PHP Web Customized eCommerce

What is eCommerce?

E-Commerce is the activity of buying and selling of merchandise and services over the Internet and other computer networks. E-Commerce websites generally focus on either business-to-consumer or business-to-business operations, since the audiences for each are often quite different. With the help of e-Commerce, a seller can sell his/her products throughout the global bazaar 24*7, all year round.

The Essential Mechanisms of eCommerce

• Online stores − websites that present online catalogs. Sometimes many 'virtual storefronts' will be grouped together as a 'virtual mall.'
• Data collection − the collection and use of demographic data from customers and potential users through website-based forms.
• Electronic data interchange (EDI) − the business-to-business exchange of data for the execution of online purchases.
• Visitor retention − the use of email and other media tools to remind potential users and customers of an online store's existence and activities.
• Business-to-business buying and selling.
