You also have to create a merchant account through your bank for the processing of credit card or you can just use the free merchant services like AlertPay and PayPal. Make a page on the site that collects client information. Offer your clients the chance to get emails about your business. Integrate promotions and discounts on your site to create interest and business.

Then, you can ask your clients to be particular about their needs. This will remove misunderstandings and confusion. Offer your customer a place on your site where they can tell their particular restrictions and requirements. You also need to offer the clients a range of delivery procedures. Offer them the choices on how to receive their orders. Specify the location you are servicing. You can ask for extra fee for clients outside your servicing location. Customers might request particular stores where you can purchase their groceries. You can then tell them about the stores that you give your support to. Give them the choice of utilizing your endorsed stores or, for an added fee, shop their items at their preferred stores.

Lastly, make a policy for returned items. Implement a fee for foods returned if the client wants to change the items he ordered. Give a one-time return for food like vegetables or fruits. As clients online if they want to waive their option to return goods. Give a discount to waive their preference to return items.
