THE PROCESS
OF
E-COMMERCE
THE PROCESS OF E- COMMERCE
A consumer uses Web browser to connect to the home
page of a merchant's Web site on the Internet.

The consumer browses the catalog of products featured on
the site and selects items to purchase. The selected items are
placed in the electronic equivalent of a shopping cart.

When the consumer is ready to complete the purchase of
selected items, she provides a bill-to and ship-to address for
purchase and delivery

THE PROCESS OF E- COMMERCE
When the merchant's Web server receives this
information, it computes the total cost of the order--
including tax, shipping, and handling charges--and then
displays the total to the customer.
The customer can now provide payment information, such
as a credit card number, and then submit the order.


THE PROCESS OF E- COMMERCE
When the credit card number is validated and the order is
completed at the Commerce Server site, the merchant's site displays a
receipt confirming the customer's purchase.

The Commerce Server site then forwards the order to a Processing
Network for payment processing and fulfillment.
