17 Ecommerce Processes to Set Up, Maintain and Promote a Successful Store

By: Ben Mulholland

We’ve all had a moment of inspiration for our own online store. Whether (like me) you took up a new hobby (crochet) and showed your project to a family member (my gran) or you stumbled across a cheap source for a certain product, the lure of online sales is difficult to ignore.

Ecommerce is a massive sector, with a projected value of $4.5 trillion by 2021. However, without the proper ecommerce processes in place it’s more than easy to fail before you even get close to selling your first product.

“… data from Statista anticipates a 246.15% increase in worldwide ecommerce sales, from $1.3 trillion in 2014 to $4.5 trillion in 2021. That’s a nearly threefold lift in online revenue.” – Aaron Orendorff, Global Ecommerce: Statistics and International Growth Trends

That’s why we here at Process Street have put together this ecommerce processes pack. These templates will provide you with detailed instructions on how to do everything from setting up an online store to listing products, designing a logo, and promoting your content.

Better yet, every last process is completely free!

So, what are we waiting for? Let’s start selling!

WooCommerce setup

WooCommerce is a force to be reckoned with, with (according to BuiltWith) a 42% market share of the entire internet. This is partially due to its usability – if you own a WordPress site, you can host WooCommerce and sell products from it.

That’s why the first entry in our ecommerce processes collection is one to guide you through the WooCommerce setup process.

From start to finish, this checklist will let you set up a store and fill in all of the necessary information to hit the ground running. Not only is it a perfect compliment to anyone looking to test the waters with their own online store, but both the checklist and WooCommerce are completely free to use and install.

Shopify setup

While it isn’t as widespread as WooCommerce, Shopify can still push some serious business, having been known to process over $500,000 in transactions in a single minute during peak times. Unfortunately, many of the same simple mistakes that pose a threat to setting up other online stores also apply to this platform.

Hence why we’ve created this Shopify setup checklist.

Run this to make sure you gather all of the information you need in advance and save yourself the hassle of searching through multiple sources. Coupled with the helpful instructions to make sure that you don’t miss a trick when setting up your store, and this checklist is a must-have for anyone looking to try out the platform.
