Everything you need to know about online shopping

A Shopholcolic Quoted “I love shopping for things online because when they arrive, it’s like a present to me, from me.”

What is Online Shopping?

Online Shopping is an electronic commerce process where customers buy products and services over the internet through a store, brand or vendor website.

How and when did Online Shopping started?

Online Shopping is attributed to English entrepreneur, Michael Aldrich in the 1980s, when he started a service where businesses could connect and buy each other’s services and products. After the birth of the Internet in 1991 and people could afford a personal computer, stores started to explore another avenue to lure customers to buy their products. Then in 1992, the first online book store, Books.com was started by Charles Stack which opened a floodgate of online stores followed by Amazon and many more.

Online Shopping in India:

Online Shopping sites have transformed how people buy products and services. About 40% of Indians use online shopping on a regular basis. Shopping online has made it easy and convenient to shop from the comfort of your home or office in a few minutes. Online shopping is very frequently used by people who get busier at work, working across time-zones, limited mobility for elders or people living in remote areas for example since 2018, Amazon now has faster deliveries in Leh in Jammu & Kashmir, at 3500 meters above sea level, Leh is the highest place in the world where Amazon delivers. Online shopping stores like eAlpha, eBay, Myntra, Flipkart, Amazon, ShopClues, etc. are more popular than in-store shopping because of the many benefits it has.
