Online Shops

[alqassam]

I would like to create a small online shop, approximately 15 to 20 products initially.

I nice clean template plus hosting and payments network will be needed.

An approximate cost of this will be?

Good places that will host? templates? and domain registrations?

Do you want to do this all yourself?

An "all in one" solution is https://www.bigcommerce.com


Pricing here: https://www.bigcommerce.com/pricing2
Templates here: https://www.bigcommerce.com/theme-store/

They're not too flexible on the theming side but if you want a simple store where you don't have to do it yourself then this is one way to go.

If you want to do it all yourself then:
Wordpress, WooCommerce, payfast and themeforest.

https://www.godaddy.com/websites/online-store starts the same pricing as bigcommerce

You also have the option of a Pretashop hosted solution.
It'll be more work to setup but a lot cheaper.

A2hosting offer a 1 click preta-shop setup and it's about $27 cheaper than either of the above

If you have a large margin to work with, Shopify + Payfast is very nice.

If you value your online business you won't use godaddy, not even for domain registration

Personally Id give BigCommerc a pass. I'm not even sure there's any SA payment gateways that actually support it. Shopify (+PayFast) would be the better option if going that route.

Otherwise WooCommerce + Premium Theme (Themeforest) + PayFast/any other payment gateway is a very affordable & reliable option.

I would love to get an explanation as to why you say that? Their integrated product offering is far above anything else on the market.

They will sell your domain right under your nose. Scum business that. I don't trust them one bit.
