E-commerce is becoming an increasingly popular business model. More and more consumers take advantage of the options available on the Internet and decide to buy online. That is why it is key for every business to be present online – this provides you with tools by which your products can reach as many customers as you want.
Starting an online shop involves several steps that will allow you to use effectively the opportunities offered by digitisation. You should also protect yourself against hacking attacks and work closely together with your IT department or external service provider in setting up your website and its functionalities. Besides the technological aspects, you must also take account of laws and taxes.
