E-commerce as part of the E-Business concept (framework), is the process of online trade via the Internet. This business model goes beyond the traditional concept with a focus on efficient buying and selling of products, where the customer is provided with an infrastructure to easily search and filter the desired products or services.
Key components of e-commerce development
• Website design: An original visual identity with elements such as logo design, colors, typography and photos on online platforms is important for recognition and a professional appearance.
• Product Catalog: Information about products, including descriptions, prices, photos and availability.
• Shopping Cart: A feature that allows customers to add items and proceed to checkout.
• Payment system integration: Secure processing of online payments through services are the foundation of online transactions, enabling businesses to securely and efficiently accept payments and other parties to improve customer experience. Popular services used for this purpose are Stripe, PayPal or Apple Pay.
• Order Management System (OMS): All e-commerce plugins have a module for tracking purchases, stock levels and information about discounts and deliveries.
• Security: Protection of customer data and transactions based on robust measures such as SSL encryption, secure payment gateways and multi-factor authentication
• Mobile adaptation: Ensuring that the website is optimized for all types of devices, including mobile phones and tablets.
• Integrations: Connecting with other business systems such as inventory management, accounting, ERP, CRM and shipping software.
• Analytics: Data analysis in order to gain insight into traffic and customer behavior.
