Hello There,
We’ve a question as my mate wants to find a website. He wants to market books/CDs from a firm that import them to the country (as many authors/artists only sell in the states and he lives inside the UK).
What factors must we take into consideration, before designing a site that allows this
The very first few things which spring to mind are:
* Linking towards the importers database, to have the products to market.
* Buying numerous stock to sell off.
* How you can process payment techniques (such as credit history cards).
* The particular designing and marketing on the website.
Any thoughts/suggestions regarding the steps to take as a way to sell CDs/Books coming from a distributor would become appreciated.
Style Regards,
Research the credit card merchant first.
Find out who in britain accepts credit handmade cards online and connects for a bank.
An example of how which works… see internet. authorize. net
They’ve got good graphics as well as explanations of the way CC is handled on the web site.
Pay attention to AIM and SIM… one requires any secure server along with the other
isn’t going to. They explain the 2 different methods.
It defintely won’t be free to sign up for a CC one. And you have to ensure it
works for the UK.
Other…
Work towards the importers data source issue.
Learn how to tap into that will (even if it needs a payed subscription).
Some may have some API’s produced for sites which sell their products.
Come back to WDF later for the rest of the story.
