E-Commerce
Beyond "Bricks and Mortar"
E-commerce is one of the fastest growing areas of Web technology today. Small and large businesses alike are paying more attention than ever to the growth and exposure gained from selling products and services on the Internet. In fact, in the U.S. alone, e-commerce sales hit nearly $70 billion last year, nearly a 24 percent jump in one year. And even though the e-commerce market represents less than 2 percent of all retail sales, it's expected to jump to 7 percent in the next five years.
Such new opportunities often present new questions and challenges:
- Do you want your full catalog available to anyone, or should it be password-protected?
- What's required to implement product or payment changes? How difficult will it be to add new products or services, update inventory or offer discounts or sale prices?
- Do you wish to automate payment? If so, should you integrate with a third-party payment vendor or build your own?
- How do you secure transactions and convince consumers that their data is safe with you?
