Business-to-Consumer E-Commerce
Business-to-Consumer E-Commerce websites, typically provide a catalog, shopping cart, and payment processing at a minimum. However, B2C sites normally encompass a variety of advanced value-added features. Many of the prevailing features Seattle Web Development & Consulting, LLC develops include:

	User Profiles - Giving repeat customers recommendations, based on their previous purchases (personalization). At checkout, shopper information can be pre-populated into the checkout forms if available.
	Authentication - To accomplish personalization, you must be able to recognize and verify that the patrons are indeed who they say they are.
	Catalog - To display product details to your visitors, you need a catalog. At the very heart of this catalog is an organized, often hierarchical data store of product details.
	Shopping Cart - To maintain the relationship between your visitors and the products they want, you need to give them a shopping cart. Online shoppers need to be able to add and delete items, view the quantity ordered, and alter the contents of their shopping cart, and then resume shopping or proceed to checkout.
	Payment Options - If you want to get paid for the goods and services, you need a way to securely and verifiably transfer money from an account of your users' choice to your own.

To make your Business-to-Consumer site an on-going success, you will need some way to administer its functionality. One area that needs administrative tools is the product catalog. There should be some way to add, delete, and modify products and their associated information. Other areas to take into consideration include the ability to add, modify, and delete shopper information or if you are going to support more advanced features, such as product specials or featured items, implement administrative functionality to add, edit, or delete such specials.
