EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF E-COMMERCE.

Process of E-Commerce Business includes the purpose of marketing is target to potential buyers, engage
them to enter your website by using internet advertising, email or creating fairs. In addition, businesses should also
establish user groups, forums, chats or customer surveys through surveys to create the return of customers.
Customers are indispensable for e-commerce businesses.

As soon as a customer enters the website, a business site is downloaded. Now you can start tracking and
creating profiles for this customer. Based on that information, you can target the products that this customer is most
interested in. This is the first and important step of e-commerce web.

Customers see the product on the website if the item is arranged by stall, category for easy search. Once
customers are attracted to the items on sale or promotions, this is really a potential customer.
 On the e-commerce website, there is always a shopping cart for customers to shop most conveniently and
easily. The shopping cart is simply a list of items selected by the buyer, quantity, price, attributes (colors, sizes, etc.)
and any other information related to the oorder The shopping cart often provides options to clean the basket, delete
items, and update quantities.

– As soon as the customer has all the items to buy, they will begin the billing process.

– For the buying model between customers and businesses, customers will usually enter information about
shipping addresses and billing.

– Customers can also add information on greetings, gift packs and other information for dependent services.

– After calculating the total value of items (including tax and shipping) the buyer will present the payment
method.

– The options will vary for transactions:

Between customers and businesses usually pay by credit card or pay after delivery.

Between business and business needs to have available all options, including orders, quotes, guarantees.

After the order is completed, it may be necessary to send the customer a receipt. For a business-to-business e-
commerce model, the receipt can be a list attached to the order. For customers, the receipt can be a reprint of the
order on the screen or a list sent to the buyer by Email. In both cases, this process can be easily automated.

If you do not automatically process your credit card, you must first process your financial transactions.
Standard business rules govern this step, such as ordering by phone or mmail Options can be provided to let
customers know about order status, inventory or item supply status.

TRACE THE HISTORY OF E-COMMERCE IN NIGERIA.

Following Paypal’s ban of accounts with Nigerian IP addresses in 2005, E-commerce in Nigeria suffered some
retrogression and was reduced to the barest minimum because there was no alternative way through which electronic
payments to be made. Up until 2009, the obtainable forms of E-commerce were such as required customers to make
bank deposits before the delivery of their purchased goods or services and this hampered the main objectives and
competitive powers of E-commerce which were/are its ability to save time with speedy and near-instant transactions
and the convenience with which transactions could be made regardless of distance and other physical barriers. For
the years that would follow, E-commerce in Nigeria was largely manual, for lack of e-payment platforms which
would not be intercepted by the widespread fraudulence among the Nigerian populace (the red flag which Paypal
closed all Nigerian accounts). But for the move by Nigeria’s Visa-Packed ValueCard, Interswitch, and eTransact to
provide online switching payments, coupled with CBN’s policies such as CIBSS which enables local intra and inter-
bank online transactions banks, the growth of E-commerce in Nigeria would have remained stunted.

Also, with the invention of internet banking launched by Guaranty Trust Bank and First Bank, a glimmer of
hope shone on Nigerian E-commerce. Howbeit, Nigerian E-commerce, just like those of most African countries, is
still in the premature stage and is faced with the challenge of the unwillingness of investors to make substantial
investments. However, experts believe that in another ten years there will be such an emergency that would
strengthen this segment of the Nigerian economy due to the increasing number of internet users, who will, in turn,
utilize the transaction options made available by e-commerce. It was based on this prediction that Jumia, against all
odds, braved the hurdles on the path of Nigerian E-commerce and in June 2012, founded what has become the
largest E-commerce company in Nigeria.Jumia was cofounded by a Ghanaian Harvard Business School graduate
Raphael Afaedor and Rocket Internet, a based in Berlin internet start-up incubator. In about 7 years of operation,
Jumia online marketplace has employed 4000 people and partnered with 50,000 local African companies and
individuals. In Nigeria, its closest competitor is Konga, which is the second-largest E-commerce Company in the
country. At the moment, local E-commerce companies’ short term profitability is not yet a reality but the statistics
divulged that in 2018, there were 92.3 million internet users, and predicts that the number will hit 187.8 million in
2023 and this means more entrants into the market and an increased proclivity for patronage.
