How to create an E-Commerce website for you who have limited funds and can not coding (but complicated, really complicated)
good afternoon steemia..?
I write this because I have experienced things like, want to create an ecommerce website, but ga can not coding, subscription to eh ecommerce platform is expensive too. on the basis of it maybe this article can be useful like friends friends experience similar things.
to create a website if you can not coding the alternative so ask for a web developer to create a website, but like you ask for a website to the developer, at least you need ngeluarin funds around 10jt to true so (this is very cheap), or if you have temen developer and ask for help to him, at least 3jt to create a web ecommerce, and even then he can react to him make a complicated website like ecommerce and that too if anyone want. let alone if you just have a budget of hundreds of thousands of trus asks made ecommerce website, then kamunya maksa .. do not lah ...
if it is a friend, you should appreciate him more by giving more appreciation, not because your friend is a price prince.
well if you can not afford to pay web developer, actually to create a website many alternative paid platform that can be used, for example shopify, bigcommerce, magento the cheapest monthly $ 29 per month
example of the cheapest price of each platform:
Shopify: $ 29 / Rp. 385,120 / month
Squarespace: $ 30 / Rp. 398,400 / month
Bigcommerce: $ 29.95 / Rp. 397.736 / month
averaging nearly 400rb / month to create an Ecommerce site, if you have more money to create web ecommerce, and ga want ribet directly so, I suggest choosing one of the 3 platforms, if I personally prefer shopify for others yet ever try.
now for those who have limited funds, this could be one alternative
WordPress + Shopify Button
this way I've used to create cheap ecommerce website, so even though tetep no monthly fee, but at least much cheaper than paying $ 29 per month
needed here:
Openshift Account (Hosting)
Wordpress theme
Domain name ($ 15 / year)
Shopify button ($ 9 / month)
Stripe account (payment gateway - to receive money from costumer)
Payoneer account (to receive money from stripe)
Paypal account (to receive money from costumer)
at least that's what's needed, little right?
Openshift Account / Free Hosting
because the title is how to create ecommerce with limited funds, so here I find the cheapest alternative, which is free hosting, here I can recommend from my friend Reno Fizaldi, you can create an Openshift account to be able to get free hosting,
"OpenShift is a PaaS service from RedHat that supports Java platform, PHP (WordPress, Drupal, CodeIgniter, Laravel, CakePHP, Simple PHP Framework, Symfony, ownCloud, Piwik, phpMyAdmin), Ruby (Ruby on Rails), Python (Django) Node.js, Perl, Go Language, etc. And do not miss also comes with MySQL database, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. Register free package is very easy, does not require credit cards, contracts, and without time constraints (expiring trial). Free package can hosting 3 applications with each application get 1GB storage. "- Musaamin.id
essentially if using openshift we can install wordpress and also get a free hosting so deh,
for how to create an Openshift account and its steps, please googling itself yes, at least I love the keyword, if you want ribet for free please try this way,
but I am more recommend to buy hosting, although pay, which is important ga eat a lot of time, most also buy hosting with domainnya abisnya maximum 500 thousand, that even for a year, try bandingin use shopify platform or other monthly 380ribu, try multiply 12 months.
for cheap hosting and rekomended, please try to check my Niagahoster again can be recommendation from Reno Fizaldi, if for example ga worth it complain aja to him do not to me, I personally have never try because hehe.
o Reno Fizaldi my friend this one is a web developer, so all recommendations from openshift account to hosting is a proposal from him, such as you want to make the web but bener bener gaptek, I can recommend him, direct contact wrote, I have my link fbnya ;)
Domain Name
for the domain can you buy through mana aja,
if I buy through godaddy / namecheap (for now I am more to namecheap because it is more simple & user friendly & already use hell ..)
but still needed a paypal account / credit card to buy a domain there, Niagahoster could be an alternative if you want to search the Indonesian version, or now many kok service providers to buy a domain, googling aja
Search WordPress Themes
this optional option actually if you can create your own website, but if you do not have basic to create a website, wordpress theme you can make an alternative,
for wordpress theme you can buy in themeforest, at least you have credit card / paypal to buy theme on the site.
tips: if you do not have credit card, you can use bni virtual card, setau me for debit card in india only bni or mandiri that can be used. but I do not know, maybe now some banks like bca can, please try it yourself.
if for example your market in local / in indonesia, there is one theme that I recommend, please check Lapakinstan, website template made by Wikie, I do not know him, but honestly I am quite amazed with the theme he made (though just look at the preview landing pagenya) if like I play in the local market I would definitely try this theme. for more details you can check yourself on Lapakinstan web
- UPDATE: June 23, 2017
For the local market I've finally tried lapakinstan, but the result is not so rekomended, this theme is very difficult for the brain tweaking, jd if you want to change the header color for example, it takes css or html skills here, this is what makes this theme less user friendly. but if you are already falling in love, it's okay, this theme jg always have an update, and guns bad-bad really, and most importantly this theme already has a pixel feature in it. well for the recommendation of other wordpress themes for now I use landingpress theme for local market. why I choose this theme, here they are the most important memimiliki pixel features, and very easy in the brain tweaking, to design his own template jg recommend, for the rate I love 7.9 / 10 is ..
Shopify Button
why shopify button, first price is cheap $ 9 compared with shopify subscription, with shopify button we can use fitur2 shopify,
in addition to use shopify button, woocommerce can also be an alternative, free woocommerce fees. Why not choose woocommerce? I've tried using woocommerce, and the results are confused, so switch me to shopify that is more user friendly. but like you already have basic in woocommerce also can, it's prefer where.
Payment Gateway
payment gateway is an important element in an ecommerce website, because the function of payment gateway is to receive money from your custom. for payment gateway there are several options, if your market is in Indonesia I recommend to select DOKU, but for US or overseas market, Paypal or 2checkout can you make an option,
DOKU
honestly, i really impress with this platform, one of the startup is silent expansion where it is. maybe this platform will be used by merchants in indonesia for the future, meki now there is also silent emerge that is iPaymu, suddenly cooperation with facebook for payment shop online in facebooknya, I think for payment gateway subject you can choose doku (to shopify) because doku already working with shopify in terms of payment gatewaynya, for example ecommerce indonesia that use doku that asmaraku.com you can check there, they use shopify for website,
because I have never tried to use doku, I can not write more about this
PAYPAL
for paypal I suggest to register using business account, how to do? googlinglah first (how to create a paypal account business - or whatever)
why business account? if you use a personal account in use for business, paypal would be suspicious with your account, this account kok suddenly there is a lot of money, this money from where, which ultimately paypal will hold your money there, aka guns can be transferred to your savings account until they get confirmation directly from you.
Tips: for you who sell goods, it is recommended if the transaction using paypal always fill in the number of receipts (tracking number) so that if you get dispute, you have evidence that the goods are actually sent.
STRIPE
since I never used 2checkout for payment gateway, so I can not write about 2checkout, but to be more secure I recommend you use 2checkout
Loh, can i use stripe in indonesia?
actually I tried to use shopify payment before using stripe, but after several times my transaction suddenly in email,
1.Alamate in US
To use shopify payment or stripe you have to use the address in us, here I use the US virtual address, you can register here if you want to have our free virtual address, www.viabox.com, or you can search other, live googling aja.
- US bank account
in addition to the US address, you also need a US account to shopify / stripe can send money from your sales there, and lucky for your account you can register to payoneer, free list wrote, about a month you will be payoneer debit card sent to the address your home.
so the plot is like this,
customer buy your product -> checkout wear stripe -> stripe send money to your payoneerm account -> withdraw your money to your personal account via payoneer
roughly like that picture.
EIN / SSN
I do not know if this way is still working or can not be used, because I signed stripe about about mid-early 2016.
most people stop at this stage, when told to fill up the SSN because to get the code you have to be a native american, arguably the SSN is the same as his US citizen ID card.
the first time I signed up stripe for my ssn column content 000000000 either now this way can still be used or not, because a few months ago about after the transaction in stripe reach $ 1000 (whether this is the triger) suddenly I never get the transfer from the stripe usually every money that comes directly in foward to my payoneer account, in other words my money is held by stripe. because a few weeks I was not in transfers I try to contact stripe via email
it turns out here stripe verify, well because I used to fill the SSN with no 00000, maybe because this stripe can not do the verification, so my money in hold. but somehow until now I can still use stripe without using ssn or ein even though I did not update the SSN / EIN they requested. but in order to avoid money in hold again, I am currently trying to make, because from the above mentioned email I caught if you do not have SSN you can use EIN to register stripe.
as I explained before, be aware to get SSN you need to be a US citizen, or else you have to register an LLC (Limited Liability Company) or C-corp company in the US and create a bank account in us, and it requires a long process and certainly complicated and the money spent is also not small.
Well, the good news is you can sign up for an EIN even though you are not a US citizen and can also be done without you having to go to US. and EIN is enough for you can activate the account stripe.
to get an EIN you need to call the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) and also the following which you do
Download form from irs and fill first before calling
call IRS (800-829-4933) says you want to create an EIN. to call you can use skype so that your bill does not swell, because the duration is quite old
later you will get an EIN number that you can directly use, and also the number will be sent via post
after getting EIN, we can get to dashboard stripe and activate your strip account, following form that you need to fill
Country: United States
Business type: Individual / Sole Proprietorship
EIN: The EIN number you have earned
Address: Use US Virtual Address
SSN: 0000
Bank Account: Log in to your payone account,> click receive-> Global Payment Service and copy bank info provided by payoneer.
Conclusion
if the sum of total costs to be incurred:
domain = 200,000
hosting (openshift) = free
wordpress theme = 500.000
shopify button = $ 9 / Rp.100.000 / month (1,200,000 / year)
so the total cost to be spent approximately Rp. 1.900.000 / year
pro: luckily using this means that the cost incurred becomes cheaper than fullnya platform subscription that costs $ 29 per month
cons: to create a website this way will take a lot of time, and complicated too. the experience of using this way I spent about one to two months to learn, research, and design, until the website is really so, whereas if using an ecommerce platform such as shopify for example, I only need the longest week until the web is true so even 3 days can, whose remaining time can be used to focus on others.
personally I prefer to subscribe full use platform like shopify, because you do not need to think about technical things anymore, such as worry about the website in hack, or worry its website down because of the amount of traffic coming, and so on. and most importantly the time you spend on creating a website, because I feel myself how I spend time just to design the web, which after it's finished product that sold guns: '(which eventually makes the web again and eat time again and finally kapok :))
if you do not want to ribet easy aja, ask aja web developer to ngurusin ginian. wrong. : P

Saya menulis ini karena saya pernah mengalami hal-hal seperti, ingin membuat website ecommerce, tetapi ga bisa coding, berlangganan ke platform ecommerce eh itu mahal juga. atas dasar itu mungkin artikel ini bisa bermanfaat seperti teman teman mengalami hal serupa.
untuk membuat website jika Anda tidak bisa coding alternatifnya jadi mintalah seorang web developer untuk membuat website, tetapi seperti Anda minta website untuk pengembang, setidaknya Anda perlu ngeluarin dana sekitar 10jt to true jadi (ini sangat murah) , atau jika Anda memiliki temen pengembang dan meminta bantuan kepadanya, setidaknya 3jt untuk membuat e-commerce web, dan bahkan kemudian ia dapat bereaksi terhadapnya membuat situs web yang rumit seperti e-commerce dan itu juga jika ada yang mau. apalagi jika Anda baru memiliki anggaran ratusan ribu trus meminta dibuatkan situs ecommerce, maka kamunya maksa .. jangan lah ...
jika itu adalah teman, Anda harus lebih menghargainya dengan memberi lebih banyak penghargaan, bukan karena teman Anda adalah pangeran harga.
nah jika Anda tidak mampu membayar pengembang web, sebenarnya untuk membuat situs web banyak alternatif platform berbayar yang bisa digunakan, misalnya shopify, bigcommerce, magento bulanan termurah $ 29 per bulan
contoh harga termurah dari setiap platform:
Shopify: $ 29 / Rp. 385.120 / bulan
Squarespace: $ 30 / Rp. 398.400 / bulan
Bigcommerce: $ 29.95 / Rp. 397.736 / bulan
rata-rata hampir 400rb / bulan untuk membuat situs E-niaga, jika Anda memiliki lebih banyak uang untuk membuat e-niaga web, dan ga ingin ribet secara langsung, saya sarankan memilih salah satu dari 3 platform, jika saya pribadi lebih suka berbelanja untuk orang lain yang belum pernah mencoba.
sekarang bagi mereka yang memiliki dana terbatas, ini bisa menjadi salah satu alternatif
Tombol WordPress + Shopify
cara ini saya sudah terbiasa membuat website ecommerce murah, jadi walaupun tetep ada biaya bulanan, tapi setidaknya jauh lebih murah daripada membayar $ 29 per bulan
