It comprises four main elements:
- An online catalogue displaying goods for sale
- A shopping cart system allowing users to pick the goods and
place an order for them
- A payment system that receives
and encrypts credit card details for processing
- An order processing and fulfilment system by which
orders are managed and goods delivered to the purchaser
