What is Ecommerce?
Ecommerce or Electronic Commerce, is the buying and selling of goods and services over the Internet.

When you have an ecommerce powered web site, you allow people to visit your web site and view your products and services via a web browser. The quality and functionality of your ecommerce shopping cart software system will directly affect the shopping experience you can offer your site visitors and this of course affects your site's ability to drive successful sales. The core concept though of ecommerce is to enable your visitors to purchase products from your online catalog or contact you with questions about your services using an online form.

Accepting Payments Online
Credit cards are the gasoline that run the Internet ecommerce engine and are a very integral part of electronic commerce. Perhaps now with the advent of Paypal and Google Checkout and even electronic payments like EFT, credit cards have diminished in their power but in general it is clear that the ability to accept credit cards payments online is a must for any retailer. Stores that accep credit cards will have higher revenues which translates into increased cash flow especially since credit card payments hit your bank account usually within 48 hours - much faster than waiting up to a week for a check to clear.

Credit cards don't bounce (unlike checks) though you are susceptible to credit card chargebacks. The good thing about credit card purchasers is that it is easy to make one-off buying decisions which if your marketing is good can increase your unexpected sales. Smart retailers use the online marketing machine to enable them to capitalize on impulse buying opportunities where possible.
