Abstract

E-commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services across the Internet. An e-commerce site can be as simple as a catalog page with a phone number, or it can range all the way to a real-time credit card processing site where customers can purchase downloadable goods and receive them on the spot. Electronic commerce merchants can range from the small business with a few items for sale all the way to a large on-line retailer such as Amazon.com. Building an e-commerce site that is customized to a merchants needs is very expensive. This is the reason why many small time businessmen think twice in participating in e-commerce. This special project is a dynamic website that can be customized by merchants to the specific products that they want to sell.
