I am thinking of setting up an e-commerce venture. The business side (stock, fulfillment etc) of the project is in place and I am now looking at options for the site itself. I have looked at hosted solutions like shopcreator and channel advisor, customising something like OS Commerce, using an agency-developed platform, and totally bespoke. I have my eyes open and am fully aware that for a scalable feature rich site a not inconsiderable amount of investment is required. Hosted solutions are very tempting but I am concerned about the lack of control I would have especially if and when the business grows and develops. I am also concerned about SEO for hosted solutions.
I have the usual challenges involving startup capital, but I have heard of people entering into revenue sharing agreements with agencies in order to get up and running quickly, without a full upfront capital outlay , and as an incentive for agencies to deliver results.
Has anyone had any experience of this type of agreement, and if so could they give an example of how a typical agreement might be structured?
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
