Setting up an Online Store is Easy!  You can setup an online store in about 30 minutes.  In fact, you can probably do it faster if you like, I wasn’t trying to break a speed record.  But it was very very easy.  and You could do it Too!

I’m bucking all the conventional wisdom.  I didn’t have to buy any inventory.  I didn’t have to setup a merchant account to get credit card capability.  I didn’t have to setup a PayPal account to take PayPal.  I won’t have to pick pack or ship anything myself, but I can still sell on EBay or Froogle like a Pro!

I offer several hundred products in my store already, and I’m adding products all the time!  I accept every major credit card, have a secured site certified by GeoTrust, I do accept PayPal and I can ship with UPS, FedEx, USPS, Canada Post or DHL.  I deliver across North America and in Canada. 

I have an 800 number and live chat capability.  I got all of this in 30 minutes!  I even have access to products from 120 Product Suppliers and I didn’t have to submit my financials for review and confirmation to my good friends at Dunn & Bradstreet.

How did I do it?

Oh, it was soooo easy!  I setup an account with Shopster.com.  Do you want to take a look at my store!

Check it out at  http://shopping.softduit.com.  My store is called Softduit Online and its part of my family of websites with Softduit Partners. 

I’ve looked at a lot of shopping packages over the last few years.  You can buy a host, register a domain, buy e-commerce packages starting at a few hundred dollars and going up to a $1000.  You can even try and use free software from OSCommerce, but then you have to learn how to program in PHP, and wait for the open source community to feed you updates.  Not to mention, you still don’t have a business.  You don’t have support people, or products, or credit to buy products or so many other things like a merchant account that will run you $500 per month.

I got my store up and running for $29.95 per month!  That includes the site, the software, the products on demand, credit card processing, and shipping.  It was all set up and configured after I completed three simple steps!
