What is an ecommerce business and how does it make money?

An ecommerce business sells products online through its own store or a marketplace. It earns the difference between the price customers pay and the cost of making or buying the product, shipping it, platform and payment fees, and marketing. Many owners start with one small product range and test demand before buying much stock.

What should I learn first before opening an online store?

Start with the overview, then how to find a reliable supplier, price a product, and photograph and describe it well. Shipping, returns and sales tax come next. Rules, licences and taxes differ by country, so check what applies where you live and where your customers are.
