Where to start

1 · Define products and customers

List product counts, variants, target countries and current sales channels. Check whether product photos and descriptions are ready.

2 · Map the sale

Identify payment, shipping, invoicing, stock and return processes. Specify which integrations must be included in the proposal.

3 · Prioritise the first release

Separate launch essentials from later improvements. Give mobile product pages and checkout particular attention.

4 · Agree acceptance criteria

Include sample orders, payment checks and management training in the delivery scope.

Questions you may have

Compare options against products, integrations and maintenance capacity before choosing.
