How To Choose A Shopping Cart Vendor For Your E-Commerce Site Posted by nick_niesen on November 1st Cheap Lane Johnson Jersey , 2010
E-commerce has exploded on the internet and many successful businesses exist solely on the web. And why not? With a virtual storefront, the overhead costs of running a business are greatly reduced. Therefore, with effective marketing, these businesses can hang on during the difficult early stages of a new business and are less dominated by cash flow while trying to stay afloat.
One of the major reasons for the surge in online purchasing has been the convenience and security of the shopping cart feature on e-commerce sites. The virtual interface of putting things into a 'cart' has Cheap Stefen Wisniewski Jersey , at once, a comfortable familiarity and whimsy. It really is an elegant system that has won the confidence of the online shopper through its proven security.
There are many different vendors of shopping cart services. So how does one go about choosing the right one for their e-commerce site?
The very first thing you have to do is to decide exactly what, and how much product you are going to be selling. Are you selling 1 item? A line of similar items? A catalog full of many different products, and if so Cheap Brandon Brooks Jersey , then how will your site present this catalog?
What will be your volume of sales this year? Next year? In five years? Some shopping cart services are great for lower volume sales with less product variety and no catalog. Other shopping cart services allow for complex, high volume sales and catalog features.
In terms of cost of the cart service, you need to find the shopping cart option that matches your selling volume.
PayPal offers a fantastic, free-to-set-up shopping cart that is great for lower volume sales. Your fees to them are a percentage of each of your sales. In addition Cheap Rodney McLeod Jersey , you can automatically take major credit card payments without setting up credit card merchant services. This saves you $300-$400 right off the bat.
For high volume sales you may pay less going with a shopping cart vendor that charges you a monthly fee rather than a percentage of your sales.
You also need to look at the purchase process the shopping cart service offers. Potential customers abandoning the purchase because they weren't shown the shipping costs before they were required to give their credit card information, for example, can be devastating to sales. The simpler, clearer and shorter the process from cart to sale Cheap Jason Peters Jersey , the better. At no point should the potential ciustomer feel that there is a surprise ahead.
Finally, the look of the shopping cart needs to fit the visual theme of your site. Most shopping cart services have several variations on a basic look. Make sure one of those variations works.
Basic services will range anywhere from $10 to $30 per month. Remember to add in the cost of credit card merchant services if you want to accept credit card customers. And this is highly recommended. The downside of online purchases is that the customer must wait for the item to be shipped. Having to wait even longer for a money order to be received, or worse, a check to clear Cheap Brandon Graham Jersey , on top of shipping time reduces the convenience of online shopping to the point where sales could be lost.

HELSINKI, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Backing for the anti-immigrant populist Finns Party has increased in the wake of a terrorism-related incident, the result of a poll indicated on Thursday.
The support for the Finns Party surpassed the ten-percent level to 10.3 percent in a poll commissioned by national broadcaster Yle. The Blue Future, the breakaway group of the party Cheap Corey Clement Jersey , only got 1.4 percent support.
The poll interviews were carried out after a recent stabbing attack in Turku where a Moroccan asylum seeker was held as a suspect. The police said the suspect carried out the attack with terrorist motives.
The conservative National Coalition Party remained at 20.8 percent. The Center Party came down to 16.2 percent and the Social Democratic Party lowered to 15.6 percent.
The Green Party slightly improved its number-two position and rose to 17.8 percent.
Commenting on the results, Jari Pajunen, director of the research institute Taloustutkimus, said the popularity of the Greens had reached its limit among young and educated voters in university towns. To grow further Cheap Jake Elliott Jersey , they would have to reach new groups.
Pajunen noted the low support of Premier Juha Sipila′s Center Party had continued its recent declining trend. Support for the party is now at the level it was when Sipila became party leader in 2012.
