How is an eCommerce site developed?

eCommerce Development

An eCommerce site consists of a server to host the website, along with various software packages that run the website and the associated eCommerce applications.

To set up an eCommerce site, a website must first be uploaded to a server. Once completed, the site will then be modified to hold the eCommerce web applications, such as a shopping cart and a checkout system. These applications are tied back into the server and communicate with suppliers and companies that process payment for goods bought from the website.

Once the connections to these companies have been tested, the site is ready for deployment.
