Frequently Asked Questions

Right where you are today, exploring, wondering, questioning and digesting the possibilities of online – we have been there! Our family started the same way, but we didn't have YouTube or the wealth of information (or distractions) that are available today.

The most important thing you can consider is that we know what you feel, the fears, the overwhelming distractions by all the people that claim to be pure ecommerce experts. Unlike others, we won't wait for money to change hands to help. This website is full of free information and if we can point you in the direction that is somewhere other than us and its in your best interest – we will.

Our goal is not money – we have made that already. Our goal is to help you identify what you want and point out the most efficient way to get there in the ecommerce field. And more importantly to side step the myriad of land-mines of ventures and problems you might get into without our help. We have a moral obligation to that end and the big box subscription businesses don't like us for that.

When we started online everybody said that America online would crush all competition. Then it became eBay, then it was Craigslist, now it's Amazon and Chewy and all the different competitors out there. Guess what? We are still here and making a great living online, despite all the deep-pocketed competitors.

Competition does not matter for the strategic business owner. And you are on one of the most strategic online platforms to coach you along the way.

Some list and sell their websites directly on their website. We do not do that, why? We want to make absolutely certain that this is a good fit for us as well. We only want to work with somebody who we believe will succeed, so it starts with a telephone call and a brief conversation about where you want to go and who you are. And then if it's a good fit we can work with you.

Remember, anyone can do what we have done successfully online. But it does take a certain thinking process and ability to overcome mind blocking thoughts to succeed. We hope you are right for a Pro Ecommerce solution!

When you run an e-commerce store selling products or even information for that matter, you give people access to the products or information after they have paid for it. As part of our training, we will help you select the payment method that is best suited for your type of online business. Some may use PayPal, Square, or other types of credit card processing services.

Set up is fairly straightforward and not as complicated as you think. But we will cross that bridge when we get there.

What's an e-commerce store for example if a customer orders some products, they pay for the products today, you get the money usually the same day and you ship the products the same day. So if you sell $100 worth of merchandise you might make $50 in net profit.

If you purchase a ProBuilt Ready2Go Website, you can be up and running the same 24 hours. There are some steps that require customizing to your choice, phone number, mailing address, etc., but we walk you through all those steps. Most of those steps can be done in 7-10 days.

Choosing a Custom Built site can take 2-4 weeks.

Shopify started in 2006, Wix in 2006, Squarespace in 2004.

It's important to note that the founders of ProEcommerce got their start online in 1994 and have been solely focused on this industry since then. There are generations of new start ups that do this or that, and they get funding and become popular, but does that make them the choice? No.

There are many, many choices for doing things wrong – we choose a unique approach. Remember, if anyone can do it (think free store builders), you will never be unique.

Sure, you can fail at anything even getting out of bed in the morning. You could have failed to learn to walk, to learn to read or write, to make a friend or graduate. Some of you may have failed at something, but did it kill you?

No.

Failure is part of learning and the sooner you get that engrained in who you are the faster you will succeed. If you have failed, use it as a badge of honor, to yourself. No matter how bad the failure, you MUST reference it as a lesson learned, something that made you stand up a little taller.

Do not allow a past failure keep you from taking immediate action and more importantly don't let the concern of failure prevent you from taking any action...

There are many buzzwords that people have used over the years, dropship, turnkey, internet in a box, etc.

Turnkey is basically a website that is built, setup, ready to go so someone can put the key in and drive the vehicle. Yes, this is a turnkey solution but we go a bit past that definition.

Some businesses offer turnkey business models that are half populated with data or have sample data setup. They want you to pay them more to setup the rest after the initial purchase. We don't do that.

Our "turnkey" store is a fully finished ready to go store.

Now, no matter where you buy a website, you still will have things to do like the car analogy, (open the door), (turn on the lights), (put a seatbelt on), etc. Here, you will have to update some items on the store like phone, address, etc. But for the most part, yes, it does qualify as a turnkey operation.

We will train you step-by-step. You become part of our ProEcommerce family and family is well cared for. Additionally, we plan on keeping up with the technology and all the changes so you should too and you do that by keeping in touch with us.

We offer lifetime support to anybody who purchases a website from us, you will not find this type of support anywhere else.

No! We do not recommend the use of toll-free lines.

Consequently, there are companies out there who claim to be ecommerce experts that tell you that you must use a toll-free line. That is hogwash. More importantly, its expensive and completely unnecessary.

Toll-free lines were originally set up as people had to make expensive long-distance calls.

With most people using mobile phones, that is a thing of the past. While toll-free numbers allow you to track the phone number of everyone who calls you (they cannot hide their number) that is just not necessary.

And most toll-free numbers have been used for generations by various companies which will cost you money in the long run since you pay per minute to use a toll-free number.

The majority of the cost of running a website is building the website finding the graphics and creating the contact, help pages and importing the data and images. All of that is done.

There will always be secondary smaller expenses, for example every year you have to renew your domain name for about $15. If you want to have an automated data feed to keep your data updated that can cost between $75 and $150 a month but that is completely optional and you can turn it on when you're ready.

And everyone who has a website for the most part, pays hosting. It's like rent for your website and that can cost between $19 and $29 a month.

If you choose to use a commercial mailing address like UPS shipping center, that can cost about $15 a month. We will show you how to get a free phone number as well as free marketing material and little or no cost credit card processing set up.
