Selling physical products

8 replies
I'm setting a site up for my brother who wants to sell physical products (fish) and ship them. He's done this for a while just listing them on ebay or whatever but wants his own site.

What's the best 'shopping cart' for physical products. I use e-junkie for my digital download products, does that work well for physical products as well? If not, what's the best way to do it.

Thanks!

    Are you looking for a free or paid solution? Also how many products or items will be up for sell?

    You need an e-commerce CMS + a payment gateway + a delivery service

    For e-commerce CMS I recommend Prestashop and OpenCart if you don't have many products (under 200). If you have more, I recommend Magento.

    For payment gateway you can use Paypal if you are accustomed to it.

    For delivery service check locally.

    I have to agree with tanshi, and there are also other merchant services that charge you less than what paypal charges per transaction as well.

      Hey currently I also market physical products, I use Paypal, so far so good, but they just charge certain% on the payment.

    For physical products; I would recommend magento. It works seamlessly and you do not have to make lots of troubleshooting. If you are good in coding then its okay for you.

    The aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous. The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself.....

    His business is selling fish? Well, I suppose at least it's scalable.

    He currently only has 5 or 6 different products he sells (He specializes in different types of crayfish).

    He accepts paypal now through other auctions, I'll check out the others mentioned.

    Thanks everyone!

    LOL @ Frank!

    You should consider "2checkout" if you haven't already.
