E-COMMERCE WEBSITE:

ABSTRACT:
In recent years there has been a large variety of e-commerce websites that had popped up. E-
commerce websites have helped both small and big businesses develop and evolve. E-commerce
websites have made it easy for small businesses to grow and expand their boundaries by exporting
their goods to distant places. It has also helped consumers who require certain goods and or
services.

1. INTRODUCTION.
Much like a traditional physical retail store, e-commerce websites allow consumers and businesses
to buy and sell to one another on a designated platform. The main difference between e-commerce
and physical commerce, however, is that e-commerce transactions occur entirely over the internet
rather than at a brick-and-mortar location.

The scope of e-commerce is vast, but the types of sites that host electronic transactions can
be broken down according to the parties involved.

• Business-to-consumer (B2C): Probably the most familiar to the average person, a B2C site
enables an exchange of goods or services between a business and a consumer, such as
buying a T-shirt from your favorite online shop.
• Business to Business(B2B): A B2B platform facilitates electronic transactions between two
businesses. If you own a company that sells T-shirts, for example, you might buy those shirts
from an online wholesaler.
• Business-to-administration (B2A): A B2A site facilitates electronic exchanges between an
organization and a public institution, like the website of a company that designed your city’s
web portal, for instance.
• Consumer-to-consumer (C2C): A C2C site, often known as a marketplace, hosts an exchange
of goods between 2 or more consumers. Examples include websites like Etsy and eBay.
• Consumer-to-business (C2B): On a C2B site, individuals offer goods or services to businesses.
This could be a freelance SEO expert who works with companies in a certain industry or an
influencer paid to promote a company’s products.
• Consumer-to-administration (C2A): Similar to B2A, this type of site allows a consumer to
provide information, goods, or services to public administration and governmental
organizations—think paying a parking ticket on your city’s web portal.

With the growing popularity of e-commerce websites, it has become easier for anyone to access any
facilities and goods their heart desires. The digital component of e-commerce allows sellers to offer
a wide range of products, some of which wouldn’t be possible to sell in a physical location.
Physical goods
Items such as clothing, furniture, food, or supplies are tangible products that can be stored in a
warehouse. Sellers display goods on their e-commerce website, where consumers can like, save, or
purchase them. Upon purchase, the business ships the item to the customer.
Services
E-commerce sites are also a popular way to sell services, like consultations, maintenance, tutoring,
lessons, and more. Whether you want to learn to code a website or you’re looking for an
experienced trainer to help fix your dog’s troublesome barking habit, there’s no shortage of
assistance available online.
Digital products
Digital products—like online courses, software, podcasts, music, and e-books—are becoming
increasingly popular on e-commerce sites as well. The rise of digital products has opened up a new
way to learn skills on demand.
A proper E-commerce website should be able to accept orders, take payment, handle shipping and
logistics, and provide customer service.
To start an e-commerce business, one must follow the following steps.
• Choose your product.
• Find your target demographic.
• Validate your product
• Shape your business.
• Pick a brand name.
• Build a website.
• Develop a marketing strategy
2. RELATED WORK.
India is known for its large population. At 1.37 billion, it’s one of the most inhabited places in the
world, second only to China. Still, of its billion-plus people, internet penetration is quite low, coming
in at 41 percent of the total population, roughly 500 million of the 1.37 billion in the country.
Despite the low internet penetration, the e-commerce sector in India is still massive, thanks to the
overall population size. It was worth 2018 and is expected to quadruple to reach US$ 200 billion by
2018.
It’s also worth noting that internet and smartphone adoption in India is growing rapidly. This
adoption of smartphones also shows trends toward mobile commerce as a preference for the vast
number of Indians who own a smartphone
The below graph shows The Market size of the e-commerce industry across India from 2014 to
2018, with forecasts until 2030
What’s interesting about the top 10 in the Indian e-commerce sector is the rich representation of
Indian-founded brands. While Amazon comes in at the top, there are very few other American
brands in these high ranks. It is Indian and Asian brands that dominate in the top 10.
Additionally, the Indian e-commerce scene has a nice mix between pure e-commerce players and
brick, and mortar retailers turned e-commerce giants.
While the Indian e-commerce sector is still in the early development stages, it is a market rich with
opportunity; with so many people comes so much room for major players and small players alike to
take a giant chunk out of the Indian e-commerce pie.
So far, it’s electronics that make up the most significant online retail sale category in the country, at
48 percent, but apparel is following not too far behind at 29 percent.
To demonstrate what the e-commerce sector in India looks like, we’ve compiled the top 10
performing e-commerce sites using data from Similar Websites.
The most popular Indian e-commerce websites are Amazon India, Flipkart, Alibaba, Snapdeal,
Myntra, India MART, Book my show, Nykaa, First cry, and 1mg.
