Online shopping became popular during the Internet boom in 1999-2000 and becoming a vital factor in business growth where the Role of information and communication technology (ICT) is having a growing and an innovative impact. Amazon.com is one of online shopping founded by Jeff Bezos, where they provided the online bookstore to their customer. They created history by becoming the first bookstore with a presence only on the Internet. Following the success of Amazon, many bookstores with a physical presence also created an online presence on the Internet. Later, portals such as Yahoo.com and MSN.com also started online shopping channels where people could buy more than just books. Closer home, portals such as Indiatimes.com and Rediff.com came up with similar options for the Indian consumer.
The main advantages of Online shopping is that it is convenient, faster and sometimes also cheaper. For instance, rather than standing in a long queue and waiting for your turn to purchase a ticket, people are finding it simpler to log on to a website and buy it. In some instances, people may have to pay a premium for an online purchase but it is still preferred because the convenience factor is higher.
