You can subscribe to Zencart 2.0.0, an AWS Marketplace product and launch an instance from the product’s AMI using the Amazon EC2 launch wizard.

To launch an instance from the AWS Marketplace using the launch wizard

  • Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/
  • From the Amazon EC2 dashboard, choose Launch Instance. On the Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) page, choose the AWS Marketplace category on the left. Find a suitable AMI by browsing the categories, or using the search functionality. Choose Select to choose your product.

  • On the Choose an Instance Type page, select the hardware configuration and size of the instance to launch. When you’re done, choose Next: Configure Instance Details.
  • On the next pages of the wizard, you can configure your instance, add storage, and add tags. For more information about the different options you can configure, see Launching an Instance. Choose Next until you reach the Configure Security Group page.
  • The wizard creates a new security group according to the vendor’s specifications for the product. The security group may include rules that allow all IP addresses (0.0.0.0/0) access on SSH (port 22) on Linux or RDP (port 3389) on Windows. We recommend that you adjust these rules to allow only a specific address or range of addresses to access your instance over those ports

    Today, people have very less time to purchase items, by going to physical stores. They prefer to browse their mobile devices or PC and shop online. Having an ecommerce site for your business will help you to capture this market base and keep your customers informed about all your latest products and services.

    Ecommerce website owners should always keep in mind the three dimensions of security – confidentiality, integrity and availability. Business owners should develop a good strategy that can help to make the site and transactions secured. To avoid any hackers gain access to important confidential data, include encryption methods for any data transactions

    No, as such there are no limits on the size. The biggest benefit of having an online store is that you can add unlimited products and catalogues and at the same time you can grow your customer base as you require.

    If you are a non-tech, fully hosted solutions are ideal for you but if you want more flexibility you can opt for self hosted solutions.

    All online sellers need GST number for selling taxable items. Rules are strict and you should not sell without it. Penalty is heavy if you’re caught. Moreover, marketplaces won’t allow you to register as sellers without GST number for selling taxable items.

    For selling branded products, some companies require merchants to get authorization to sell online and that  is brand authorization. But, if you have a purchase invoice, you may not require brand authorization.
