Who This Is For

First-Time eCommerce Founders

You want to sell products or services online and need a structured plan to build, launch, and grow your eCommerce business.

Product Sellers Moving Online

You already sell physical or digital products and want to build your own eCommerce platform rather than relying solely on marketplaces.

Marketplace Builders

You're building a platform that connects buyers and sellers, like Etsy or Depop. This course helps you scope and plan a marketplace MVP.

B2B eCommerce Entrepreneurs

You're building a wholesale, dropshipping, or B2B commerce solution. This course covers the specific research, scoping, and compliance decisions you face.

Non-Technical eCommerce Founders

You don't code. You'll learn how to scope and communicate your eCommerce idea so developers or no-code tools can bring it to life.

What You'll Learn

Every session is hands-on and artifact-driven. You'll leave with real documents, wireframes, and plans, not just notes.

Founder Mindset & AI Orientation

Shift into execution mode. Learn to use AI as an amplifier for your eCommerce build, not a shortcut.

eCommerce Idea Clarity

Define what your eCommerce platform does, who it serves (consumers, businesses, governments), and whether it solves a real commerce problem.

eCommerce Market & Competitor Research

Research eCommerce competitors (Amazon, Etsy, Depop), understand GDPR, AML, and PCIDSS compliance, and find your niche market.

Feature Prioritization (Needs/Shoulds/Wants)

Use MoSCoW prioritization to scope your eCommerce MVP, from secure checkout to nice-to-have personalization features.

Wireframes & Prototypes

Sketch your eCommerce product's core user experience across product listings, checkout flows, and order management before writing code.

User Stories & Business Requirements

Write the documents that bridge your eCommerce vision and your developer, including payment processing, shipping, and supplier flows.

eCommerce Go-to-Market Planning

Build your launch roadmap, think through funding (bootstrapping, investors), and plan how to acquire your first customers.

AI Tools at Every Step

Use ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Figma AI, Cursor, Shopify AI, and more to accelerate every phase of your eCommerce build.
