E-commerce solutions for mobile and desktop

Same system as everyone else or something that suits your business?

To sell online, you can take many different paths. Ten years ago, selling products and services on the web was expensive, difficult, and inaccessible, especially if you wanted to sell to those who visited the site with a phone.

Technology has advanced with great strides, and the trend has reversed. Now it is common for you to buy everything from products and clothes to cars and houses with your mobile. Payment solutions have become more straightforward, and the browser has become much better at helping with the payment flow.

Here we talk about how we look at e-commerce and why everything is not gold that glitters and has a price tag of SEK 149 / month…

 

Why not ready-made solutions for everyone?

With increased need, more solutions will turn up, and many are competing today to offer simple and cheap e-commerce to those who want to dip their toes or feet in the flood of purchases that are made today.

In many cases, such a solution may be just what is needed, and then one must evaluate that alternative first and be prepared to adapt their business to the rules of the game.

• Cheap? Absolutely.
• Easy to get started? Usually.
• Full of compromises? Oh yeah.
• Exactly what you are looking for? Probably not, but maybe good enough.

We have chosen to focus on e-commerce solutions for customers with slightly higher ambitions and where it is important to sew the shop together with the usual website and where you want to be able to design the solution the way you want, use the payment solutions that feel the most relevant, integrate the systems with the business or financial system that is in place, send orders to 3PL (the logistics partner you use) and work with the currencies required to name a few parameters.
