Introduction
Good day steemians, hope we are all enjoying the festivity that comes with Christmas. On a daily basis, technology keeps advancing for the betterment of human kind. This is a good contest aimed at bringing the knowledge of e- commerce to us all. I am happy I finally presented my entry.
What is e-commerce? Explain it in your own words.
In my own understanding,I think e-commerce is the electronical buying and selling of goods through the internet. Here,as it is mainly powered by the internet, customer's use their own device to access online stores browsing through the products and services this online stores are offering.
Now,one could begin to wonder how does it work?very simple
As you place your order as a customer through your web browser,it communicates with the server hosting the e-commerce website. After this, the data that pertains to the order placed is forwarded to the central computer known as the order manager,if the order is validated, the order manager notifies the stores web server.
It then displays a message notifying the customer that there order has been processed,then comes dispatchment of the goods ordered.
Do you think that e-commerce makes our life easier?
To a very large extent,I must say that e-commerce have been of help to almost all of us. This is because everything we want is readily available not only is it available but also cheaper when compared to buying from physical stores.
E-commerce have changed the way we shop likewise making our life easier through the provision of convenient way of shopping from anywhere and at anytime.
E-commerce have the tendency of saving time and cost while offering a wide range of products to choose from with a door step delivery advantage.
Another interesting thing about e-commerce is that,it provides convenience to customers as the can browse and compare different products and also read reviews and make purchase from the comfort of their homes without necessarily visiting a physical store.
Tell us about one of the major e-commerce platforms.
If am to talk about any e-commerce platform,it will be no other than Amazon. Amazon as an e-commerce platform is the world's biggest online retailer and prominent service provider which started as an online bookselling company and transformed into an internet based business entity that is mainly focused on providing e-commerce, digital streaming and Ai services.
Amazon is a globally recognized e-commerce platform where buyers and sellers interact. Amazon operates as an online market place where third-party sellers can list and sell their products alongside Amazon's own inventory.
