Before project start

This article is machine translated.

This is a small helper, which may be supplemented gladly and no final list. Thinking along is absolutely permitted.

Basic questions

Do I know my customers?
- Is he already active in the business field or is he a newcomer?
- Is the budget available?
- Are the requirements defined?
- Is Isotope eCommerce even the right solution for the use case?
- What products are to be sold?
Is an existing Contao installation available? Which version?
Does the customer’s web hosting meet the system requirements?
Do I have an SSL(TLS) certificate (min. 256-bit)?
Is the maintenance after the initial creation of the webshop arranged? Who is responsible?
Am I a member of the Isotope eCommerce Circle? ;-)

There are a lot of providers on the market. Which one do I choose? What are the decision criteria?

Does the customer need the possibility for credit card payments?
Who takes care of the contracts with payment providers?
Do they need additional features such as automated credit checks?
Are there regional/country-specific restrictions?
What are the pricing structures?
Can one provider cover multiple payment methods (e.g. credit cards & LSV & debit cards) or should a different provider be chosen per payment method?
Who are my customers? For example, is it common to pay by credit card or LSV in the USA?

Especially for larger companies, Isotope cannot be operated completely independently. Interfaces to other systems may be necessary here.
