Free resources for Shops & Ecommerce

High-street shops, online stores and makers who sell products.

Selling products is a margin and stock business: every price has to leave room for the cost of the goods, the stock has to be there when customers want it, and paid traffic has to earn back what it costs.

This selection starts with margins, then suppliers and stock, then selling online and keeping customers.

These are general small-business resources chosen because they fit this kind of work. Unless its name says otherwise, none is made only for one industry — adapt the wording and figures to your business.
