Summary

This textbook centers on the three main stages of launching an online store: preparation before opening, planning during opening, and operations after opening. It introduces key operational skills and combines them with major activity tasks for hands-on practice. The textbook mainly covers the basic knowledge and skills of opening an online store. Its content is divided into seven projects, including planning an online store, opening a store, shooting and enhancing product images, decorating a store, promoting the store and products, managing online transactions and services, and delivering products. There are 61 practical activities in total. Through this course, students can master most of the operational skills for opening an online store, thereby improving their practical e-commerce skills and initially developing the ability to start a business independently through an e-commerce online store.

Editor's review

This book unfolds across three stages—preparation before opening an online store, planning during opening, and operations after opening—dividing store planning, store setup, product photography and enhancement, store decoration, promotion, online transactions and service, and product delivery into seven projects, with 61 practical activities, making for a high density of skills training. Its highlight is task-driven, complete workflows: readers can follow the project sequence to complete the key operations from opening a store to running it, rather than stopping at concepts. It is suitable for e-commerce courses in vocational colleges and also serves as a hands-on manual for beginners preparing to open their own stores. When reading, it is best to learn by doing: after completing each practical activity, check it against your own store or a simulated store, gradually accumulating reusable operational experience.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Vocational college e-commerce students who need to complete store-opening and operations training by project
  • Beginners preparing to open an online store who want to systematically master the store-opening process
  • Store owners who have opened an online store but operate it irregularly and need to shore up skills in photography, decoration, promotion, and more
  • Students at e-commerce training institutions who need task-based, actionable teaching materials

Not a good fit for

  • Readers hoping to study e-commerce platform algorithms or data models in depth; this book focuses on basic operational skills
  • Readers who only want to understand e-commerce industry trends and do not plan to actually open or run a store; practical tasks make up a large proportion
  • Readers with no basic computer or internet skills who are unwilling to practice hands-on; the learning threshold is relatively high

Reading tips

  1. Study in the order of the seven projects, and after each practical activity, perform it once in a simulated store.
  2. When learning product photography and enhancement, practice with products you plan to list and compare the before and after.
  3. Turn the promotion and online transaction service chapters into a daily operations checklist and refer to it regularly after opening.
  4. When studying in a group, divide tasks such as decoration, promotion, and customer service, then review each other's practical results.

Do all 61 practical activities need to be completed?
