What you need before you get started

Here is a quick checklist of what you need if you are planning to sell online:

1. Your Products, prices and photographs; preferably a stock file. Ask the person who does your book keeping or finance for this.
2. An internet merchant account. Ask your bank.
3. A payment gateway who will process your orders securely online for you.
4. A member of staff who will process new orders.
5. A courier company to pick up customers orders and deliver them.
6. A telephone number that a member of staff will answer 8am to 11pm.
