| What is e-Commerce |
 |
e-Commerce is the conducting of business communication and transactions via the internet.
There are a few major components of an e-commerce website.
Catalogue display of an e-commerce website refers to the page(s) that will display the products and services. Users will be able to browse the catalogue display and select any product/service they would like to purchase.
Shopping cart is integrated with the catalogue display. It allows users to select the products and services they would like to purchase. The shopping cart will keep in its memory all the items the user has selected to purchase. When users decide they are done shopping, they move to the check out page, which allows them to view their entire order and make any necessary changes.
Payment Gateway refers to the page responsible for collecting the billing information of the user. Once users have confirmed their purchases at the checkout page, the payment gateway is the final step of the order process. When the transaction is complete, the user receives the appropriate message.
Administration Module will provide the website’s administrator to add/edit/delete/pause all products/services within the site. The administration module can also provide detailed statistics regarding the activity of your website such as sales per hour, conversation rates, etc.
Companies that anticipate repeat customers use customer profiles. The client profiles can be stored to facilitate the order process of their next purchase. This will dramatically increase the usability of your website as repeat customers will only have to type in their username and password as opposed to all their personal and billing information for every purchase.
There are many things to consider when dealing with e-commerce. The
process involves a lot of research, work and analysis. The team at
