Introduction to E-Commerce
What is e-commerce? E-commerce, also known as electronic commerce, is an online platform that allows businesses and individuals to buy and sell goods and services over the Internet. Using e-commerce, buyers can purchase products that are difficult to find elsewhere. The seller will be able to reap greater profits by selling to customers worldwide online 24/7, rather than in person through a physical storefront that requires them to stay open for trading. E-commerce building blocks are: an online website where products can be showcased and bought electronically, a shopping cart, and an online payment system.
There is no doubt that online shopping has revolutionized the way people buy and sell. Many have entered the online retail market either part-time to supplement their income or as full-time entrepreneurs. If you run a brick-and-mortar store in your community and are looking for additional sales channels to increase your profit margins, e-commerce is the answer.
Definition and Importance of E-Commerce
E-commerce is not a merger relationship between technology and business but, in some aspects, a catalyst for economic growth especially in developing countries. Both private citizens and businesses can benefit in a variety of ways, such as gaining access to new markets, improving productivity, developing new production methods, buying or selling products and services through the internet, and receiving services from government. E-commerce is good for businesses and consumers because digital communications now enable buyers and sellers to interact. It is good for customers because it provides them with more information on which to base their purchase decisions, helps them find the products most suitable for their needs, and reduce their purchasing costs. These activities help in realizing some of the significant values associated with B2B and B2C in creating an e-commerce model.
The term 'e-commerce' or 'electronic commerce' has been defined as any form of business transaction in which the parties interact electronically rather than by physical exchanges or direct physical contact. E-commerce involves information and communications technology such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. In e-commerce, the roots can be traced back to 1960 when businesses started using electronic data interchange (EDI) to transfer commercial documents electronically. E-commerce later developed to include all the activities related to ordering, selling, and marketing, using digital communication methods.
Trends and Statistics in the E-Commerce Industry
The population of internet users is rapidly increasing and expected to reach 40 million by 2003 according to Gartner Group. And those online users
