Last time I spoke with you all, I had just created a new site for Comedian Lance Thompson. Since then, he has booked more shows and he’snow ready to start selling t-shirts and DVD’s both in person and on his website. So what’s the solution? Should he build a new site? Sign up with Shopify or another E-commerce platform, or should he build on the site that we already created?
We decided that the best solution is to extend the site that he already has. In order to sell products on his site, we must add a shopping cart and connect it to a payment processor. We will also give people the option to download a digital version of the DVD or have a hard copy shipped directly to them. It sounds like a lot of work, but wit the help of WordPress, Woocommerce and Paypal/Stripe or Square, we can make it happen.
The look of his site won’t change much. We will add a shop section that will include a picture and description of the product and an add to cart button. The customer will purchase their product and receive a receipt. Easy peasy….
Stay tuned for the end results. In the meantime, comment below and let me know your thoughts on the chosen solution.
