Organise product data

Each product needs a name, description, price, image, category and any variants. Decide which system is the source of stock information.

Map the order journey

Decide whether guest checkout is available, which details customers enter and what they see after successful and failed payments.

Choose payment methods

Commercial approval from the bank or provider is needed before technical integration. The business should control the accounts and access.

Define delivery rules

List service zones, rates, free-delivery thresholds and information shared with couriers. Reflect data sharing in the privacy policy.

Prepare policies

Publish accurate payment, delivery, returns and privacy information based on how the business actually operates.

Plan testing

Test prices, discounts, stock, cart, every payment outcome, notifications, order statuses and refund handling before launch.
