Features
Nearly all highstreet stores have their own webiste now which allows people to buy items of clothing online. This gives stores a wider customer base so people in remote ares who live no where near a certain store can still buy the companies product.
When finding the stores website for example Topshop you are presented with catorgies of items the store sells like dresses, knitwear, shoes etc.
You select the one you like and then you can browse through the items in this group. When you select an item you like you can view it closer and from many different angles to get a better idea of what the piece of clothing is like.
If you then decide to buy an item of clothing you select the size you want to buy and how many of the item you want. If you are unsure as to what size you can click the size guide for measurments. Then you click add to bag and it appears in the 'My bag' section up the top of the page.
The trouble with internet shopping is there are many sercurity issues. People don't like sending credit card details over the internet incase internet hackers intercept the details and use them. Now though, many sites use encryption software so details are scrabbled on sending and can only be read by decryption software which the only the company will have the details to unscrabble the details to continue the payment process. Other ways of knowing whether a site is trustworthy are that the address bar may turn green to indicate that a site has an additional level of security and a padlock will show in the browser.
You can now also do your food shopping online with all the popular stores such as sainsburys and tescos.
Ebay is another example of an online shopping site where you can buy now or bid on new and used items from clothing to toasters to holidays. It is a comany now worth billions of dollars. All you have to do is start an account and browse through the millions of items on the site. Also once you have an account you can sell goods you no longer need anymore.
