How much time each week would I need to budget for web upkeep, shipping, billing, etc?
The development of this program was focused on minimizing the amount of time you would need to maintain the site. The learning curve is very short. Once you are comfortable with how your site works, daily maintenance is quite small. If you have no changes/updates that need to be made then no time is required. If you need to re-merchandise a category or put some goods on sale, you will probably spend about 20-30 minutes. Once business begins to build, a small area dedicated to shipping is usually a good idea just to keep things organized. Billing is automatic. The customer enters their credit card number, clicks the ‘Submit’ button and the money is instantly in your account.
