Things Needed to start Online Store
If you’re yet to start an online business, there is no any other better time than today
Once you have a computer with an internet connection you can get started without acquiring any special skills.
The five major things you need to start an online store include:
- A Domain name
A domain name is your ONLINE IDENTITY. It is your website name. You can think of a domain name as an address where internet users can access your website.
It is better to go for a domain name that ends with .com.
While domain name ending in .ng and other domain endings are becoming more popular for local business search engine ranking, people are more familiar with domain that ends in .com.
For a .com domain name service provider, you can register with Siteground. And for a .com.ng or .ng domain name, you can register with Web4Africa.
- Web Hosting Plan
A web hosting plan service provider stores your website on their servers while they serve your website to your customers and visitors.
You will need to purchase a hosting plan from a good web hosting service provider to ensure 100% uptime of your online store.
Hosting plans are billed with regards to the disk space that suites your business.
Some good hosting companies are Siteground, Hostgator, godaddy and namecheap.
Siteground offers 24 hours technical support.
The payment for your hosting plan can be monthly, semi-annual, or annually depending on your plan.
- SSL certificate
This is a certificate that adds a special security layer on your website, so you can accept sensitive information and other personal information.
This is required for acceptance of payments on your website.
- A product catalog
A list of the details of each product you are selling on your online stores.
The details on product catalog include product features, descriptions, dimensions, price, weight, availability, colour, and many more.
This, usually help your buyers to make the right decision when buying a product from your online store.
- A shopping cart
A piece of software that keeps the record of the items a buyer has ‘picked up’ from the online store.
The software takes records of items selected by a customer to buy until the transaction is completed.
Steps to Start Online Store in Nigeria
Running an online store is one of the profitable ways to earn income from online. Here are some steps to start an online store:
- Choose a product line or niche
- Research for Suppliers of your products
- Get a Business Name
- Register your Business with CAC
- Setup your online store (software
- Add products on your online store
- Add secured payment gateway (for accepting payments)
- Choose between dropshipping or shipping your own products
- Adopt effective marketing strategies for your online store
Let us explore the steps in detail …………
Choose a product line or niche
The first step towards setting up a successful online store in Nigeria is to choose a product line or niche you want to go into.
A product line is a group of related products you sell to your customers as a brand or company. These related products can produce by one or different manufacturers.
In choosing a product line, you can’t randomly select products that you like.
There are five criteria that any product you are choosing must meet before you can add it to the list of potential products you are offering to your customers.
First, the product must be of high demand in the market.
If the product is new in the market, it should be such that it can solve the problem of many people and they should be only few or no reliable solution for the problem yet.
No need trying to sell something that no one would be interested in buying or something that is not solving any problem.
To figure out a product that will be of high demand in the market isn’t difficult.
Head over to Amazon’s best-seller list, and check out the well-received items under your niche
Do the same with eBay’s best-seller list.
And AliExpress’s best-seller list.
Few questions to answer that will help you are:
- Are people buying this product very well from the popular online stores like Konga and Jumia Nigeria?
- What is the rough estimate of people buying this product?
- Are they lots of online ads running for this product?
For products that are new in the market:
- Are there many persons who would be interested in buying this product because it solves a problem or fills need?
Your answers to these questions will help you determine if the demand for the product here in Nigeria is high or not.
If your answers are not in affirmative, it’s better to find another product line
Secondly, people must be comfortable buying the products online.
Certain kind of products doesn’t sell online.
For example; food stuff is fast selling on local stores but it will not sell online because local food stuff store are available everywhere.
Again, food stuffs are bought for immediate consumption and usage.
Thirdly, the products must not be a perishable product.
Food items are perishable products and cannot sell online because of spoilage which may occur within the time of delivering.
And nobody would want to buy spoilt product.
Fourthly, the products must be of high quality.
An Online clothes store has relatively low chance of success because most people would prefer to buy clothes from local boutiques where they are sure of quality of clothes they buy.
Buying wears online would be a great risk, as buyers cannot physically ascertain the quality, size and texture of material they are buying.
Finally, I recommend you don’t go into a product line or niche you know nothing about.
If you find a product that fit the above criteria but the product is new to you, take your time to do some market study.
You will discover that the more you know your niche or how your industry functions, the better your chances of building a successful online store.
Research for suppliers of your products
After you’ve decide a product line to sell online or niche to go into, the next thing to do is to research for suppliers who can supply the products constantly to you at cheaper prices.
If you are not a manufacturer of those products, you will need to source the supplier of your product line.
And if you must make profit from your online store, you need to buy your product at lower prices and then sell at higher prices.
So, for your success, you need to find suppliers with low prices and high quality products.
Depending on the kind of products you intend selling online, you can either get supply from local or international markets.
Take for instance; if you intended selling products like mobile phone accessories and spare parts, it will cheaper when you buy them directly from Chinese manufacturers on platforms like MiniInTheBox or Aliexpress
Products like hand-made bags and ornamentals will be cheaper when source from local suppliers than foreign suppliers.
Getting a supplier of your product line is not difficult. The internet and your local market are your best bet when searching for direct suppliers of your products line.
For example, if you decide to deal on mobile phones, simply Google, ‘mobile phones manufacturers in china’. You will see a lot of mobile phones manufacturers in China, popup.
Get a Business Name
Getting a business name is next thing you need to do after you’ve gotten your suppliers.
To come up with a good business name isn’t as easy as it seems.
Every potential business name has its upsides and downsides.
It’s easy to get stuck while trying to analysis every name that comes to your mind.
Sometimes, you may brainstorm a good business name faster. But more often, you have to struggle before you can come up with one that will fit your business.
Many at times, you can end up getting stuck.
In such a case, I advice you give yourself 1 – 2 weeks hard deadline to get a good business name for your online store.
Otherwise you’ll end up spending months while trying to figure out a business name.
To help you get a good business name for your online store, there are four things you need to take into consideration.
These four things include:
- Clarity
Choose a business name that is clear, simple and easier for customers to recall.
If customers can’t understand your brand initially, they will find it difficult to remember it later on.
- Uniqueness
Your customers can’t remember your brand name if it isn’t unique.
A unique brand name grabs the attention of a customer. If your brand name is unique, you set yourself apart from your competitors.
- Easy Branding
Your business name is a blueprint for all the decisions you take when developing your brand down the road.
You can change logo, slogan, and value proposition, but it’s exceedingly difficult to change your business name without losing some of the strength of your online brand.
- Availability of the business name
You need to do a name search to make sure your business name isn’t already taken.
Two places to do names search are Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria (CAC) website and a domain name service provider.
Apart from the legal risks; another brand having a name similar to your brand name can create confusion for your customers and damage your online reputation.
This is true of your domain name. It has to be distinct, memorable as your business name and easy to associate with your brand.
Register your business with CAC
Customers are always careful when buying products online. So, don’t think your customers don’t care if your business is legally registered or not
When they find out your business is registered with the appropriate government agency, they’ll be more comfortable dealing with you.
The moment you get a business name for your online store, the next thing to do is to register your business with CAC of Nigeria.
The website you launched in your business name is not enough to make you the legal owner of the business.
You must register your business to get its legal protection. Otherwise, you might wake up one day only to discover that someone has hijacked your brand from you.
Again, other brands need to be sure your business is licensed and reputable before doing business with you on the internet.
Set up your online store
Setting up an online store yourself may sound a bit scary if you’re not tech savvy.
In other not to mess things up, you can hire us or the service of an expert website developer. But if you’re smart enough you can do the set up yourself.
There are a lots of technical details involve in setting up an online store but trust me, I’ll walk you through the process.

Setting up Online store on an existing online store
If you have products you want to sell online but don’t have enough money to set up your own store, you can create an online store on any of the popular stores in Nigeria.
Popular Nigerian Online stores like Jumia and Konga present platforms for business owners/vendors to set up stores on their website while they collect commission on sales and help the vendors to deliver the goods to the end users.
Let’s see how to setup/create an online store on Jumia, as an example.
Three things are require for setting up an online store on Jumia. They include:
- Mail address and phone number
- Details of your company (address, legal name, etc.)
- Bank account details
As a new vendor/seller, you have to undergo a 3-step process before you can set up your online store on jumia.
The first step is registration
Next, you undergo training
Lastly, list your products to start selling.
Step #1. Registration:
- Visit Jumia’s website and register as a vendor using this link
- Fill in all the required information. The information to fill includes seller account information, business information, bank account and summary.
Registration process usually takes around 5 minutes.
Step #2. Training:
After the registration, if your application is approved, Jumia will invite you for a training either online or offline. Their offline training takes place in Ikeja, Lagos office.
The training is meant to train vendors on how to upload their product on their jumia seller center dashboard and the terms of selling on jumia.
Step #3. Product Listing
So, you have gone through the trainings and gathered all the required information, the next step is to list your products on jumia.
This is done on the jumia seller centre dashboard and must be approved by jumia if the detail provided in the listing meets their requirement.

Jumia bears the responsibility of advertising product on their website to end users. So you don’t have to bother yourself about raising money for Ads.
Based on Jumia’s popularity online, your product will get all the required attention online.
Get a delivery system
If you create an online store on an existing online store like such Jumia, you need not to worry about delivery service because the Company will take care of that.
But if you set up your own online store, you need a delivery system for delivery products to your customers.
You can develop your own in-house delivery system or use a third-party delivery service for this operation.
If you are targeting customers within a small geographical location such as your state or town, you can use your own in-house delivery system such your personal car or a newly bought vehicle.
The personal car or the newly bought vehicle should be dedicated to deliveries only.
But if you are targeting a larger geographical location and you cannot afford a good in-house delivery system that can cater for the large population, hire a third-party delivery service.
Examples of such third-party delivery services include Courier Plus, Post Express and FedEx.
Some of these services usually accept pay-on-delivery on behalf of you, while others do not that.
Weigh all options before making a choice.
Test Run
Test running is necessary to ensure your online store is working properly.
Cross-check all links on website to make sure there is no broken links.
Check to ensure all links redirect to the right pages.
It creates negative impression when customers have issues with one or more links on your website.
Check to see that all payments are processed in real-time.
Check your delivery system to be sure it works perfectly.
Check to see that your website is responsive and user-friendly.
Test runs them! Test runs them!! Test runs them!!! Test runs everything.
It is important you know you can’t test run everything yourself as you may miss out some things.
You need to involve your website developer or ask trained test buyers to carry out ghost shopping on your store and get their feedback.
Ensure to fix all glitches you discovered during the test running phase.
And once you don’t encounter any issue, you can go ahead to promote your online store.

Pay-per-click (PPC)
Pay-per-click is an online marketing model in which advertisers pay a certain fee each time one of their ads is clicked.
It’s a way of buying visitors to your website, rather than attempting to “gain” those visitors through search engine organically.
Most newbie entrepreneurs are afraid of running PPC (because they’re worried they’ll end up exhausting their budgets without making reasonable sales).
Meanwhile, some ecommerce stores who spend over $10k per month on PPC.
To someone who doesn’t know much about PPC, this might sound like an incredible amount of money.
But you might be surprise to hear that these companies have a 100% ROI on their PPC ads, meaning that for every $20 they spent on PPC ads, they get $50k worth of sales.
Does this sound so ridiculous anymore? I know you are getting it, now.
Some good news here:
According to Google’s Economic Impact Report, businesses make an average of $2 in revenue for every $1 they spend on AdWords.
So even if you’re not a good at PPC and your ads are of low quality, you can still make a reasonable profit off them.
