What Is E-Commerce?
Electronic Commerce is the buying and selling of goods
and services on the Internet, especially the World Wide
Web. The web is rapidly becoming a multi-billion dollar
source of revenue for the world's businesses. You may be
interested in selling something over the web, but are
unfamiliar with how this is done. Below, we will discuss
how e-commerce is generally accomplished with the
services of Intersite.
Contact Information
You should include contact information on your web site
so that customers can contact you. In addition, Intersite
recommends that you provide a
"Contact Form" making it very easy for potential clients
to reach you.
Fax Order Form
In your web site, you can include a fax order form which
can be printed out by the customer. The customer can fill
out the form and fax it to you for order fulfillment.
Ordering Form
After describing your products, you can direct the
customer to a web based order form. The client can fill
out the form and submit it. The contents of the form can
be emailed to you for processing and order fulfillment.
Shopping Cart
A shopping cart allows a user to add items to their
shopping cart. The customer can then browse other
products in your site and continue to add to the shopping
cart. The shopping cart contents are displayed with the
prices automatically added. The customer can then
change their order by changing the quantity or deleting a
product and the total costs are updated. Finally payment
information can be entered by the customer.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
When doing business online, giving personal and private
information, especially credit card numbers, checking
account information, etc., most consumers want to see
that a site is secure when they send this information over
the web. Most people look for the closed lock or
connected key at the bottom of the browser to confirm
that the site is transmitting under SSL (Secure Socket
Layer).
