I want to get started in e-commerce

Ensuring that people can buy through your website or make donations offers great opportunities for all types of businesses and community groups. It allows you to expand your customer or donor base with potentially global reach. It can also increase customer and donor satisfaction by letting them transact with you at a time and place most convenient to them. Our e-commerce section takes you through setting up e-commerce functionality for your website. It contains practical information about registration and login, online shopping carts, accepting online payments and donations, different payment types, GST and international transactions. For community organisations, we also have a section that discusses online fundraising.

Once you have looked at our e-commerce pages consider also exploring our planning to go online , online marketing and social media sections. Thinking about how your e-commerce presence fits into your business or organisation’s activities as a whole will help to maximise your success. Also consider legal issues and privacy and security.
