how much does it cost to start up an e-commerce?
I’m doing a project on starting an online proof reading website and was wondering exactly how much it will cost and what will be the cheapest way to go. After researching I found that it will cost roughly from 1000-3000 which in this price includes Domain Name, Monthly Hosting, Shopping cart system(oScommerce - free open source software), Merchant Account to accept payments online(paypal accepts credit cards, eChecks, paypal account), Incorpate, LLC, or DBA with State to be legal, Tax ID after that from IRS, and a resale certificate is needed as well if you choose to resale products from a distributor or manufacturer.
Is this the cheapest I can go paying this much for an e-commerce?
also how much does it roughly cost per month
