What is an E-commerce website?
E-commerce website (electronic commerce, online store) is a website specifically designed for buying and selling goods and services over the internet. It allows users and customers to browse through product catalogs, select and order desired items, and make online payments.
E-commerce websites help businesses expand their audience and increase sales by providing customers with a convenient and accessible way to purchase goods and services. Additionally, an online store can provide sellers with broader opportunities for conducting marketing campaigns, advertising, and promoting their products online.
An E-commerce website can have varying levels of complexity, ranging from simple websites with a few products and basic functions to complex platforms with multiple products, order management systems, payment and delivery options, integration with third-party services, and sales analytics.
