Make yourself satisfied, before proceeding to have a third party payment system for your online grocery business. You entering into relationship with a good one, it would benefit you as well as your customers. Arrangement with some of them may be cheaper, but check whether they are reputable enough to enter into arrangement, to protect your credibility in the market.

Make sure that your contact details appear in your business cards, advertisements, publication and press release, so that customers could reach you quickly.

In case you run the online grocery store from your home base and do not have a physical store front, don't ever place your home address in advertising or in your site. All you can do is give your city reference, and use a safe place to show your items to your local customers.
