New online business advice

[Markss]

Hi Everyone.
I am new to the site which looks great and very informative too. I have been researching for about 6 months to start an online gift store. I have been careful to source UK based suppliers which will ensure speedy deliveries to customers but also I want to be sure suppliers have strong ethics about modern day slavery and where they buy their products from. It will be drop ship and the website is being developed looking at a small range of good products. whilst it is a saturated market I have completed a business plan with marker research too. I wanted to ask if anyone can recommend a good payment processor that I can use when customers pay for their orders. PayPal is trusted and well known. and also a low cost business bank account. I intend to start as a sole trader. Any tips and advice greatly appreciated.

I think PayPal is one of the most expensive but everyone trusts it.

Hiya, both PayPal and Stripe payment systems are trustworthy. Both of these payment systems use the latest encryption technology to keep your financial data safe, and their customer service teams are well-equipped to handle any questions or issues you might have. Even if you have a problem with a transaction, they have processes in place to quickly resolve the issue and get you your money. Plus, they both offer fraud protection, so you can rest assured that your money is secure. I recently ordered wholesale roses from https://fiftyflowers.com/collections/roses with Paypal checkout and I was 100% sure about the trustworthiness.
