the steps how to proceed to online shopping
Step 1 : Research and Decide
Do an online search for the desired product. That's
the first step for how to shop online. I also recommend doing research on the
store or shopping site as well.
Step 2 : Compare Prices
Compare the prices and features and shipping
conveniences offered from several sites. Make notes. The internet is
a Comparison shopper's paradise. There's so much to choose from! But
you have this advantage - you can take all the time you need to choose.
Step 3 : Decide the website you want to buy from
While doing this, check all the details of the website,
the owners, the headquarters, site reviews, etc.
Step 4 : Look out at the security options
Make sure the shopping site's shopping system is secure,
and offers the payment method you can or want to use. At the very least, read
the "Terms of Service" and decide if you are ready to complete the
transaction. Always check the ’https’ server.
Step 5 : Create an account on the site and log in
Step 6 : Add products to your cart
Carefully select the items from the seller and them to
your cart. Beware, there are many sellers selling the same item but at
different prices. carefully check each
item for accuracy, and the shipping charges, if any. If the total comes to more
than you planned to spend, you can click "remove" to get items out of
the cart.
Step 7 : Proceed to pay and Place the order
Fill out the form with
your name, email, mailing address (if required), and your payment card type and
number, etc. Click the last button (Place order). Payment can be made via many
modes depending on the website. Most prefer CASH ON DELIVERY (COD) as it is the
safest option as you will pay the money after receiving the product. Track the
shipment as needed.
Step 8 : Receive the
product
The ordered goods
will be delivered within the stipulated time period. Receive it, collect the
product. Use it to the best possible way.

your shopping experiences sometimes will take days, and then hours, as you carefully
move from step to step. With time, you will have much more confidence in
digital shopping and will become a smart, confident Power Shopper.
So
friends don’t hesitate to buy your 1st product online.
