How to create an e-commerce
To start an online store, you need an inventory and an e-commerce platform. You can find this in multiple platforms like WooCommerce, Shopify, Squarespace, Magento, and Ecwid, with a wide choice of options. You will also find website builders, hosting, and domain names on many platforms like Godaddy.

How to run e-commerce
If you want to sell a physical product, you also need to have a physical store where you can store the goods, but this is not mandatory. You can also become an intermediary to sell your local manufacturers' goods instead of those of big manufacturers. For example, if a woman from your locality makes clothes to earn an income while sitting at home, you can use your e-commerce platform to sell her clothes. You won't have the problem of storing clothes; all you have to do is pack and deliver. You can add your profit as well as delivery charges to the total price of the item.​

You can start an ecomnmerce business in two ways, one, you build your own online store by using ecommerce platforms like woocommewrce, shoipify, Big Commerce, etc. and two, you create a store on existing ecommerce marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, etc. The first method lets you control your store and control your earnings, where as in the second method, you are at the mercy of the ecommerce marketplaces. INterestingly, the first method requires you to invest a lot of money to build your store, and the second method is either free or low cost. You can work on different kinds of ecommerce business, the most common one is inventory based. If you are selling your own products, you need a warehouse. You can also sell someone else's products through dropshipping and print on demand business model. These tow methods also are easy to operate becaus eyou don't have to fulfill the order.
