The importance of eCommerce gateways for retailers

As a retail analyst, I have found that a lot of smaller merchants hesitate to install an e-commerce gateway. Since it is an area they don’t know too much about they stay away from it altogether rather than use a specialist company to handle it for them. Starting an e-commerce account is often a roadblock in a lot of business set ups, until you do it you are in essence shutting yourself off from business from half your customers. I have managed to convince the majority of my smaller and more hesitant clients to add a shopping cart system to their site and once they have got it set up, the difference is amazing.
