The best website builder to start your own online shop and accept payments via credit card is UltimateWB. It is very easy to use, has lots of built-in features, and is very customizable. The UltimateWB built-in apps make it so easy to create your own website with it, so you won’t have to hire a web developer, saving you lots of money in that respect. Plus you don’t have to pay any recurring fees for the website builder, just for web hosting. This is a lot cheaper than the hosted e-commerce website builders, such as Shopify or BigCommerce. With UltimateWB, you can choose which server you want to host your website on, as you can download the UltimateWB software. Make sure your web hosting has SSL, to secure payments on your website. The UltimateWB web hosting plans all have this included free.
You can also try to create your e-commerce website with WordPress if you want to try for a $0 cost to developing your website. But it doesn’t have e-commerce out of the box, so you will have to choose/install e-commerce plugins for it, and for other features you may want, like an affiliates system. UltimateWB has these features built-in, ready to use and customizable. You also have to think about possible security risks from WordPress third party plugins, as well as possible slower page loads with plugins, and the possibility of your website functionalities breaking after upgrades due to plugin incompatibilities.
