What is Ecommerce? Sell Goods and Services Online

Ecommerce (electronic commerce or EC) is the buying and selling of goods and services, or the transmitting of funds or data, over an electronic network, primarily the Internet.

These commercial business transactions occur either business-to-business, business-to-consumer, consumer-to-consumer or consumer-to-business.

An ecommerce website is an online shopping cart website through which vendors can sell their products and services to end users using one or more payment and shipping methods.

You may sell (almost) anything online with an ecommerce shopping cart website.

Here are a few examples of ecommerce as it relates to website design:

• accepting credit cards for commercial online sales
• generating online advertising revenue
• selling to consumers on a pay-per-download basis, through a Web site
