Deciding how you will sell.
The actual setting up of your online shop can be achieved in two ways:
You can build an e-commerce store from scratch
– this means either developing it yourself,
or hiring a freelancer/agency to do it for you. It can take longer and cost more, but building a
custom online store will guarantee 100% customization and give you the power to make all
the decisions.
You can use an off-the-shelf e-commerce solution
which makes building an online store a
quick and easy process. However, it will also mean less customization, as you will need to
choose from an existing pool of themes and tools provided by the platform. If you opt to run
a dropshipping business, e-commerce solutions will allow you to get the store off the ground
and start selling in as little as few hours.
