Opening an Online Store for Electronics
Nothing is certain in this world, and so the year 2020. COVID19 the biggest issue for today, due to which the lockdown for around 3 months caused a loss of lives, education, economy, and numerous things. I have an Electronic store; it is challenging to own a business to maintain social distancing, sanitization, masks, and all such kinds of things. The customer has gradually decreased to shop from a virtual store and start purchasing through online stores; this gave me a thought to start with my own online Electronics store.
There is no better time to start up with my online Electronic store to embrace the new normal. Many people are glued to the screen, from education to entertainment. Everything from outside is coming inside. After searching on the net and talking to people came to know how an online store can be established. Either by eCommerce and eCommerce platforms or traditional websites, an online store is built.
eCommerce
In eCommerce, one sells and buys goods and services through the internet and mobile application and transfer money and data to complete this transaction. Almost anything to everything can be sold and bought in just a few clicks from anywhere to everywhere. The task is undertaken with the help of processes like electronic fund transfer, mobile banking, online transaction process, supply chain management, etc.
There are ample benefits of eCommerce; neither my customer nor I have to be physically present to sell and purchase the electronic items; just in a few clicks can sell and the buyer can buy a product hence saving time. Now I can deal in as many products as I want as no space issue as in a physical store, and also the arrangement of products is so systematic and convenient for both my customers and me. The money can now be transferred online through credit cards, debit cards, online transfer, or any gateway like google pay, PayPal, Paytm, etc.
Customers receive their products at their doorstep. And countless benefits to offer through it, also the distance is maintained following COVID19. My business took a flight with stability and profit.
