E-commerce means doing business through the internet. Sturman Enterprises can implement this for you. Very broadly speaking e-commerce entails all electronic communication between consumers and companies and among companies. In practice, however, e-commerce is used to refer to more than exchange of an informative email or simply having a web site. Usually e-commerce indicates a web site through which one party can initiate an automatic commercial transaction. The most common example of this is a web site where a user can order products directly and can usually also pay directly via credit card. If more than just a couple of products are offered use of a so-called shopping cart is the standard. Other applications of e-commerce are, for example, collecting information about buying and surfing habits of your visitors and using that information for custom automatic email marketing, electronically ordering goods from your supplier and integrating sales data from your web site into your accounting and stock figures. |
