If you want to start selling online, there’s a good chance you’re thinking about opening your very own online store. But how to do it? Should you use a ready-to-go ecommerce platform or create your own system? Or maybe there’s another way and a webstore won’t be the best solution for you. This is easy to say, but if it’s your first time — it won’t be that easy to answer.

Good article. I think that for start, sellers should try to sell on an online marketplace, than to create their own website using a free shopping cart software, than, if their online store gets really big, they may buy a professional shopping cart software.

Great article. Your ecommerce website is your online store. It’s the place where you sell goods to the customer, putting them in direct contact with your brand and your products. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! :)

Your shop is indeed the place where your customer is put in direct contact with your brand and if they don't like it or have difficulties getting what they want, they may never come back. And that's why it's so crucial to have your e-shop run smoothly, whether on an ecommerce platform or not.
