E-Commerce and Internet Technologies

A new gym: From my research a good online platform for this would be WooCommerce. WooCommerce is a plugin for WordPress and it allows you to turn your website in to a fully functional store. The features on the website include payment gateways, customisable themes and inventory management. This platform has a user friendly interface and has robust e-commerce capabilities. WooCommerce is a great option as it will allow users to pay for the gym membership easily, book time slots and see what slots are available as well as storing customer information. This is a great option for someone looking to set up a new gym and from my research seems like it would be an easy option.

A new clothing boutique: BigCommerce, BigCommerce gives you access to robust platforms and offer a number of features for online retail. BigCommerce easily allows you to create a visually appealing online store which allows you to manage your inventory. It is an easy place to set up the online payments. BigCommerce provides marketing tools and analytics which helps to promote your clothing store and track you performance. It is the best option to kickstart e-commerce for a new clothing boutique.

A cafe: Wix, With Wix you can create a website for your Cafe and easily add an online system for ordering. You can put your menu on the website then easily place an order and proceed to payment. Wix also lets you easily set up a delivery or pick up option, for customer preferences. There are a number of design templates on the website to make it look unique and you can choose one which suits your cafe the best! Wix is a great way to expand your cafe's reach and customer base and is a great option for your first venture into e-commerce.

Engaging in e-commerce can be challenging, but I hope my recommendations can be of some help to you all, its been a long day, time to sign off!
