To sum it up... Ecommerce is basically when your site can accept payments and other forms of personal information electronically. It applies to more than just payments, but in most cases, people are referring to the ability to accept payments on your website. There's not really any image I can use to represent Ecommerce so I chose to share a picture of me with a bucket of Crab Fries from when I did some work with Chickie's & Pete's.
