The Types Of Transactons That Can Be Made
A Transactional website is a website where the user purchase items, for example amazon.co.uk, ebay.com and asos.com. Other transactional websites can provide services such as AA with car insurance etc. It is called a transaction website because a transaction is carried out between the customer and the company providing the goods or services.
Every transaction website entails;
· Collecting details from the customer (address, contact details, card details etc.)
· Collecting the payment (a system that is efficient with collecting card payments, however some companies use PayPal – an intermediary between you and the company)
Databases play a vital role in these websites as they store the details of the customers, card details, details of the purchases you have made, details of the products they sell and whether there is any in stock etc.
Tansactions can be as simple as clicking on an image of an item to see if any are in stock. However, there are more complex cases such as when a user is the customer on a website for the first time and has to fill in a form where all their details can be captured.
The next page to appear is where the customer either inputs their account details or creates an account before they can purchase the item.
If the customer does not have an account they click the icon that says Create Your Account. A new page will upload and it will ask the customer to input their details in order for them to purchase their item/s.
The main way of interacting with these pages is to use texts boxes that require information typing into them. The payment method shows another method, called a drop-down menu, where a choice is given (i.e. what credit card they will be using etc.) and the user selects one of these choices.
Just to make the reader feel that they are giving their personal details to a safe website, the website gives an option of the customer viewing a verification that that is the actual website and that they are a safe website.
