Website Design and Development

Electronic Commerce

Electronic commerce, or e-commerce, allows users of your website to purchase your products and/or services on-line. It is often referred to as an on-line store.

Implementing e-commerce capabilities involves developing software to handle security issues around paying on-line, inventory tracking, user accounts, as well as paying more for website hosting as there are special requirements for the server. Websites that support e-commerce almost always use CMS to allow the owner to update their inventory of goods and services. Normally, it is still up to the business owner to fill the orders and ship them to the customer.

The real power in e-commerce is that customers can window shop and purchase your goods and services 24/7/365, and they are not bound by location (except where importing and exporting restrictions apply).
