What is an Online Store, really?

Many people believe that the term Shopping Cart is a catch-all for everything they need to create an online store. Not so fast... A Shopping Cart is an essential component, and we'll get into all that. But here's the real shopping list for you, the online Merchant:

• An e-Commerce-enabled Web site and Secure Server (SSL)
• Shoppable Web Pages , which quickly display your products with text and graphics, and which communicate with your Shopping Cart
• A integrated Shopping Cart -- the program which takes your customer's entered data or selections and processes it accordingly, i.e., product quantities, tax and shipping calculations, credit card data communcation with your merchant account, etc.
• Database tools to organize, create, update and maintain your database of products and/or services, both online and offline (locally)
• A Merchant Account (for Mastercard, Visa, etc.)
• Software or Hardware to Interface With Your Merchant Account (Order Fulfillment)

• If you process a high volume of your customers' orders offline, you'll probably want to have software which takes those orders securely off the Internet, so you can process them in a batch, through your Merchant Account.
