"Ecommerce means that a website can become an asset to your company, it can earn money and represent your company on the Internet at the same time."
Until recently, websites were limited to giving potential customers information about a company and what it has to offer. Visitors to a website could do little more than view this information, email you or fill in a form and make arrangements by a more traditional means. Ecommerce enables you to sell your products and services from start to finish online. A prospective customer can find your website, read about and view your products and then pay for them and order them online.
From a technology point of view Ecommerce gives a website new functionality. Prospective customers can browse through your products or services, choose items, pay for them securely and make arrangements for delivery. This whole process is seamless and online. A 'shopping cart system' totals a customers purchases and works out all the money details (adding delivery charges, tax, etc.). A secure server with a secure link takes credit card information and processes it online. Order details can then be forwarded to a warehouse or fulfillment point.
