Steps to set up an online store (Map 0 to 100)

In order to complete the road map, we have mentioned the titles and descriptions, and according to the steps mentioned, you can set up an online store for yourself in the end, observing the principles that are stated.

Specify the type of product

Specify the product type of online store

At the beginning of any work, we must plan and evaluate what field we want to work in. Can our product have high sales per month? Will the product we have chosen benefit us? And in general, what should we sell in our store? You must have asked yourself these questions before setting up an online store, but in fact it is not that difficult to find the product you are looking for. It is enough to forget the great doubt about the best option and pay special attention to producing content and attracting the user to buy that product by choosing one of the products.

There are many suppliers you can work with. In this way, when a visitor comes to your site to buy a product such as a phone and registers his order, you inform the supplier to send the purchased phone to the desired address. Depending on the registered order from your online store, you will receive a commission.

Recognize the audience

Before choosing a product, make sure that the product has a fairly good search on Google and research which product people are most interested in buying online. Be sure to go to the popular goods and follow the example of big online stores such as DJ Kala and Basalam.

Select a content management system

For those who are not a designer or programmer, it makes more sense to go for a content management system (CMS) for the store. To understand this system, suppose someone builds a car engine and says that this car works and allows you to choose any body you want. In fact, in the content management system, you have a ready-made engine, which, assuming here, I present the site engine, which has certain functions, and you have the opportunity to choose and decorate any look you like.

There is also a template with ready-made skins that makes it easy for you to design and set up a store template according to your business idea of ​​setting up an online store. It is recommended to use WordPress content management system to build your online store. This system is the most popular and most secure content management system. 30% of the sites in the world are managed through this system.

Select domains and hosts

The first step in setting up an online store is to buy a "host" (web hosting space) and a "domain" name for the store. But what are domain names and hosts?

What is a "domain"? The domain is the same as the site address. For example, the domain name of the gasiweb website is gasiweb.com. For example, Digi Kala is the domain name of digikala.com. Of course, it also has another name, which is also called a domain.

What is a "host" or web hosting space? When you view a movie or photo on the Internet, that photo or video is stored where it is displayed to you. Also, the text and appearance of the site are all stored in a place called the host. Hosts are the computers on which you can upload your site information, where information is displayed to the user when a user enters your site. So in fact all sites have a host where site information is there. Com, net and ir domain extensions are most used in Iran. It does not matter which one you choose and note that international extensions such as com, net and org are more expensive.
