The storefront model is what many people think of when they hear the world “e-business”. This model combines transaction processing, security, online payment and information storage to enable merchants to sell their products online. To conduct storefront e-commerce, merchants need to organize online catalogs of products, take orders through their Web sites, accept payments securely, send merchandise to customers and manage customer data.
The shopping cart is an order-processing technology that allows customers to accumulate items they wish to buy as they continue to shop. It is supported by a product catalog in the form of a database located in the merchant’s server.
Nowadays, sports have become part of our daily lives. Fans develop a certain passion for a team or specific players and they are willing to buy things that show this passion, and Taiwanese people are not the exception.
In order to satisfy the needs of sports fan in Taiwan, we will come out for a business plan to sell sports apparel and equipment locally via online. Among the sports we are planning we can mention football soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball, swimming, tennis, ping pong and badminton.
We will limit the sell to people who are register in our database, meaning that in order to be able to buy from us, the potential customer, the visitor, will have to register with us.
Additionally, we will provide recommendations to the visitors of both new and old products together with rating for these products.
The payment methods are still not defined but for sure one of them will be credit card.
Last but not least, the text will be at the beginning in English, but in the future we will try to add some other languages.
