As you can display virtually any information you want via the Internet, nothing stops you from displaying information about your products and services - for everyone to see who has access to the Internet.

This is exactly how -Commerce started. In the early stages this was all many shop owners did. They created a number of web pages and included information on their products on them.

And even today this is better than to completely ignore the Internet.

But today consumers expect more from an e-commerce solution.  

Simple information pages are no longer enough when you want to sell online. Today a real Internet shop is interactive. It allows customers to easily navigate through your product information pages, to search for specific products and to preferably get more information than they would for example get from a catalogue.

It also allows customers to click on buttons to add products to a virtual secure shopping cart - a software program which remembers which products a customer wants to purchase.

Such a shopping cart software program can be automatically added to your website by an e-commerce solution such as ShopFactory, making creating an Internet shop easy.

Shopping cart software remembers which products a customer wants to purchase, calculates total costs payable, including tax and shipping, sends shop owners orders from Internet customers and may even accept payments on their behalf.

It helps making the online shopping experience for your customers interactive, easy and fast.
