E-commerce Websites - A detailed explanation of what a E-commerce Website is.

E-commerce Websites
E-commerce is short for ‘Electronic Commerce’ which in simple terms means the ability to sell products and/or services via the internet. The process is essentially no more than a mail order facility where orders are placed over the internet rather than via a phone call.

As with the Content Management Systems (CMS), the products and/or services being offered can be easily added to, edited or deleted via the online CMS.

There are many advantages of selling via e-commerce, some of the main benefits are listed below:
  • Global Market - Everyone in the world who is connected to the internet can order from your site giving any business with an e-commerce website the ability to sell globally – if required.

  • Convenience – Customers can shop online at a time to suit them without having to leave the comfort of their own home or office, therefore saving travel time as well as the cost of fuel and parking (not to mention the stress of shopping!).

  • Costs Savings – There are many cost savings to running an e-commerce website when compared to setting up a shop. You don’t necessarily require any additional premise or staff and depending on the products you sell and the speed in which your suppliers can meet your orders you can even run with no or very low stock levels.

As security is always an issue, all of the e-commerce websites we design and develop use either an online payment merchant such as World Pay, PayPal, SagePay or HSBC to process the credit card transactions, or where the customer would rather process the payment themselves via an actual or virtual PDQ machine, dedicated SSL certificates are purchased. Either way the payment page show the purchaser the all important ‘https’ in the address bar as well as the Golden Padlock symbol.
