We’ve heard about it, read about it, eCommerce is happening but some merchants are just not sure how it works.

Do they really understand what eCommerce mean? Let’s start with answering this question then.

eCommerce is simply the buying and selling of goods, services and/or transfer of funds through digital communications. One of which is, through the internet.  You see, your business has been engaged in eCommerce even without it having a website.  Fax, mobile and email transactions are eCommerce practices. By these, eCommerce really works.

Now, moving forward, having a website is another form of eCommerce. Does it really work? I’ll answer that by citing the following benefits:
