What is E-commerce

Now, you can shop from anywhere and anytime wit the help of your smartphone and internet connection. You can search for almost any product or service online, without having to go anywhere physically and this has become life saver specially in COVID-19 Pandemic time.

What do you need to set up E-commerce business

First you need to decide what you want to sell and possibilities are endless. People sell all sorts of different things online and do it in all sorts of different niches and markets.

And what’s best about it all is that the numbers are only growing. It’s estimated that in 2020 there will be 2.05 billion global digital buyers. Quite frankly, everyone and even their dog is doing shopping online these days!

Once you decide what you will sell, you will require a website / platform for performing transaction.

E-Commerce websites are online portals that facilitate online transactions of goods and services through means of online payment. In the early days, e-commerce was done partially through emails and phone calls. Now, with a single website everything can be executed online.
