Creation of an online store – e-commerce site in Cameroon

Do you want to sell on the internet and create an online store / e-commerce site in Cameroon ?
Whether you offer your services, your products, whether you are a business, a craftsman or a freelancer, an online store can be  a formidable tool to increase your turnover . It will give you many commercial and practical advantages.
It is still necessary that the Creation of your online store / e-commerce site in Cameroon  be done in the “rules of the art”  and that your potential customers find it!
For this, a lot of thinking will have to be done upstream. Whether you call on a professional or opt for a “turnkey” formula.

Ask yourself the right questions before you start!

Why create an online store / e-commerce site in Cameroon?

Everything can potentially be sold on the web.
You can  sell services there  : you are a restaurateur and you offer discovery packs for your restaurant or more simply the reservation and payment of your rooms online.
Obviously, this makes sense,  products are also sold there .

A shop can  continue the activity of your physical store  or be your sole means of sale. In the latter case, however, you will need to have a storage place for your products (depending on the quantity sold).

Whether your business is in its infancy or at a frantic pace, a boutique will make sense.
You can indeed make yourself known there but also  develop your sales on a different scale .

The creation of an online e-commerce store in Cameroon also means having a showcase that highlights  and can allow a first approach to the product. The Internet user takes the time to study the latter. So many e-commerce sites in Cameroon offer to buy online and collect in store!

Everyone has already had the opportunity to buy on the web. Both you and your potential customers benefit from it.
Unlike a physical store,  the product catalog is always up to date . As a result, it is easier and longer to find the garment that suits your size, for example!
For you, your promotional and marketing campaigns will be much cheaper on the web!
If you relay the information on social networks, on your site or blog adjoining your online store in Cameroon, it will reach many more people than a classic advertising campaign.

In addition, you will be able to  adjust your products, your offer to customers . A discussion forum, comments, frequently asked questions (FAQ) will allow you to know the opinions of your customers.

But beware,  the competition is fierce on the web . Internet users can compare prices in no time. If you have a niche market, a very specialized offer, you won’t have much competition. If you are a luxury brand, a prestigious name, the question will not arise either.
Otherwise, you will have to display competitive selling prices and above  all gain the trust of customers . But since your costs will be reduced (less charges, intermediaries) your prices may be  more competitive than in a physical store .

So? Have these benefits convinced you to want an online store?

How to manage your online store / e-commerce site in Cameroon?

Your shop will have two environments:

• the public environment, the one used by Internet users to consult your catalogs of products and services. Thanks to secure payment, each customer will be able to place an order with you and pay directly online.
• the administration environment, the one that will allow you to manage all of your products and services. You will find there (among other things) all of your customer orders as well as sales statistics.

How to develop your own e-commerce site in Cameroon?

Several solutions are available to you :

• You can buy  a turnkey shop on the web . You don’t need any technical knowledge.
  To do this, go to one of the many sites that offer it. You choose a graphic theme that will make the identity of your shop. You integrate the products you want to sell into a catalog, enter their information, their selling prices, the available stock… Tools will allow you to manage orders, invoices, present attendance statistics…  this solution is clearly not not tailor-made and nothing can guarantee you good sales .
• You can also  join a commercial site ( Durrell Market ) . A page will be dedicated to you.
  This solution is perhaps more suitable for private individuals than for professionals. If you want to sell your craft creations, this may be enough, but managing large orders via this tool may be problematic.
• The other alternative is to call on  website development professionals for a “tailor-made” realization of your online sales site / e-commerce store in Cameroon. They will be able to offer you a tailor-made online store . It will have the advantage of being scalable. You can start “small” and add functionalities as your needs evolve. And above all, you will have an interlocutor! It will be there to do everything to your liking both in terms of graphics and functionality. Maintenance and security will be provided.

The costs are not necessarily the same between these three solutions. It is therefore necessary to study your needs and choose the best solution to create your e-commerce site in Cameroon.

Give visibility to your online store in Cameroon!

Whether you choose one or the other solution to create your e-commerce site in Cameroon, the important thing will be to be found by your future customers!
