1)How to ship our products into any country outside inside. To be specific US, UK, Russia, Iran, Germany and France(as per my research these are the potential markets)? How to find the shipment companies?
2)What type of payment gateway do I need for the specific currencies of countries that I listed above can accept?
3)What are the merchant charges for international payments?
4)How to work on dispute resolution?
5)What type of website theme do I need for e-commerce?What type of online security do I need?What are the yearly website maintenance charges?(I already have a coder)
6)cash on delivery does it can be implemented for Tea e-commerce?(national/international)
7)What are the legal paperwork that I have to do before opening the venture?
8) Is there any specific government regulations for e-commerce companies?
and anything that is necessary to know for opening a Tea e-commerce.
