If you are a teacher, a hairdresser, a technical writer, etc., a personal relationship with your customers (to understand their specific needs, to adjust your offer adequately...) is likely to be key for your business. In these cases, an automatic order processing system on your website would not help you much.

Instead, consider the following 2 easy-to-implement pieces of advice, as they may help you extend your customer reach and develop your customer loyalty:

► Create a Contact Page. Then, insert a new block of text in this page, and use the Move Mode to place it on top of the form.

► Use online invoicing. These services usually charge a small per-transaction fees but offer you efficient online tools to prepare your invoices and new means of payments (Visa cards, MasterCards, Paypal) to increase your customer reach. With Paypal Online Invoicing, it is a 2 step setup:

1. Creating (or upgrading) your Paypal account
   
2. Preparing your invoice

The above statements still apply if:

• You customize the products you sell.
• Shipping cost depends on many factors.
• You prefer getting in touch with each of your customers.

Otherwise, you may install Paypal buttons to take orders automatically. The setup has four steps:

1. Creating (or upgrading) your Paypal account
2. Choosing the right kind of button
3. Enabling the e-commerce feature on your SimDif site
4. Creating the buttons

Note: Please check with Paypal that your customers won't need to have a Paypal account to pay you.

With a Pro site, you can collect donations through a Paypal button.
You just need to follow the next 3 steps:

1. Creating (or upgrading) your Paypal account
2. Enabling the e-commerce feature on your SimDif site
