About E-Commerce
E-Commerce stands for Electronic Commerce and consists of the purchasing and selling of products online, via online payment transactions. A website, that enables visitors to make a payment to purchase a product, service, appointment or any other types of goods, is known as an eCommerce Website.
Today, eCommerce extends to several features that business owners may seek, from Monthly Payment Subscriptions, Auction and Social Marketplaces and more robuster types of web applications. A typical online store consists of the following components:
- Online Catalog & Shopping Carts
- A well designed online product catalog, for most web stores, is the main component for attracting and navigating visitors through your shop. Successful online stores posses a user-friendly product catalog that is easy to navigate with sorting and browsing tools for an ideal user experience and increased conversion rate.

- Checkout Payment Processing
- An online stores' checkout and payment process go hand-in-hand with any website that intends to convert its visitors. A sites payment processing software, the length of a customers checkout form and the available payment methods all play a role for successful conversions.

Magento Development
Magento is a CMS, specifically tailored for eCommerce websites. Upon installation, Magento already includes all components for an average web store, which are: Catalog page, Shopping Cart, Checkout, Customer Dashboard (with all web shop features, such as wishlist, purchase history, billing information, etc.).
Magento's administrator backend contains mostly store management tools, starting with a sales dashboard, adding/managing products, categories and customers, sales management, coupon generation and all other eCommerce related gadgets.
With that said, we would recommend this CMS if the websites primary focus was on a web stores catalog, products, customer and sales management and data handling. Its primary strength is the handling of mass product, customer and sales data, therefore ideal for corporate eCommerce size websites (e.g. Amazon).
