Are you thinking of selling online and creating an Ecommerce? Do you know what technical and functional points are important for building a successful Ecommerce? What are the related elements that are needed to build a professional Ecommerce?
Let’s discuss the technical and functional points that are required to be implemented in an Ecommerce structure.
The Ecommerce can offer a security structure where online transactions take place and all customers’ information and personal data is secured. For example; when a customer adds their credit/debit card details, the system processes all the procedures to secure and overall complete the final transaction. Some of the most common payment methods used are: Paypal, Stripe etc.
An important technical point that is related to Hosting packages and Domain for maximum security on Ecommerce functionalities. An example of this is the implementation of SSL certificates.
Another important technical point related to the Ecommerce functionality is executing regular Backups. Backups can take place as part of Hosting packages or as part of Ecommerce too.
Different pieces of code (plugins and widgets) are part of the Ecommerce to secure well-structured functionality overall. Updates are very important as it regularly maintains the Ecommerce and therefore decreases the risk of technical errors. These technical errors will reduce the risk of negative functionality which can affect the overall slow performance of the Ecommerce.
Different structures of Ecommerce support different technical and functional points in the back-end.
Other important E-commerce functionalities that are helpful to produce a more well-structured E-business are:
- Taxation is based on the country
- Currency (£,$,€)
- Product attributes, based on the product, the company needs to decide on the proper attributes within the product’s description. An example to describe a product is product measurements that tell the customer the scale of the products (Kg, Cm, feet long, ml, size, colour, width, height, m2, variations etc.)
- Shipping costs: customers worldwide must know if they are eligible to have the business products shipped/delivered to their location. Shipping costs may vary depending on the different locations and different prices
- Product ratings is another functionality that the company will need to decide. Some can be negative about the product/s and affect the reputation of the company.
