Ecommerce Resources
If you have a product or service that you want to sell online, here are a number of resources to help get you going.
Getting Started
If you are going to sell something online, you will need to set up a website. See the North Pole CCC Member Directory for local resources.

You will also need a web host to house your website. The array of available hosts and the services they offer is staggering, so we recommend consulting with a local expert to get some good advice.

If you plan to accept credit card payments, you will need to sign up with a service that will do that for you, or set up your own merchant account with a bank.
