A Primer on Online Shopping

Article Category: Shopping

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Online shopping has gone a long way since the 1990s, particularly when a well-known pizza chain opened its first online store and secure online shopping became possible by SSL encryption in 1994. It was also on that same year that the first online shopping system was introduced. A year later, Amazon paved the way for other online shopping sites and has remained a leader ever since. eBay followed suit in 1995 and the world of online shopping was never the same again.

Payment methods

Credit cards remain the most common and secure method of payment for online shopping transactions. However, as technology advanced, alternative methods of payment have been adapted such as:
- debit cards
- cheque
- wire transfer
- cash on delivery
- postal money order
- payment through phone bill

When making purchases online, verify if the website accepts international credit cards. Vendors may require shipping and billing addresses as part of order processing.

Delivery options

Online establishments such as online stores and malls offer a variety of delivery options. Most stores offer standard as well as overnight shipping options. Alternative delivery options are available as well.
Products can be shipped out to the customer's address or an authorized third party.
Product manufacturers can opt to deliver directly to the customer's address for faster delivery time.

Online vendors can take the customer's order online and provide the nearest branch where the customer can pick up the item(s).

For ticket sales, coupons, and gift certificates, online stores can either have the customer print it out or sent by email.

As an alternative, the customer can pick up the ticket at the venue such as a theatre, sports event, or a concert.

For digital products such as eBooks, mp3 files, and movies, a download link will be provided once payment for the product has been processed.

Advantages

Online shopping sites have become popular due to the following factors: convenience, information, and price. Online shopping allows customers to purchase items at the click of a button. Transactions are swift and secure which makes it ideal for customers who are trying to fit everything on their tight schedules. Online shopping malls are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, allowing customers to visit the website anytime.

Most online stores have an extensive selection of products and each item is provided with information in relation to features, specifications, and product photos. Supplemental information about the product can be provided through customer product reviews, how-to guides, and product comparisons. In order for customers to know how others feel about an item, some online malls provide facilities for rating products, as well as providing customer comments or feedback.

Conventional shopping requires a customer to go from store to store and check products and prices. In an online store, items can be searched from a database, as well as be compared to similar products. In addition, delivery options and ongoing promos and discounts are also provided.
