. You'll also save money Wholesale Jerseys Cheap , not
having to set up your ordering system twice.

4. Web Hosting - The web host who is hosting your site can
sometimes make a difference in how compatible your entire
site and ordering system are with each other. I say
"sometimes" because for those of us not using real-time
processing, it doesn't matter who your host is or where your
merchant account is located. They are independent of each
other. Orders arrive and you process them. No interaction
between the two is needed.

Problems can arise when you bring a shopping cart AND
real-time processing into the picture. A shopping cart alone
won't cause problems but the cart you choose to use must be
compatible with your web host. Some carts are designed to
run on certain types of servers, so when choosing on . face mask wholesale Face Mask Canada Sale Face Mask UK Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys China Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Free Shipping Cheap Football Jerseys
