Until recent advances in technology and server-side software (and making those tools available to the masses) setting up shop online was restricted to big business. The dream of owning an ecommerce capable website for small business was nothing more than that - a dream. In recent years (and even unscrupulous sales persons today), website consultants and developers have been known to quote $8,000-$30,000 to small retail shops hoping to offer just a sample of their products to online shoppers. These figures contain a massive mark-up to the developer as well as being completely out of reach to most small and medium sized business owners.

Merchant accounts in the past used to be a huge expense - one that most small business couldn't afford since they were already paying big bucks for the merchant account in-store.

"I was more focused on art and business..." My friend was more interested in retailing home decor products. In the last three years we both have done well, but that little local retail shop doesn't pull in the sales in the winter months of our tourist town. Regular, seasonal customers return every year, but they are always asking her to put more of her merchandise online so they can shop from home during the months they aren't nearby.
