Selling on line is easier than you might think.

For a single product, you can simply add a PayPal link to a page on your website to organise payment.

To sell a catalogue of products, you add a shopping cart to your website. Shopping cart software allows you to enter your catalogue of products for display on your website.

Shopping cart software is easy to add to a modern Content Management System (CMS) based website. Older static HTML websites may need to be redeveloped in order to add shopping cart software.

The shopping cart software gives your customers the opportunity to view and select the products they would like and add them to their shopping cart.

Your customers are able to checkout once they have selected the products they would like. The checkout process collects contact, delivery, and payment information from your customer and creates an order for you to process.

Selecting the payment method is always the big question when it comes to selling on line. There a many options and, in most cases, you don't need to set up any new banking arrangements.

From the most simple up, the payment options available when using most shopping cart systems include:

• Pay on pickup
  
• Direct bank deposit
• Credit card over the phone
• PayPal
• Collect credit card details for office processing
• Complete on line credit card transaction (eCommerce)

Start simple and cheap when you start to sell on line.

If you have EFTPOS facilities, use your Website to collect credit card details and you can process payments as you would a phone payment.

As your on line business grows and you have more on line transactions that you can handle manually, get yourself an internet merchant account and process payments directly on line (eCommerce).

To ensure the success of your on line sales system, it is crucial that you tell people about it. Our Website Improvement Guide provides comprehensive information about how to do just that.
