e-Commerce, Running an online business
 e-Commerce (Electronic Commerce) is the buying and
selling of goods and
services across the
Internet. An e-commerce
site can be as simple as a catalog page with a phone number, or it can range all the way to a real-time credit card
processing site where customers can purchase downloadable goods and have them delivered immediately after their order
with no human contact at all. Electronic commerce merchants can range from the small business with a few items for sale all the way to a large on-line retailer such as
Amazon.com.
Why Your Business Needs a Commerce Enabled Website:
- Over 20 million people are currently buying products and services through the Internet.
