Create an online store, without downloading any software
|
|
As an amateur WordPress blogger, I am thinking about opening a shop selling local produce, so I've been working at finding an e-business solution. |
Since WordPress does not offer a simple enough solution, open source solutions (OS Commerce, Magentoor Prestatshop) would have taken too long. I thus opted for online solutions.
Here are the providers that I have selected:
- WiziShop: excellent... and it is a company located in Nice, France.
- 42Stores: a blog-shop developed by Dotclear.
- Weezbe: a very 'pro' shop developed by the Réservoir 34 Company of Montpellier.
WiziShop and Weezbe have a lot in common. In both cases, creating the shop is free, while payment is based on a sliding scale based on turnover. Everything is included in this fee.
42Stores stands somewhat apart because it is very attractive as a blog-shop with a look of its own. The offer may be adapted to 5 different solutions, from the 42Free offer to the 42Plateforme offer (price on request) through intermediate solutions.
These 3 providers are remunerated on a declining percentage based on sales in your outlet and include some differences in the calculation of their earnings.
Note that in most cases, you can test each one of the free solutions.
Your turn ... and Good Selling! |
