The basics of e-Commerce
e-Commerce, also known as electronic commerce or internet commerce, refers to the buying and selling of goods or services using the internet, and the transfer of money and data to execute these transactions. e-Commerce is often used to refer to the sale of physical products online, but it can also describe any kind of commercial transaction that is facilitated through the internet.
Total global retail e-Commerce sales are estimated to have exceeded $27 trillion by 2020
You probably make a significant amount of your monthly purchases via the internet.
Retail e-Commerce allows a vendor to make their products available to be purchased over the internet and for a customer to select the product(s) they desire and pay for it using some kind of secure transaction. The payment information sent over the internet is subject to end-to-end encryption and in most cases, the vendor never has access to the customer's payment details, they only get confirmation that the transaction has been processed successfully. In the EU, sales carried out via the internet and those transacted by telephone are subject to "Distance-Selling Regulations" which protect the consumer by giving them additional statutory rights to return goods they are not satisfied with.
We have many years of experience helping our clients to sell products over the the internet, and in helping them avoid some of the legal and logistical challenges that can arise.
What is the best platform?
When choosing an online store platform, here are some things to consider:
- Do you want a system that is managed for you, or do you want to host and manage your shop system yourself?
- Who will maintain and promote your online shop?
- How do you intend to process payments made by your customers?
- Do you already have a catalogue with product descriptions and photos?
- Who will fulfil the orders from your online shop?
- How will your products be delivered to your customers?

Benefits of Shopify
- Shopify is a fully hosted and managed e-Commerce solution. You only pay for the service and you do not need to worry about server maintenance, hosting fees or keeping your severs secure and up to date - that is all done for you.
- Shopify is easy to use and highly customisable, so whether you maintain the shop yourself or pay someone to help you with it, it will be a swift and efficient process.

Shopify's own payment gateway is significantly less expensive than other services making Shopify one of the most cost effective online shop systems available.

- Shopify is hugely flexible in the way shipping can be integrated into your online store - from local delivery service, to world-wide couriers , or even click-and-collect.
- Shopify works with your business to deliver for your customer.
What Shopify's customers say
"I absolutely love my job and I owe so much of our success to Shopify. Thanks to this platform I can focus on my customers and growing the business, and not have to worry about servers and shopping carts and technical difficulties. We started something from absolutely nothing, and we love hearing stories about other Shopify-ers doing the same." https://www.kigurumi.ca
"We have so enjoyed our experience with Shopify- so many resources and helpful people to get you through the challenges!" https://mezelmods.com
"Since Shopify provides pretty much everything necessary to run an online store, my recommendation to new shop owners would be to spend a bit extra time to customize the design of their online store. Having a professional presence, consistent branding and messaging makes a big difference. We are interacting with global audience and our online store is the first point of contact with our customers. It is very important to establish that level of trust and professionalism, where our customers feel confident enough to make their first purchase." http://notabag.com
