Then you have come to the right place ! Sell to clients via your website, whether they are browsing with a computer or cellphone, or sell via Facebook ! Ecommerce has never been easier, because a e-commerce website no longer needs to be programmed from scratch.
This is because there are many free and paid for tools available for anything from online-mega stores to a specialised small business. It even caters for Ouma (grandma) that wants to sell her milktart’s with the secret recipe online…
Two examples are WordPress using the Woocommerce plugin and the ecommerce widget EcWid (see ecwid.com). There are many others as well.
WordPress (using the Woocommerce plugin) is a stand-alone, comprehensive, open source ecommerce system, and supports South African payment gateway’s.
EcWid is integrated into any existing website, so you do not need to program anything. If your shop is part of an existing website, then EcWid is a good solution.
