Modern e-commerce platforms like MyCashflow simplify launching an online store, allowing you to dive in without extensive planning. As your store evolves continuously, embrace improvements through testing and customer feedback to gather insights swiftly, enhancing your store's development and staying competitive.

4. No tech expertise? No problem!

Embarking on your e-commerce journey with MyCashflow is a breeze and doesn't require technical know-how. While online business is low on technical barriers, it demands consistent effort akin to a physical store. Success hinges on proactive sales and marketing strategies, ensuring your online store thrives in the competitive digital landscape.


Choosing the right path for online store: E-commerce service vs. platform

Choosing the right e-commerce solution depends on your specific needs and resources. Self-hosted platforms offer customization but require technical expertise. Managed e-commerce services like MyCashflow simplify the process, allowing you to focus on your business.

When assessing different solutions, consider scalability and the availability of additional services to prevent limitations as your business grows. It's crucial to factor in ongoing software development and its alignment with your specific needs when evaluating managed services.

Ultimately, the choice between a self-hosted platform and a managed e-commerce service boils down to your technical expertise, customization requirements, and the desire for a hassle-free experience that allows you to focus on your business's success.

How much does it cost to set up an online store?

The cost of setting up an online store depends on the platform you use. In MyCashflow's e-commerce service, the monthly or yearly billing provides all the necessary features for online store setup and maintenance. The Basic plan, suitable for beginning online retailers, costs 59 euros/month. As your online store grows, you can easily upgrade to a larger plan from your store's admin panel.

Can I create an online store for free?

Yes, you can also open an online store for free (0 euros). All MyCashflow e-commerce service packages offer a 30-day free trial period during which you can explore the software, its features, and online store management without any risk.

How quickly can I set up an online store?

With a modern e-commerce platform like MyCashflow, opening an online store can be done very quickly, as you can have a new online store up and running in as little as an hour if you wish.

The user-friendly and intuitive MyCashflow e-commerce service is designed in a way that building an online store is possible even without prior technical knowledge, making it an excellent choice for online retailers of all levels.

What kinds of products can I sell in an online store?

Compared to brick-and-mortar stores, the advantage of an online store is its versatility. In an online store, you can sell both physical and digital products and a wide range of services. In general, almost all types of products can be sold in an online store, and customers can include both consumers and B2B clients.

Can I establish an online store without a business ID?

While it is not necessarily required to have a business ID to open an online store, in practice, having a business ID significantly simplifies various aspects such as billing and taxation for your online store. Additionally, it's important to note that a business ID instills greater trust in customers when it comes to your online store. Consumers prefer to do business with a registered company rather than an individual because it offers a higher level of consumer protection than when dealing with individuals.

Can I integrate an online store with a brick-and-mortar store?

Yes, integrating an online store with a brick-and-mortar store is quite straightforward nowadays. If your business has both an online store and a physical retail location, it can be beneficial to invest in a point-of-sale (POS) system that seamlessly integrates with your online store.

For this purpose, we have developed an integrated POS solution within the MyCashflow e-commerce service, MyCashflow POS. This allows you to sell products anywhere, including in physical stores, sales points, and at events.

Permits for Starting an Online Store?

In most cases, you can conduct online business without requiring a specific license. Typically, businesses that require licenses include food retailers, health services, and financial institutions. If you are unsure whether your business requires a license, you can check with your local regional administrative agency. In most cases, you will need to have a registered business and a business ID to apply for a license.
