Ecommerce website built by CyberPerformance

Thinking about opening an online store? Every day, more and more people are trading the usual way of shopping for a purchase made on an ecommerce site. Online stores and online sales are gaining ground fast in retail, largely because their secure payment options have become so dependable.

What is a non-transactional website?

Non-transactional websites differ from transactional ones in that no transaction takes place on the site. That makes it harder to put a value on a goal. On a non-transactional website, for example, a conversion goal might be to build long-term interest among customers, generate leads, sign people up for a newsletter, and so on.

Every analyst has their own way of working out the conversion formula and the conversion values for a website that does not process transactions.

If you keep the following points in mind, it may be easier to determine the business outcome and the dollar value of the website. Remember that the goal value discussed in this article is the dollar amount the site assigns to a conversion.

In plain terms, what exactly is a transactional website?

Selling your products online (also known as ecommerce) is what this kind of shopping portal is for. A common expression, conversion rate, is used to measure how well a website performs. An online store website where a payment system is available and where users can complete a purchase is called a transactional website. Amazon is one example of a transactional website for selling your products, but it could just as easily be the website of a bricks-and-mortar store found through search engines, or the website of a business that deals directly with consumers.

What exactly is an ecommerce online store?

The term ecommerce, also known as e-Business or electronic commerce, refers to buying and selling products and services over the Internet.

It also covers the exchange of digital information and money between two or more parties. In other words, it is the same familiar online shopping we are all used to.

In a few clicks, from the comfort of your couch, you can buy what you want, when you want it, without ever leaving the house.

With smartphones everywhere, the trend has gone further still: you can shop whenever and wherever you have a wireless device that can connect to the Internet.

Online purchases are expected to account for 15.5% of total retail sales worldwide over the next three years.

3 types of ecommerce websites

This article looks at the many forms and functions of ecommerce websites.

Transactional website

This is the type of site potential online customers are most likely to know. Any website that makes it possible to buy and sell goods and services, such as an online version of a traditional store or a catalogue company (like Walmart), or a virtual showroom for businesses that want to sell directly to consumers, is an example of a transactional site (Hewlett-Packard, for instance).

Transactional sites (a) let consumers search for, buy and pay for things online; (b) let customers reach the business for after-sales support; and (c) can be hosted or installed on site. Most transactional sites streamline operations by bringing back-office technology into the buying and selling process: accounting, inventory, order management, logistics and fulfillment, marketing, customer relationship management (CRM) and web analytics.

Static content website

Rather than enabling online payment, this type of website focuses on building brand recognition in order to drive sales. It serves much the same purpose as a brochure: it tells the reader about the goods or services on offer and how to get them.

The site is cheaper to build and maintain than a transactional one because it is often static and does not need the software infrastructure that online transactions require. Businesses that sell items or provide services that cannot be delivered online benefit greatly from an information website (Ford or Caterpillar, for example).

Using a scraped version of the site, consumers can compare prices across other online stores selling the same item.

Online marketplace or auction site

These online marketplaces provide a meeting place for potential buyers and sellers. In many cases, joining one of these sites can save you the time and money of building your own transactional website. Auction sites (such as www.eBay.com), sites for independent artists and designers (such as www.etsy.com), sites for merchants and wholesalers (such as www.Amazon.com and www.Alibaba.com), and matchmaking sites are all examples of the different types of websites out there (www.buyusa.gov).

Start your ecommerce journey on an online marketplace or an auction site. The Department of Commerce warns against putting all of a company's ecommerce eggs in one basket by focusing only on marketplaces and auction platforms. Roughly 70% of North American ecommerce sites are said to rely on services from Amazon or eBay (shipping, payment gateways and fulfillment, for instance).
