  2.   Ecommerce purchases are expected to rise from 14.1 in 2020 to 22% by 2023.                             Online shopping is slowly and steadily taking over the major part of retail in the last                                 few years. It has gone from being a minority to becoming a multibillion-dollar                           industry. Projections suggest that e-retail sales will spike up to $4.8 trillion by 2021,                             globally.        If you haven’t gone digital yet, there is no better time than today. Starting your own                                 online store is easier than it seems these days. On the Internet, you will find a lot of                                     information on what to do and what not to do. But the amount of information is                                 sometimes confusing.    Here’s a short checklist for anyone wanting to start their own online store: What                             should you watch out for? What steps should you definitely not skip?          1 

  3.     8 Simple Steps to Get Start your Online Delivery Store    Step 1: Choose a Product  An online store almost always starts with an idea or a product. Maybe you already                               have a shop and now you also want to sell your products online. Or maybe a                                 product comes from your hobby that you would like to sell online. A third                             possibility is that you come across a product that interests you and that you would                               like to sell yourself.    Step 2: Study the Market  How unique is your product? When you are one of the thousands of people selling a                                 particular product, it can be difficult to distinguish yourself from your competitors.                         Before launching your own online store, it is therefore important to find out about                             the opportunities available to you in the market.    An easy way to do this is to search Google for the product you want to sell. Take a                                       look at the best search results and ask yourself if you can distinguish yourself from                               these competitors. Social media can also be a good source for finding out about                             emerging trends. There may be a certain trend that is very popular abroad, but                             there is no one in your state or country who still sells this product.    Step 3: Find a Supplier  Without suppliers, you cannot know how much your products will cost, how much                           margin you can take and how much profit you can make. To start your online                               delivery store, you need to know exactly who your suppliers will be. Make sure you                               sign clear agreements with them in advance.    2 

  4.     Step 4: Choose Your Online Store Software  Due to the wide range of online shopping software, it is often difficult for                             entrepreneurs to choose the e-commerce platform that best meets their needs and                         wishes. Nowadays, there are many electronic store software providers that can                       help you set up your own electronic store. These can be classified as follows:    Software as a Service (SaaS): You pay a fixed monthly fee that gives you a full set of                                     standard features, including free upgrades.    Open Source (OS): the source code of the online store is entirely created and                             managed by you or by a web developer. Updates are not automatic and are not                               normally free. You can outsource your project development in this case, to save on                             costs.    Tailor-made: in this case, your online store is fully personalized according to your                           wishes. All you need is the best eCommerce development company. This option                         makes you stand apart and offer added value to your customers.    When choosing a SaaS online store, it’s important to consider both the monthly                           costs and the features you think you will need now and in the future. If you                                 compare closely, the ​cost to develop an eCommerce application vis-à-vis a SaaS store, the former seems more profitable in the long run.                            Step 5: Make Your Online Store Findable  Once you have a domain name and are satisfied with your choice of online store                               software provider, you can link the domain name to your online store and start                             your online store. Your store probably won’t be found yet, although a good domain                             name can work wonders.  3 

  5.   A good way to be better found is to create links. This means that you are asking                                   other websites to link to your own eCommerce store – this is called link-building.                             In link-building, you have to take into account two things: the quality of the website                               that links you and the number of links (the more qualitative the links, the better).                               Qualitative websites can be found by searching your most important keywords in                         Google.    Another important aspect of the visibility of your electronic store is SEO (Search                           Engine Optimization). By applying certain tips, you can influence the visibility of                         your online store in the search results of search engines such as Google. Find out in                                 this ultimate SEO guide what you need to pay attention to when optimizing your                             online store.    When you are starting, you can also outsource your SEO to a digital marketing                             company to focus on business development and products.    Step 6: Register Your Online Store  All entrepreneurs need to register their store with the legal authorities of the                           country. The norms for this differ according to the nature and size of business. It is                                 best to open a professional account with a recognized financial institution. It’s                         easier for your accounting and especially for your overview. Once the legal                         formalities are taken care of, you can conduct your online business without any                           hassles.    Step 7: Inform Your Customers  The main characteristics of your products must be described, as well as the price.                             Taxes and possible transport costs must also be indicated. The customer should be                           able to know who you are: your business number, your address (not a PO Box), your                                 phone number and your email address.  4 

  6.   Give a good idea of ​​payment and delivery options. This information must be clearly described before ordering the product. This helps in building trust in the minds of                                                         your customer.    Step 8: Remember Marketing  While this is the last step, it is certainly not trivial. There are several methods to                                 bring your online store to the fore. For example, writing quality blog articles,                           responding to online forums, or generating backlinks.    You can also actively promote your products on Facebook and Instagram. There are                           also paid methods such as advertising on Google via Google AdWords (you pay per                             click on an advertisement. You can also use email marketing. Automating the                         process will help you generate more leads and thus increase revenue.    Introducing Chatbots is also an excellent idea to stay on top of the customer                             service game.    All these steps can seem like a breeze if you entrust your online store development                               to an ​experienced eCommerce development company​.    Do you want to start enjoying the benefits of selling your products online?
