Frequently Asked Questions

What is an e-commerce?

The term e-commerce refers to the purchase and sale of goods and services over the Internet. Online shopping and commerce have revolutionized the way we shop and conduct business for both individuals and businesses.

E-commerce can be classified into the following types:

• Business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce refers to the sale of goods and services directly to consumers. This is the most common type of e-commerce, and we have extensive experience in this type of business.
• Purchasing products or services from another individual is referred to as consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-commerce. Online platforms such as Etsy and eBay facilitate this type of e-commerce.
• E-commerce that involves businesses selling products and services to other businesses is known as business-to-business (B2B). It is common in the wholesale and manufacturing industries to engage in this type of e-commerce.

The advantages of e-commerce include convenience, a broader selection of products, and the ability to shop from anywhere with access to the Internet. In addition, it has increased the number of opportunities for small businesses to reach a global audience.

Is it secure to buy online?

There are stories about online fraud. It is important to understand that cybercriminals are less likely to get a hold of your credit card details on internet that they are over a phone or through the mail. Imagine, the chances of a fraud in a brick-and-mortar commerce are much higher.

Safe online shopping requires safe and responsible companies behind to warranty your transaction and high quality of the goods you are buying.

How to know if an e-commerce site is secure?

There are a few things you can look for to determine if an e-commerce site is secure:

• Your browser’s address bar should have a padlock icon. This means the site is using an encrypted connection (https).

• Ensure that the company has a privacy policy. An e-commerce site that is reputable should have a clear and detailed privacy policy that explains how your personal information is protected.

• Ensure that the software is certified by a third party. A few examples of these badges or seals are VeriSign, McAfee Secure, and Better Business Bureau certifications.

• Check the terms of service of the site. In order for an e-commerce site to be considered reputable, it should have terms of service that clearly outline its security practices and how it handles potential breaches of security.

• It may be beneficial to use a payment service such as PayPal or Apple Pay. In addition to providing an extra level of security, these services protect your financial information by handling the transaction on your behalf and not disclosing it to the merchant.

As a final step in ensuring the security of your online transactions, you should only shop at reputable sites and ensure that each of your accounts has a strong, unique password.
