Online Shopping

Online shopping or online retailing is a form of electronic commerce allowing consumers to directly buy goods or services from a seller over the Internet without an intermediary service. An online shop, e-shop, e-store, Internet shop, web-shop, web-store, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or shopping center.

In the past this has always been the question. Over the last few years however, ecommerce has been exploding in popularity and technology. It is just as easy, if not easier to hop on your computer and do your shopping rather than visiting an actual store. In the past, shopping online has not always been the easiest, especially if the store you are looking for doesn’t have a website! But today, its safe to say, that any mainstream store, especially retail, will have the majority if not all of their products online for your shopping enjoyment.
Online Shopping Carts
If you have a website that sells more than one product or service, you will need a shopping cart. Online Shopping Carts have become more dynamic and effective over the years. However, there are some that suffer from poor functionality, compatibility, and effectiveness.A shopping cart allows the consumer to select as many items as they wish to buy and then pay for everything at once. If you only have a Buy Now button for each of your products, your customers will have to go through the payment process for each and every product they wish to purchase and you can lose a lot of sales this way.
