GICA Systems – Online Shopping System

GICA Online shopping is a form of electronic platform which allows consumers to directly buy goods from a seller over the Internet using a web browser.

Consumers find a product of interest by visiting the website of the retailer directly or by searching among alternative vendors using a shopping search engine, which displays the same product's availability and pricing at different e-retailers.

Customers can shop online using a range of different computers and devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablet computers and smartphones.

An online shop evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a regular "bricks-and-mortar" retailer or shopping center; the process is called business-to-consumer (B2C) online shopping.

GICA Online stores enable shoppers to use "search" features to find specific models, brands or items.

Online customers can make payment in order to complete a transaction, such as a credit card, an Interac-enabled debit card.

For physical products (e.g., paperback books or clothes), the e-tailer ships the products to the customer.
