Online shopping

Online shopping is the purchase of goods or services through internet-connected websites or apps. It lets customers discover, compare, order, and often pay for products without visiting a physical store.

E-commerce platform: Software that enables businesses to present and sell products or services online. It supplies the storefront, catalog, and checkout behind many online purchases.
Online marketplace: A digital platform where multiple sellers offer goods or services to buyers. It lets customers shop across independent sellers from one online destination.
Price comparison website: A website that gathers product prices from multiple sellers for comparison. It makes comparing online offers faster and more transparent.
Brick-and-mortar retail: Retail sales conducted through physical stores that customers can visit in person. It offers direct inspection and immediate possession instead of online ordering.
Shopping cart software: Software that records selected products and carries them through an online checkout. It keeps chosen items together before an order is placed.
Direct-to-consumer: A business model in which a producer sells directly to customers without traditional retail intermediaries. It removes the retailer between a brand and its online customers.
Consumer reviews: Evaluations of products or services written by people who have used them. They influence buying decisions when customers cannot inspect products in person.
Omnichannel retail: A retail strategy that integrates customer experiences across online and physical sales channels. It combines online shopping with store-based services and inventory.
Online payment: The electronic transfer of money for a purchase or other transaction over a network. It authorizes and settles payment for an online order.
Subscription commerce: A business model that charges recurring payments for regularly delivered products or ongoing access. It turns online purchasing into scheduled repeat orders.
