There are a lot of sites that you can sell you products online now. Amazon, Ebay and Shopify to name a few. Many made the choice of selling products through third parties like Ebay for a variety of reasons. The primary reason was technical. In the past, settings up your own website, web shopping cart and accepting payments was difficult. Then there was attracting visitors to get sales. A lot of the third party sales and auctions site took care of all of this. A lot of those constraints no longer exist and setting up a shopping cart is much simpler.

Setting up an internet shopping cart is a straightforward process that does not require much technical know-how. If you have a website then your choice of cart is based upon the platform of your website. Let’s take an example of setting up a cart on the popular WordPress platform.

WordPress sites run themes and plugins. The look and feel of your site is based on the theme you use. Adding a shopping cart is as simple as selecting one and installing it. Installing the shopping cart is done as a plugin. Once the plugin is install you have an interface to add products and prices and integrate with your payment provider. Integrating it to your site is also easy. Some themes have built in support while others need just a single line inserted in the code which anyone can do.

It is no longer necessary to look to third parties when you can have a shopping cart on your own site. With that you will get greater control and have less commissions to pay.
