An e-commerce website is an online platform that allows businesses to sell products and services over the internet. E-commerce websites enable customers to browse and purchase products, make payments, and receive delivery without leaving their homes or offices.

E-commerce websites typically have the following features:

1. Product Catalog: a list of products with descriptions, prices, and images.
2. Shopping cart: a virtual shopping cart that allows customers to add products and checkout.
3. Payment gateway: a secure payment processing system that accepts credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, or other payment methods.
4. Order management: a system for managing orders, processing payments, and tracking shipments.
5. Customer service: a platform for customers to ask questions, track orders, and provide feedback.

E-commerce websites can be built using various platforms, such as WordPress, Shopify, Magento, and WooCommerce. E-commerce websites can be owned and operated by businesses themselves or can be hosted by third-party platforms like Amazon or eBay.
