ECOMMERCE WEBSITE
What is an ECommerce Website?
An Ecommerce Website is a software application that enables:
Business owners to manage their online sale operations
Customers to buy and pay for products or services over the internet
Transfer of information and funds over the Internet
Secure transaction and storage of business, customer, finance and payment data
​
The Ecommerce Website Workflow:
​
A customer reaches your eCommerce website. She could have reached the website through a search or an advertisement, or a referral.
The website displays the product or category the customer queries or browses for. So the website displays products, specifications, price and images from a database.
After browsing the customer adds some products or services to the cart and checks out.
The buyer shares personal data on the website. This including financial and bank details like credit card information. The website sends this data to a payment gateway for processing payment.
Once the payment is complete the website issues a payment receipt. It also issues a unique transaction number and an invoice to the customer.
The ecommerce website then sends this data the fulfillment team. This team ensures execution of the order and shipment.
