If you sell only one or couple of products and do not add products or services often, you don’t require an online catalog.

If you are planning to sell ebooks, reports, whitepapers etc. I would suggest you to consider using clickbank’s marketplace. That way, you don’t have to worry about getting a credit card merchant account.

Around 90 percent of all sales transaction occur online are by credit card payments. To accept credit card payment over Internet, you must first have a merchant account. A merchant account allows a vendor to process credit card transactions. If you built a web store online with one of web store service providers, you will see that they offer gateways to one or several merchant account providers and have partnership with them. In general, you get a better deal with them. However, as charges vary significantly from one merchant account provider to another, make sure you shop around before committing yourself to one.
