In making e commerce what do i need to learn?

Answer 1

Hi Joy!

This is not an exhaustive list, but I would start with:
- consumer protection & privacy laws
- payment gateways, payment processing, and merchant accounts (pick a good service or combination of services and read the documentation for their APIs to see how they will integrate with your website)
- security regulations specifically surrounding e-commerce sites (not sure where you're planning to draw customers from and which countries/territories you will be excluding, but in the US we look for PCI compliance)
- how to calculate sales tax for your products (generally by customer location)
- how to program a shopping cart

That's usually plenty to start with.

I hope this helps! :)

That will take a while! Ecommerce is a vast topic. You will need to learn about back end and payment processing which won't be an easy task especially if you are a beginner. Ecommerce platforms are usually build by team of experienced developers.
