In simple terms, Ecommerce can be clearly described as the online credit card transaction in which a particular payment is done through a site. The total amount of trade carried out electronically has developed exceptionally since the advent of the World Wide Web. A large range of commerce is performed, drawing on and spurring innovations in the supply chain management, online transaction processing, electronic fund transfers, Internet marketing, inventory management systems, automated data collection system and the electronic data interchange.
The work flow of Ecommerce takes place as the consumer shifts through the World Wide Web to the website of the merchant. From that spot, the customer decides to make the purchases. Once the purchases are added to the shopping cart, it is then moved to the server of online transaction and the order information is encrypted.
