E-Commerce
-- (Electronic Commerce) |
Quite
simply it means conducting business online. In the
traditional sense of selling goods, it is possible
to do this electronically because of certain software
programs that run the main functions of an e-commerce
Web site, such as product display, online ordering,
and inventory management. The software works in conjunction
with online payment systems to process payments and
resides on a commerce server.
The definition of e-commerce has expanded to include
all kinds of commercial online transactions, for example:
selling products via credit cards, charging for advertising
on a highly trafficked Web site, or trading stock
in your brokerage account; basically anyway a company
can derive revenue online is thought of as e-commerce.
E-commerce has become a very hot topic and complex
issue due to privacy rights and fraud as well as the
enormous amount of money it can generate for some
businesses. |

E-mail aliases can be setup as additional e-mail accounts,

as ads@yourtie.info |
