setting up basic e-commerce site?
Discussion
Hi, looking for some ideas/costs around a v basic e-commerce solution. i dont know where to start as Google shows a vast array inc wordpress, shopify, wix, ecwid, bigcommerce, woocommerce etc....
My OH runs a training course - 2 days, upto 15 people, 12 per year. Long story short, post covid/redundancy a 3rd party have no sales people involved. My OH has been asked to supply kit directly on the course, weve done some DD with accountant re vat/duty all good
The big issue is my OH doesnt have capacity to deal with 15 peoples orders/fulfilments/payments and deliver the course as is 2 days solid 8am-6pm. Its medical so not something i can pick up plus i work FT. Id like to get a basic website available with card payment to offload this. The products can be sorted to delegates before course finishes.
Requirements:
- delegates create online accounts, usual SSL/GDPR etc
- approx 15 products are available individually or "bundles" (bronze, silver gold etc)
- % discount for items and bigger % for bundles eg possibly a code
- stock control eg we have zero of item x. Item x is in bundle silver so is out of stock/will follow later
- sales only on the course so just 2 days per month
What do people use? Im a IT developer and have watched a few youtube videos - sure i can get my head around in a few weeks but the "prettiness" isnt something i do!!! Can freelancers/guru.com do it faster/cheaper/better? cheers

Had a quick look and took me 2 minutes to setup a free saas version - i imported 10 products/prices from excel (free version limit), set up some categories, added multi photos, txt, videos all in a few hours as a proof of concept. Have a meeting next week to discuss some details like dispatching to us, returns, paymentsIntegrates with Wordpress - but also embeddable anywhere. Has account structures, etc.

When we are nearer 100% certain its going ahead, i can then upgrade to include stock control, discount vouchers (single item or category) and domain name but even then its only £15pm. All good
