How to Start an Online Store: Pick Your Shopping Cart

Brief Introduction

The video is for newbies interested in setting up and running their own online stores. It focuses on how to start an online store, the importance of shopping carts and how to go about it. It gives the three most reliable shopping cart platforms for your online store and also recommended one of them

Importance of shopping carts

Picking a ready-to-go shopping cart platform saves you the rigors and technical knowhow of how to build a website and also integrate it to your custom built shopping cart platform. And if you intend to outsource it, you have to part with a lot of money. But picking an already built shopping cart platform saves you all that since no website is required

Three recommended shopping cart platforms

There are three highly reliable platforms that you can select – Shopify, Volusion and Bigcommerce. Even though the speaker in the video uses Volusion for his own online store, he suggests the option of Shopify for newbies. This is because Shopify is said to be the easiest to understand and manage among the three shopping cart platforms.

While he agrees that all the three of them have their own peculiar advantages, he believes that shopify should be chosen before the other two because it offers a lot of plug-ins and also supports so many applications.

To avoid a miscommunication, he pointed out that the other two platforms are also very good and reliable. You are still in safe hands if you choose any of them. He just opined that Shopify is the best for newbies due to the reasons mentioned above.

Of course you may have come across several reviews about the three of them, some may be encouraging and some may be unpleasant. The truth is… no review can give you a better idea than trying them out for yourself. Since experience is said to be the best teacher, why not give one of them a trial immediately? Just to encourage you further, he has offered to set it up for you free of charge. You just need to select one of the shopping cart platforms and it will be set up for you at no additional cost.
