carrying out business, many security systems are being put in place to ensure that the level
hacking and fraud is reduced.
1.1The commercial set up of the supplier of the e-commerce products and services should:
 Electronic products and services refer to the methods which are being used by
different business organization to carry out their business without coming into contact

1.2 E-BUSINESS MODELS
I. Business-to-customer model: This type of the model is when a business organization
sells good or products directly to the consumer/customer online without any form of
physical contact the order and payment of the products is done on-line (Blobel, 2009).
The involved business has only an identity online; the business then offers a wide
range of products to its customers. Most of the income which the business-to-
customer model gets is from the direct sells which they carry out and the processing
fees which is usually demanded before the product is delivered to the customer
examples of business organisations which have adopted this model include
bestbooksbuys.com
II. Business-to-business model: In this model it involves different companies or
business organizations using the online platform (internet) to carry out business
transactions between one another (Nicolaidis, 2010). This model of e-business is the

one which is commonly carried out in the world this is because the nature of the
business to business tractions are very complex and involves multiple process at each
step the income in this type of the model acquires its income through the direct sales
which are carried out.
III. Consumer-to- consumer: Consumer to consumer model is when both the seller and
buyers are both consumers in marketplace online, Craigslist is a good example of the
company which offers an online platform for the consumer to consumer market

are carried out (Andrea Kő, 2015).

consumers are the one who determine the value of the product the sellers the products
to the business organizations or companies. Reverse auctions in this type of the model
are very common. The customers are the one who drives and determines the price of
the goods in this model (Nicolas Navet, 2001).

 Proper packaging of the product, the package of the product should be that it
impresses the customer at the first sight as many e-retailers are not in a position of
meeting one on one with the consumer, in that case the package should be selling out
well (Blaabjerg, 2004).
