When setting up a business, there are a lot of things to consider.
I've thought long and hard about the type of lady startup I want to own and run one day, but the first question I always ask myself is... 'HOW ON EARTH COULD I EVER DO THAT?'
The second question is, 'Where the heck would I even start?'
And the trusty third is, 'How do I get someone else's money into MY account?'
Whether it's your side hustle or fully fledged full-time business, there is a way to make your life so much easier by implementing strategies that are absolutely key to success. Including how to set up accepting payments on your business' website.
I'm a big fan of the ecommerce world, mostly because it's exciting to type in my card details and get a product delivered straight to my door within days.
Purely because of this, I went on a research-based journey where I endeavoured to find how one actually sets up their business for success – because in all honesty, I was PUZZLED for a good minute.
Thankfully, I found some incredible answers in the Lady Startup community and as such, I've compiled a nifty little list to keep in mind when setting up a payment system for your business, including where to start and how to make it run as smoothly as possible.
Make your customer's journey with you ✨magnificent✨.
I've had many experiences where I've not wanted to shop with a business again because it was a 👏 STRUGGLE 👏 to make the payment.
That's a big no-no in the world of ecommerce, one that business founder Vee tells Mamamia can easily deter a very willing (and possibly returning!) customer.
