Your strategy
The key issues for anyone making a decision on the future of their ecommerce strategy are what part of the total revenue is going to be derived from online sales and what makes your online store competitive against other online stores.

Preparation for e-retailer
In addition to selecting software, you need to consider how you are going to organise and budget for :-

When selecting ecommerce software you need to ask yourself how quickly does it help you to start fulfilling web orders, what investments are required to scale it up both in hardware and in recurring licencing costs, what will the cost of integrating to your existing web site be, what skills are required to maintain the site and can that be done inhouse or by your existing web design company?
When your site becomes a top tier shopping site, you also need to consider what investment is required for connectivity.

E-retailer supports the use of server hosting close to the backbone, another significant advantage for high volume sites.
