What is eCommerce?

eCommerce is the practice of marketing, promotion, servicing or selling of products or services over a computer network. eCommerce is most commonly referred to as the act of conducting business over the internet by using a web site.

The complexity and ease of use of eCommerce web sites varies widely. Some eCommerce web sites do nothing more than offer a product for sale, while others offer services, warranties, credit card processing and more.

Many of the best eCommerce sites provide the web site administrator with an easy to use - non-programming based - means of updating the eCommerce web site. Many eCommerce web sites will also tie directly into Enterprise Asset Management solutions, fulfillment systems and billing systems.
