    Online shop solutions...

    Hi, thanks to everyone for their help. I ended up going with Bigcommerce; why? They seemed to offer great control over URL strings and it seems that I'll be able to match the store item URLs with our old site... which I'm pleased about. I did think of sticking with what we had but... I wanted...

    Online shop solutions...

    Thanks for the suggestions! Yes, my gut says Shopify but I need to delve deeper... Re' using our existing site; I hadn't thought of the SEO / link implications. Will have to think on this!

    Barcodes... and related shenanigans!

    Thanks for the advice; the barcodes sold on eBay; how do they work? they buy in bulk from GS1 and sell on the numbers? It sounds dodgy to me :/

    Barcodes... and related shenanigans!

    I need barcodes and what little research I've done has me confused. I see people selling barcodes on eBay... how is this different to buying barcodes from GS1, for instance? Separately - barcode printers. I need a barcode printer that prints labels in sheets rather than one at a time. I...

    iPhone peripheral - where to start?

    I've had an idea for a useful accessory that would add function to an iPhone / iPod Touch. I have no experience in this field so would appreciate a nod in the right direction... maybe some tech forums / industry sites. Thank you.

    Stock // new Ecommerce venture.

    You're right, experience is the key but as I plan on stocking a whole new set of products - I am unaware, for example, of how in demand certain sizes are of specific products - so I debate whether it's worth buying in something so I can at least say that I have it ... or possibly forgoing...

    Stock // new Ecommerce venture.

    Hi all, Rather than start a whole new thread, I thought I'd continue in this one. I have now secured deals, with regard, getting stock in from some of the major manufacturers / brands in my field (it took some time!) but the cogs are now in motion - I now have to think about stock levels and...

    Stock // new Ecommerce venture.

    Thank you for the vote of confidence! I had some headaches such as getting the SSL to load with no errors and the like but I feel like I can concentrate on getting more stuff in now... Thanks again for the tips and I'll continue to absorb ideas and comments on these forums. It's already been a...

    Stock // new Ecommerce venture.

    As promised, I have my online store up and running and below is a link; I have only a fraction of the stock that I plan for as I'm now talking with some of the bigger suppliers... however, what's amazing is that, despite having not 'officially' launched - by Google alone, there's been quite...

    where do you buy your printer cartridges from?

    Good to see some links on here. I used to get the no-brand replacements but I find them to be dubious in the quality stakes. Lexmark officials only now, usually from eBay.
