e-commerce, If you intend to sell a product or offer a subscription service from your site, you will generally need to integrate an online ordering system (shopping cart system) with a secure credit card payment system.

An e-commerce website offers enormous potential benefits to businesses, whatever their size. The benefits include:

• Access to a global market, the internet allows businesses access to a huge market of potential customers worldwide.

• Cutting out the middleman, businesses can sell directly to end-users.

• A level playing field, a small business can show itself to be as professional and credible as its larger competitors.

• 24-hour business with a website that accepts payments online, you are always open for business to customers even if your office is closed.

• Greater customer satisfaction, an e-commerce website can be a powerful tool in building customer loyalty.

• Reduced marketing costs, ‘word of mouth’ can be incredibly powerful on the web through e-mail recommendations and search engine ratings. You can achieve a great deal through organic growth by treating customers well, keeping them informed about your activities and benchmarking yourself against competitors.

• Better customer information giving online customers passwords to your site saves them having to re-enter their details every time they shop. But it also gives you information about buying habits to refine your marketing, pricing and purchasing strategies.

• Streamlined business processes, increasingly companies are integrating their business processes. Orders come in to their website, card details are processed, goods dispatched and stock re-ordered seamlessly, dramatically reducing the cost of each sale.
