The Process Of E-Commerce

 A consumer uses Web browser to connect to the home page of a merchant's Web site on the Internet.  The consumer browses the catalog of products featured on the site and selects items to purchase. The selected items are placed in the electronic equivalent of a shopping cart.  When the consumer is ready to complete the purchase of selected items, she provides a bill-to and ship-to address for purchase and delivery

When the merchant's Web server receives this information, it computes the total cost of the order--including tax, shipping, and handling charges--and then displays the total to the customer. The customer can now provide payment information, such as a credit card number, and then submit the order.

When the credit card number is validated and the order is completed at the Commerce Server site, the merchant's site displays a receipt confirming the customer's purchase. The Commerce Server site then forwards the order to a Processing Network for payment processing and fulfillment.
