E-commerce (Shopping Carts)
E-commerce is big business, and only getting bigger.
Nearly a quarter of the world’s population used the Internet on a regular basis in 2008, with this number expected to swell to 30% by 2012, according to IDC, a global provider of market intelligence.
With nearly half of all Internet users making purchases online in 2008, IDC also predicts that by 2012, there will be more than one billion people worldwide making business to consumer (B2C) transactions worth $1.2 trillion dollars.
With numbers like that, the benefits of selling online are obvious, and if you want to sell products or services online, you will need an e-commerce solution, more commonly known as a ‘shopping cart’.
There are many to choose from offering a variety of features and functionality. There are also other things to consider like secure certificates, merchant accounts, payment gateways and integration with accounting software packages.
