Online shopping is the process whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a seller in real-time,without intermediary services,over the internet.
The advantages of online shopping is online stores are available 24 hours a day,and many consumers have many internet access both at work or at home.Other establishments such as internet cafes and schools provide access as well. A visit to conventional retail store requires travel and must take place during business hours.Online store also describe products for sale with text,photos and multimedia files,whereas in a physical retail store,the actual product and the manufacturer packaging will be available for direct inspection.Some online stores provide or link to supplemental product information,such as instructions,safety procedures and demonstration.Some stores even allow customer to comment and or their items.
However,Online shopping also have disadvantages.Given the lack of ability to inspect merchandise before purchase,consumers are at higher risk of fraud on the part of the merchant than in a physical store.Merchant also risk fraudulent purchases using stolen credit cards or fraudulent repudiation of the online purchase.
