E-Commerce in Scotland

Internet selling is now firmly established. There are many companies trading profitably over the net, exploiting the cost advantages it provides.

The biggest advantage that the web can offer however is the 24/7 availability of your products. Your store never closes!

You can sell in a number of ways depending on your budget. There is nothing to stop you taking orders over the internet and then collecting payment via your normal route, be it cash, cheque or credit card. If people are required to send their credit card details over the internet you will need that section of your site to be placed on a secure server. If you want people to have their credit card processed at the same time they enter their details, you will need to use a third party processor.

There are a number of options available to you, depending on your objective. We will fully discuss your requirements and provide you with a variety of solutions applicable to your business needs.

In addition to designing and implementing your site, we can also advise you on the legal aspects of trading online. We are not lawyers however and we would always advise you seek legal advice if in doubt. We would recommend Lecote Solicitors in Birmingham. They have provided a brief crib sheet of the things you MUST do. Please click here to view the document.
