One thing to remember is that most hosting solutions offer integrated solutions with merchant accounts. This means you don't have to pay a web developer to create a shopping cart from scratch. First find out what hosting solutions support your merchant account without any real programming. Most hosting solutions are similar and the biggest feature to you would be to have an e-commerce solution without the programing. Then your web developer costs should be around $1,000 or less. If you are looking for something cheaper you can find developers under the $1,000 price range as well as there are developers outside the US with very low prices, however as in everything in life - you get what you pay for...

Whether or not you have a true e-commerce solution should not prevent you from having a website and taking payments. There are services like Paypal and Google checkout that can be integrated in your site, obviously having an a truly integrated solution would be the best option it is not necessary if you can't afford it in the beginning.

Good Luck!

With all due respect, a couple of statements in this post are borderline inaccurate and I think only add to the
confusion and misconceptions that abound regarding ecommerce sites.

"most hosting solutions offer integrated solutions with merchant accounts" I have never found this to be the case in my many years in the processing industry. First of all, so-called integrated solutions are almost always a big mistake because they lock the merchant into non-interchangable solutions which by design cost much more than they should. Secondly, all the necessary components of an ecommerce site, (a) merchant account (b) payment gateway and (c) shopping cart, all all available as dependable and affordable third party solutions that require no appreciable programming effort or compatibility issues with the web hoster.

"First find out what hosting solutions support your merchant account ..." . Compatibilityi between web hoster and merchant account is a non-issue because the website links with the payment gateway, not the merchant account. The only compatibility issue involved is between the merchant account provider and the gateway provider. This is hardly ever a problem if you deal with the mainstream providers of the processing industry. Of course, if you deal with "brand X" providers (which you should not) that's a different story.
