Instruction manual

1

First of all, think up a domain name for the store. It should be a bright, catchy name, and unique (that is, not repeating). Top-level domains (.com,.info,.net) are more stable in operation, but other domains have more options for free names.

2

Choose the option with which the online store will work. This may be the installation of software (scripts) on the purchased hosting, or registration on an already installed web service. In the first case, you will be the administrator of your store, you can reprogram it "for yourself." In the second option, you only need to register, and you can do this for free. If this is your first online store, it is better to choose a web service.

3

Customize the design of your online agricultural produce store. To do this, you can use standard templates or order an exclusive design project. However, if the efficiency of the store is most important to you, do not waste too much attention and money on this item.

4

Create product catalogs. Navigation on the site should be as convenient as possible for the buyer. For example, you may have the following categories of goods: agricultural machinery, implements, fertilizers and soils, planting stock; garden furniture, etc. The buyer should have before his eyes a convenient search and filter by price, name, characteristics. Indicate contact phones, address and other communication methods on the site.

5

Add the products you plan to sell to the catalogs. It is most convenient to add them not one at a time, but importing from an Excel file. Immediately determine the possible suppliers from which you can deliver the goods as soon as possible and add their assortment to the site. Pay special attention to the correct design of each product - it is advisable not only to have a full name, but also a photo, brief characteristics and description.

6

Take care of the organization of delivery and payment. If you are just starting to work in this area, you can deliver orders yourself, or agree with freight companies. If there is the possibility of storage, you can purchase the most popular products in small quantities, however, this will lead to a freeze of funds. When the turnover of goods becomes more, you can hire one or more employees.

7

Pay attention to the advertising of your online store. Order a promotional article for the central page, place links to the store in places where potential buyers come. For example, links to forums of gardeners, farmers, and cattle breeders can be effective.
