CHAPTER 1
1.1

Abstract

There are numerous opportunities to apply e-commerce technologies to networking. These include
the assembly, pricing and payments for complementary infrastructure resources, and the selection of
and payment for value-added collaboration and information access services. E-commerce can
support the separate provision and coordination of these elements, or allow them to be bundled by a
customer-care organization. These opportunities and options are discussed. The main advantage of
e-commerce over traditional commerce is the user can browse online shops, compare prices and
order merchandise sitting at home on their PC.
For increasing the use of e-commerce in developing countries the business-to-business (B2B) ecommerce is implemented for improving access to global markets for firms in developing countries.
For a developing country advancement in the field of e-commerce is essential. The research strategy
shows the importance of the e-commerce in developing countries for business applications.

millions of customers all over the world. Some examples of E-commerce websites are Zalora.com.
and Lelong.com.my. and Amazon.com
The broadest definition of e-commerce is the conduct of transactions by electronic means. In the
interest of water safety, this series will saint in a smaller pond. We will focus specifically on
purchases of goods and services from online stores on the Web. By Internet commerce, we mean the
use of the global Internet for purchase and sale of goods, services, including service and support after
sale. Internet commerce brings some new technology and new capabilities to business, but the
fundamental business problems are those that merchants have forced for hundred even thousands of
years. We must have something to sell, make it known to potential buyers, accept payment deliver
the goods or services, and provide appropriate service after the sale.
E-commerce is a term for any type of business, or commercial transaction, that involves the transfer
of information across the Internet. It covers a range of different types of businesses, from consumer
based retail sites, through auction or music sites, to business exchanges trading goods and services
between corporations. It is currently one of the most important aspects of the Internet to emerge.

1.3 Background
E-commerce dates back to the invention of the very old notion of sell and buy, electricity, cables,
computers, modems, and the Internet. E-commerce became possible in 1991 when the Internet was
opened to commercial use. Since that date thousands of businesses have taken up residence at web
sites.
At first, the term e-commerce meant the process of execution of commercial transactions
electronically with the help of the leading technologies such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
and Electronics Funds Transfer (EFT) which gave an opportunity for users to exchange business
information and do electronic transactions. The ability to use these technologies appeared in the late
1970s and allowed business companies and organizations to send commercial documentation
electronically.
Although the Internet began to advance in popularity among the general public in 1994, it took
approximately four years to develop the security protocols. For example, HyperText Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) which allowed rapid access and a persistent connection to the Internet. In 2000 a
great number of business companies in the United States and Western Europe represented their
services in the World Wide Web. At this time the meaning of the word e-commerce was changed.
People began to define the term e-commerce as the process of purchasing of available goods and
services over the Internet using secure connections and electronic payment services.

1.4 Problem Statement

Customers accesses the E-commerce shopping via Internet. So the Website which hosts the Ecommerce shopping system, must be able to accessed via Internet. So that it wont cause a problem
for the customers. The E-commerce shopping system needs an interface to the Credit Verification
system. If the company uses extra systems to manage its finance or accounting, the E-commerce
shopping system may need interfaces to these systems too.
