Online shopping is the process whereby consumers
directly buy goods or services from a seller in real-time,
without an intermediary service, over the Internet. It is
a form of electronic commerce.
E-Shopping introduction:
E-shopping (electronic shopping) is nothing but buying
or purchasing goods or services online by giving online
or offline payments. The specialty of eshopping is that
with a single click of computer mouse, you can order
anything from the vast range of products and services.
Secure payment transactions only can make more and
more people interested in eshopping. Trustworthiness
of ecommerce website makes these e-retailers more
successful. Online shopping portal can attract more
customers if it provides vast verieties of products, clear
information, good feedback, secure online transactions

available to the consumers by number of eshops
available online.
How does it work step by step?
1. Adding to Cart
Imagine that customers are surfing your store to find
their favorite goods or services. This searching process
is the initial step that turns a visitor into a potential
buyer. With the help of Add to cart button appearing
on every product page, customers can easily select
those items for further review. Creating the first
impression of an easy-to-use assisting tool that is
designed for customers’ good is the utmost action to
attract customers to move to the next step.
2. Processing on the cart
A user-friendly shopping cart is so vital that can make
customers decide whether to actually buy those
chosen items or not. The more convenient it is to make
adjustments in the online shopping cart, the more
willing buyers are to pay money on the selected stuff.
Those adjustments include adding new items, deleting
chosen items, changing the quantity, size, colors,
material, etc.
Customers can carry out these actions merely with a
few simple clicks. The total price of all items (even after
adjustment) can be automatically calculated for
customers to help them keep the paying value suitable
for their budget. Only when these activities run
smoothly will customers be ready to actually spend
their money on the checkout process. Clicking on the
Checkout button leads them to the next step.
3. Purchasing
In this stage, customers are required to add their
information that is necessary for the payment, such as
their name, address, phone number, credit card
number, and so on. The amount of data that must be
provided is quite a lot, which can cause impatience and
frustration for shoppers. If you don’t want customers
to abandon the cart and leave quickly, keep this
process concise and convenient with supportive
features like automatic address suggestion, diverse
payment methods, or multiple shipping options. With a
simple click on Submit/Complete order button,
customers then can review their order information
again to make sure if there is any mistakes. If there is
no problem at all, your store has successfully turned a
visitor into a purchaser.
4. Buying some more
Although it is a success to make customers spend their
money on your e-store, the function of the shopping
cart does not stop there. I bet that you desire to make
customers keep buying more and more even after they
finish their purchase. That’s why a Continue shopping
button is essential if you don’t want your customers
just come and leave quickly.
