Purchasing and selling products and services over the internet without the need of going
physically to the market is what online shopping all about. Online shopping is just like a retail
store shopping that we do by going to the market, but it is done through the internet. Online
shopping has made shopping painless and added more fun. Online stores offer product
description, pictures, comparisons, price and much more. Few examples of these are
Amazon.com, ebay.com, framt.com and the benefits of online shopping is that by having direct
access to consumer, the online stores can offer products that cater to the needs of consumer
,cookies can be used for tracking the customer selection over the internet or what is of their
interest when they visit the site again . Online shopping makes use of digital technology for
managing the flow of information, products, and payment between consumer, site owners and
suppliers. Online shopping can be either B2B (business to business) or B2C (business to
consumer)
Shopping cart is one of the important facility provided in online shopping, this lets customer to
