E-COMMERCE

E-commerce means electronic commerce. This is the method of buying and selling using electronic means. The tool used in this method is browsing the internet through the computer. To do this, a customer will have to visit the website of the seller or the manufacturer. Major organisations today have developed their respective websites to link the world via the web (www) to become part of the worldwide global village. With this, every intending customer can browse and visit the website of any organisation to seek for information on products and services he or she intends to buy: the price, the utility and the terms of payment.
