Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce or eCommerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as online order forms, payment processing websites like banks, BPay, PayPal and website shopping cart checkouts using credit cards or direct deposits.

Printing a promotional catalog for most smaller retailers is often prohibitive due to cost. Your cost effective alternative is creating an online full-color, interactive catalog of your products and current promotions with an online checkout for instant purchasing. Your online catalog becomes your 'virtual store'.

REASONS WHY PEOPLE BUY ONLINE:

1. CONVENIENCE
   Busy lifestyles means less time to spare walking around large shopping centres. Go online and do a quick search of the specific item you are wanting and within seconds, you know who is selling it and for how much.
   
   
2. ISOLATION
   Many of us 'city' people forget that not everyone has a shop close by. People in rural areas, in the armed forces and even those without their own car or no close public transport buy online. And what about people with disabilities who are home-bound, they too use Internet shopping.
   
   
3. CHOICE
   How many times have you gone shopping and come home without what you wanted to purchase because you could not find someone selling it or they did not have the correct model or size?
   
   You can even read user reviews and compare prices.
   
   
4. PRICE
   Often eTailers [online retailers] work from home, warehouses and so on and pay little to no rent so they can work on lower margins, passing on the cheaper prices to the online consumer.
