This service is available through banks or payment service providers.
1. Start With Your Business Name
The first thing to do (after you decide what you want to sell, of course) is to choose a fabulous,
memorable business name that no one else is using. You can conduct a corporate name search to make sure it’s not already in use.
“Welcome to Serbia” team can assist in these process.
2. Secure Your Domain Name and Website
Ideally, you’ll get your business name as your domain name, but if it’s not available, choose a URL that’s easy to say and spell, and relates to your business.
The design of your e-commerce site may be the biggest business expense you have. But you want to ensure that it’s not only visually appealing, but also functional.

To make money online, you need to secure an internet ready bank account called an internet merchant account (IMA). High street banks can set these accounts up for you, although they have several requirements that you will need to meet to qualify for an account.
Our team of Serbian company formation consultants (WTS) can assist in these stages.

7. Choose a payment service provider (PSP)
Once you have an IMA for your business, you will need to decide on a payment service provider (PSP), otherwise known as a payment processor or payment gateway. Some banks will suggest a PSP when issuing the merchant account, but if possible it pays to shop around as the charge rates differ between them: it’s nearly always possible to find a cheaper deal.
Our local partners will integrate the World’s most commonly used payment gateways and methods into your online store: Stripe; PayPal; BrainTree; Visa/Mastercard/Amex.
