4 Components for Online Portal Development

by Josh Jacob

Gone are the days when the usage of the internet was limited only to looking for information and for checking e-mails.  With the advent of plastic money, e-banking and other technological advancements, the internet has opened a whole new world for conducting on-line business activities.  Since buying and selling can be done easily from home, more and more people are using E-commerce websites for that.  E-commerce websites are the reliable and popular mediums for purchasing and selling products and services.  Therefore, it is mandatory for you to have an E-commerce website for making your business a success.  An E-commerce website will enable you to have a global presence and allow you to conduct business activities 24x7.  Not only this, it also reduces the usage of paper and thus is environmentally friendly.  There are many companies that offer online portal development services at reasonable costs.



There are companies that provide web portal development of both kinds of E-commerce website models:  Business to Business (B2B) portal development and Business to Customer (B2C) portal development.  However, the one that I wish to discuss here is the second kind that deals with the customers directly -- the Business to Customer (B2C) model.  A B2C portal development involves certain important components.  Here are the four important components for it:

1. Website:
This is an obvious component as you need to have a medium through which you can establish relationships between you and your prospective buyers.  An E-commerce website should have an attractive design -- elegantly crafted and user friendly.  These kinds of websites will enable you to expand your business.



2. Merchant Account:
This is the second important component as making secure payments is an essential feature that an E-commerce website should possess.  You need to contact your bank for establishing a merchant account.  You must select a bank that supports internet business.

3. Shopping Cart Software:
Highly functional and feature rich shopping cart development can be done by expert PHP developers.  The E-commerce storefront maintains the products that it sells and the customer can purchase them with the help of adding them to his shopping cart.  The shopping cart software will enable the customer to add, remove, update or delete products as per their choice.  The software also calculates the total automatically, updating it as the customer adds or deletes items.



4. Payment Gateway:
This component is crucial as it ensures secure transferring of the information between customer, merchant and the bank.  There are several payment gateways such as PayPal, verisign.com, authorize.Net.

Viteb is a company that provides you with an expert work force, and accepts the challenges of making the most unique online portal development.  The company provides you with complete E-commerce solutions for smooth running of your online presence and business.

Josh Jacob is closely associated with an E-commerce website development company.  The author knows the finer nuances of the system and has therefore, shared certain beneficial tips of e-commerce solutions through this article.
